in the industry'. Many Bollywood celebs have
expressed their opinions about the same.
Filmmaker Karan Johar and actress Kangana
Ranaut even got into a war of words over
the issue!
And the latest name to be added to the list is
Shruti Haasan. While talking about the issue,
she said, "I am very proud of my surname,
but my parents have never really helped
me. I am the nepotistic product of anti-
nepotism. In the beginning, people would
say, 'Kamal Haasan aur Sarika ki beti hai'.
I had to work for years to build my career.
So, when people talk about nepotism, I
want to tell them, 'Please go jump off a
cliff'. Even if you are not from the industry,
you will have that one person helping you
technically, even that is nepotism." (sic)
In the same interview, the actress even said
that she being the darkest person in the
family, she chose not to endorse any
fairness product!
