The Real Problem with Nepotism - Page 3

Where is Nysa Devgan these days? It used to be that we would see her everyday on all the Viral, Manav etc accounts. Now I think she’s been MIA for a couple of months or longer. She wasn’t even in Kajol’s family Diwali pictures. And did she delete her account?

I saw a disturbing video of her once since then I have decided to not look for her

By influencer I mean the ones that post only party pictures and curated photoshoots. Nysa easily can get 1-2 million followers and then the beauty brand deals will roll in. I assure you Nysa is not thinking very far into the future. She'll be a less "everywhere" Orry.

Beauty brands will try it out. Then they ditch the influencers who don't sell. Nysa is highly unlikely to.

Its one thing to get an opportunity....and a whole other thing to take it for granted.

We all know nepotism exists and have accepted that. Thanks, thats great.

The real problem is, when UNDESERVING nepotistic babies, get unlimited chances to "improve". I will give you an example. The Archies kids SUCK (Khushi-Suhana-Agastly) they are simple TERRIBLE. However, because they are nepo babies, the industry will give them 100 chances to "come back and improve" - the same way duds like Abhishek, Arjun Kapoor, Ananya and Janhvi never seem to run out of opportunities.

THAT is the problem. Why are UNTALENTED nepo kids, forcibly given multiple opportunities? I understand if you are so and so's child and get a movie - fine, I get it. BUT....why is it okay for them to be bad and continue to receive offers? And more importantly - with all the access and resources WHY ARENT THEY GOOD? Some of them cant speak, cant dance, cant do anything.....WHY? Why are they not better prepared? How dare they join the industry and " learn as they go"? Its one thing to GET an opportunity, but another thing to get an opportunity and having done no hardwork to make the most of it.

THAT is the problem. You have people like Tripti Dimri, Rajkumar Rao or Sanya Malhotra - who are great and amazing....ON DAY ONE itself. Why do they have to show up and be amazing on day one? but Ananya and Suhana can bring their wooden faces everywhere and be celebrated?

If you're going to give me a Hrithik or Rani, then I am here for nepotism. But dont give me a Ananya, Khushi or Suhana and expect me to be okay with it.

And also - some people with their "I am fan of their parents so I will automatically root for them" - Seriously? Are you dumb? Whoever thinks like that, you are the problem with the world and a true manifestation of bias.

Main point - if you are nepo and get a movie, I am okay with it. But if you are horrible on screen and haven't' done any prep or hardwork- you need to disappear and spare us all.

Shaitan, curious to know what do you objectively think of Alia talent wise (I know you’re not her biggest fan but if you benchmark her against the other you mentioned)? If you didn’t dislike her persona, would you consider her deserving?

I think Alia can be good in certain roles, but I also think that she is overrated. She can act well, and delivers at times. But there are also times she does not deliver. She was awful in Brahmastra and I found her pretty bland in Rocky Aur Rani as well. Not to mention her laughable Hollywood debut.

The problem is, she is made out to be at Madhuri-Sridevi level and she really isn't. For me, she also represents everything that is wrong with Bollywood, because of her other wannabes are trying to "make it" as well.

I wonder if her not being the archetype of a BW heroine (look and glamour wise) has actually helped somehow build this serious actor image she has.

I think it's unfair to compare Nysa. She doesn't want to be an actress, and hopefully Kajol/Ajay have abandoned that push because she was getting trolled for all the posts. Nysa is more of a funny influencer type, like Sonam Kapoor now that she's not doing movies anymore and taking roles from other people.

I know you are an insider. Your tea is always accurate. But you are panmasala. And I always thought you are somehow rested to Ajay Devgan circle. I don’t know if it’s the pan masala connection or something else.

By the way, do you think Alaya Furniturewala has a shot? I have seen her in two movies and she’s the only current nepo who can act.
