Right? I've been called low IQ here... and yet people think they are somehow superior than others.

Ok so in most other fields u can decide who is more deserving based on marks , scores, exam results etc. there is a quantitative assessment

Honestly, even that is not unimpeachable. The reason rich kids usually get better marks and scores is because they've had better teachers, better schools, more stable environment, more coaching, more free time to study and oftentimes even connections to the deans of universities. It doesn't necessarily mean they are more intelligent or more capable than someone who had to make do with a lot less.

The world is unfair and some people are always going to have more advantages over others.

The nepotism debate is a whole bunch of hogwash because people with private companies spending their own money can do whatever they wish with it. None of us can tell Karan Johar where to spend his money or who to hire. It's so weird that people have so much entitlement and think they can demand how other people run their business.

This is the most stupidest thing I have ever read.

Do you know what Manusmiriti stands for? It is just the written set of rules which where made into Hindu property and Hindu law by British for ease in administration by the British East India Company. Same reason they used sharia for Muslims. Slowly they brought everyone under same laws by various acts of Parliament and the courts got power over everyone.

Manusmiriti was used for joint Indian family's property distribution of wealth. It made any male member equal owner of his father's wealth. It also gave women right over their wealth and to distribute it accordingly. Her husband had no right over her wealth.

Middle class cry about nepotism only when they fail or could not achieve anything. They are themselves have created nepotism in this society. Son takes over father's or family business. Middle class begs others for job reference all the time. In most companies in India job reference is needed for employment. Some companies only hire from employee references. Some want employees to be of a particular region or religion. Many middle class employees start rumor to destroy their colleagues image and career. Bollywood does the same thing.

Many outsiders in Bollywood think they will get loads of money after coming to Mumbai. Daily millions land in dream city. Not everyone cannot be auditioned. If your connections help you in getting an accommodation or small gig so what's wrong in that.

It takes load of efforts and patience to survive in Mumbai. The struggling actors needs to put a lot of effort in appearance as thousands of pretty girls and handsome boys compete for a small role. Some do not have star appeal and appear super bland.

Luck also matters. People are lucky if they get a break and movie succeeds. You need to lobby for the best role. There is no shame in snatching roles. If you are easily replaceable its your fault as your talent and acting capabilities are not that great. There is nothing special about you as an actor. If the producer gets free publicity because of star kid, why not?

No matter how much you say I would never support the selfish vile creature called Kanganavirus.

I mean if you're going to start by that, what's the point of discussion.

That's literally not what the debate is even about. They can spend however they want their money, but they are actively working against producers who want to put money into outsider. Keep chaatoing.

That's exactly what the debate is about. All of this started over jealousy that Alia gets her pick of movies. It was specifically related to her and later expanded to others.

Who is Karan Johar actively working against? Just spouting off things without proof amounts to nothing.

If you're talking about something like Dear Zindagi where the director initially wanted another actress, the director herself chose to accept Karan's terms. She always had the option to leave the table and go to some other financier who would let her hire another actress. She decided to do business with Karan because the terms were favorable to her if she compromised on her casting. That's how capitalism works.

Let me remind everyone

Dear Zindagi was an instance Katrina was dropped for Alia

Saaya was suppose to star Katrina and she was dropped for Tara Sharma

Maybe the issue is Katrina 😆

the most hilarious part of the nepotism debate last few months is that the section of fans who call themselves progressive and left wing are the ones doing mental gymnastics defending it... and the ones opposed to it are right wing.. same with authority misusing their power to bully a citizen is supported too when its done by one government authority and vehemently opposed when done by another..

and using misogynistic and patriarchal insults in response to a female misogynist.. how does that make you look better?

minority rights isn't the only aspect of left wing political spectrum...

Yup, those discrepancies haven’t gone unnoticed by me either .... my eyes are on them while they leave footprints with logical loopholes.

Like that song goes, left wing, right wing, chicken wing, they’re all the same thing so it don’t make no difference to me.😆
