. But on Koffee with Karan 4 years after this film came out KJO asked Zoya what advice would you give Rani. An Zoya said I would want her to go back in time and do luck by chance smiley36



See, how is this behaviour any different. Karan gets all the flak, but the rest are just as bad. 😆

In this age of heightened sensitivity. This retro active wishing of other actors is not cool. Zoya should be lucky that anyone was willing to be in her movie. Why did she hold onto this dream scenario w Rani 😆

I never thought "Luck By Chance" was a nepotism critique. In the end, Sona is comfortable in her status as a small-time actor and not a big star. To me it read more like choices - you can accept the status quo or you can pay the price to change it.

When the castle is under attack they pull the drawbridge, barricade the doors, and hunker down for the long haul. The nepotism debate is an attack on the castle. So Zoya is just doubling down.

I am not talking about commercial success, she might not be a commercial song/dance heroine ( Has she done any song/dance routine?)


I meant acting skills and proving her talent ( Haven’t followed her recently though)

Both were outsiders who did questionable and immoral things to try and get ahead. The more cut throat one succeeded - and he did it with a lot of luck. We also get other perspectives on producing, directing, financing and writing in Bollywood. Most cutting we get Dimple's character telling her nepo daughter of all she had to do or was rather made to do and sacrifice to make it.

Didn't she go all out and cite that flawed argument of "beauty pageant Queens having access to BW due to their face which they didn't work for" as though it equates to "poor hapless star kids not being able to help which family they're born into"...

She loses all reason when confronted and she has her pretentious Dad who eggs her on as though she's delivered pearls of wisdom. I believe he was with her in that interview...


She's also openly said on KWK that she loves Kareena, finding her inane discussions at SRK's parties adorable.

She probably cast Sanjay in LBC because they're so tight at those parties which has extended to Maid in Heaven. Her comments on Suhana's IG were always fawning her before she cast her.

The all out star kid casting in Archie's is deliberate, as if to say a big "eff you" to those that questioned her during the debate at pandemic time.

She’s against nepotism? But she’s a nepo herself?
