John Abraham-1


While any other actor, who comes from a non-industry background, would niggle about favoritism' or, I would say, nepotism' in Bollywood, John does not see a problem with it.

While talking on this subject he shared:

"People talk about nepotism. I think there is nothing wrong with it. A doctor's son becomes a doctor and a judge's son becomes a judge. Then why do we have a problem with our industry?

John Abraham-2

However, John believes that an actor's offspring may get more chances as compared to newcomers coming from the non-industry background, but ultimately it is one's talent that takes one farther. Here's what he expressed:

"Having said that, if you are an actor's son, you will get more chances. But your success is mainly dependent on your talent. Look at Ranbir! He's proved his mettle. People love him. But people may not like someone else as much. I don't think there should a problem with nepotism. I get along very well with those boys (who belong to established film families). There is nothing wrong. I am not like, "No, I am from outside, so I should not be gelling with them.

Though the handsome hunk John Abraham does not have any problem with nepotism, but he does have issues with people who think they can buy everything with their riches.

"People often say that I don't like rich people. Honestly, I like very few rich people. I have a problem (with them). I don't know whether it's right or wrong, but I do have a problem (with them). I have a problem with rich people because they feel entitled. They think they can buy everything.

A doctor's son doesnt get into mbbs because his father or mother is a doctor. He works hard n clears the entrance which is one of the most difficult entrances to crack. Without adequate iq, a doctor's son is nothing. It is a different thing when ppl buy seats in medical colleges. That is very unfair.
The example of nepotism in intellectual fields like mbbs is the fact that once they are in mbbs, kids of doctors get more marks than outsiders. But now with neet pg coming into the picture, these extra nepotism laced marks are of not much value as they dont offer much advantage while getting a PG seat.
In BW, its different. Star kids get ample opportunities inspite of failing, ppl still invest in them. They enter BW without any struggle. Its stupid to compare it with other fields and say its okay. It actually is not.

heard of management quota?
U can buy a seat in mbbs and post grad if u have enough money and just passing marks. A lot od genuine mbbs passouts toil hard to get a post grad seat ..some don't make it despite a good score but rich kids with just qualifying mark which is as low as 20% in entrance exam can buy a post grad Seat. Nepotism rocks

Management quota can be availed by any rich kid. Doesnt have to be a doctor's kid. Read my whole post before judging maybe? I am doctor myself and nobody knows the struggles of an mbbs grad better than me...now buying a post grad seat is illegal and discontinued but still there are ppl who unfairly indulge in such activities. Nepotism does not mean buying ur way to success. It means favouring ur own kith n kin when it comes to opportunities. And in govt colleges outsiders and doctor kids are put on an equal footing when it comes to pg and ug admissions.

Nepotism of any kind, in any field is wrong. It's these practices that can pull a country down...
Something similar is happening in education system. India is facing so much brain drain, why ? It's cause of quota system where certain quota people get admission without enough marks, yet few people who get good grades are deprived just cause they belong to higher caste, resulting in them going abroad n settling there...

Same way bollyBoll give ample opportunities to their kids, even after failure... It is affecting Bollywood itself with talent and creativity drain...

Aren't Indian doctors overpaid? Most of them enter medical field only to make money not to serve patients. Like Aamir said those who arent interested in serving poor patient should never enter medical Field and spoil its name. According to recent survey most indians have horrible opinion about doctors and they rank poorly along with politicians & police. These days one can apply for MBBS only if u come from super rich family .In chennai all the private college ask for over 50 lakh to 1 cr donation plus 17 lakh yearly fees.
