bold statements during filmmaker Karan
Johar's Koffee with Karan. On the celebrity
chat show, Kangana requested Karan to
write a chapter on nepotism in her biopic.
In a very subtle tone, the Queen actor said,
"In my biopic, if ever it's made, you'll play
that stereotypical Bollywood biggie, who is
like you know...very snooty and completely
intolerant towards outsiders, flag bearer of
nepotism, the movie mafia." She answered
all the tricky questions like a boss and left
KJo short of words. She even went on to say
that Karan suffers from verbal diarrhea.'
Though Karan didn't react to Kangana's
statement, it hasn't gone down well with
one of his proteges and favourite students
- Alia Bhatt, who has proved her mettle in
the industry with movies like Highway, Udta
Punjab and Dear Zindagi.

Recently at an event, when Alia was asked
about her take on nepotism, the actor said,
"I think a star kid can get that first film due
to nepotism. But to constantly get films just
because you belong to a filmi family, is not
possible." Taking a dig at many star kids
who could not make it big in the industry
Alia said, "I don't want to take any names,
but there have been many examples of sons
and daughters of lineage who have come
and gone without achieving anything. What
about that? Eventually, people come to see
you as an actor and not because your family
is famous, and you can't fool them."
More from the world of Entertainment:
The Highway actor also mentioned that it is
not her fault that she is born in a filmy
family. "I am aware people do struggle to
make a mark in the industry, but it's not
right to blame nepotism. I didn't plan my
birth in the Bhatt family. I can't change that
and today, I am successful not just because
my family is famous, but also because I have
worked hard and you can't take it away
from me," Alia quipped.

Alia, today, has evolved as a fine actor and
remains on the wish list of many
filmmakers. The young star has made it very
clear that she owns her success and
nobody has the right to take away the
credit from her.
