it happens every where just like a student has more chances of entering an Ivy League uni if the parents are alumni or a student with doctor parents have more chances of entering medical school cos their parents know someone, to succeed they still need to be intelligent and it happens in Hollywood it's just not hampered about as much as in Bollywood maybe because thats it seems like fastest way to be rich and famous in India . in hollywood they become writers, directors, actors, musicians or just famous for famous sake to give a few examples

why is Michael Jackson's daughter on cover of rolling stone and just got an endorsement

Charlie sheen

To some extent it is but is currently hot topic and blown out of proportion. You need talent as well and cannot survive only due to nepotism. Else Abhishek would have been a superstar now. They get some chance surely but without talent soon become goner like Abhishek, Imran khan etc.

Yes they have easy access to directors so may be they get their first movie easily.I am not denying that.But ultimately to survive in Bollywood you need talent and hard work .And only star kids who have been able to do that survive.

So i don't think its that big an issue as its being made out.Its not like industry is full of untalented star kids whereas there are only few talented outsiders.Infact industry is full of talented outsiders whereas there are only few talented star kids .Rest fizzle out due to lack of talent.

Nepotism and connections can give a grand launch and a few subsequent films but if they lack talents then ultimately they will fade out or get only multi starers or side roles

Nowadays everyone is blaming only KJo for nepotism but nobody is talking about Salman who is the main culprit.

KJo has launched many actors who can atleast act. He does take their audition (if what he says is true) while Salman doesn't even take any audition. Those two star kids Aditya Panchol's son and Athiya Shetty were told by him to not act and do whatever they want. He launched so many talentless actors in the industry due to his influential background and he forces others to cast them. Even on KWK, he mentioned that he asked a producer to cast his friends if he was not given the role and he doesn't bother whether they are deserving or not. Biggest example, Iulia who is not even a good singer is singing at almost all functions.
