Palak Tiwari comments on nepotism - Page 3

For how long are "children" supposed to depend on their parents? Kids can inherit all the property, house, private companies if parents have one but that's different than a parent gifting a job or career to his child. Lets say parents even helped their grown up kid to get his foot on the door, but from there the kid has to make his own path, and if he's still dependent on his parents after that and feels like he deserves it then he's just being entitled.

In Bollywood you see nepokids kept on being casted again and again in lead roles even after the audience has rejected them. Ofcourse parents would still help their child but nobody is going to hold that person in high regard who is still dependent on his parents. People would just call him what he is, a loser!

And it's not even like these nepokids are working only in films made by their parents. Bollywood has a system of "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours", where producers follow a caste system of only casting nepokids in their circle, no matter whose kid they are. If Palak ever debuts in Bollywood, it won't be a film produced by Shweta. Someone like Salman would launch her who has no blood relation with her.

If these nepokids think they deserve a chance in movies just because their parents have connections, then no, you just got it because of your parents and you should feel obliged and not entitled. And shaming talentless nepos is not shaming their parents. What sort of logic is that?

Also parents can encourage their kids to go in other fields as well. Something in which their kid is good at instead of getting their kid a permanent tag of a failure by the whole world. That's a sign of good parent as well. But most of these nepokids don't have any interest in acting and just want to become famous. Obviously audience would call them out if they see bad acting by actors who are only there because of nepotism.

All nepo’s will flop badly! Days are up. They done

But again, how long is for the parent to decide, isn't it? Even if mutual scratching goes on.

How is it up to any outsider to decide what a man or a woman wants to do with his hard-earned money and reputation? If Amitabh decides to star only in movies including his son, I might call him crazy, but it's his reputation. If he doesn't find financiers and puts in his own money, most of India would call him crazy, but it's still his own money.

India doesn't get to tell Amitabh he should make films with Rajkumar Rao instead. India can only refuse to watch.

I'm not derailing one bit. I'd in fact say you're trying to derail by making it personal. 😆

Neither the woman in the video nor I said parents shouldn't live for themselves. In fact, I repeated several times they should.

But parents are going to work for their own kids, not someone else's. Those are just facts. She's stating facts. Nothing else.

Any charity I or anyone else will do for others is just that. Charity. Love and belonging and support go to family. Any idea it might be otherwise is fictional.

Ofcourse it's upto them to decide and it's on us to comment and that's exactly what we are doing. Nobody is holding a gun on Amitabh or KJo's head to make them work with outsiders. But people will comment, even more in case of celebrities. That's how society is. KJo is obsessed with nepokids. That's what truth is!

If the kid is not talented and the parent uses his/ her connections / money / etc. to get work for the kid, the kid would almost certainly fail at the job and get frustrated or in the worst case depressed. That isn't good for the kid or the parent. If Palak means her Mom spending on her acting classes or dance classes or something, that's okay because then her parent is helping her to get the skill sets, work ethics so that Palak cam face the challenges of an actor and hopefully find success.

Unfortunately there’s too many examples of this favoritism being done by other people also. KJO is not the only one. Lots of people do it. Even outsiders who get power.

Ive seen parents save up thr hard earned money to pass off to thr childrens so they can have a better life. Does tht make the children entitled?

She's saying Sweta Tiwari's success would be in vain if she can't help her child out! Wow. Entitled much?

Sure there are, but KJo would likely be a bigger celebrity than most of them. He's more visible in media and holds alot more power, so more comments on him.
