We all know nepotism exists and have accepted that. Thanks, thats great.


The real problem is, when UNDESERVING nepotistic babies, get unlimited chances to "improve". I will give you an example. The Archies kids SUCK (Khushi-Suhana-Agastly) they are simple TERRIBLE. However, because they are nepo babies, the industry will give them 100 chances to "come back and improve" - the same way duds like Abhishek, Arjun Kapoor, Ananya and Janhvi never seem to run out of opportunities.


THAT is the problem. Why are UNTALENTED nepo kids, forcibly given multiple opportunities? I understand if you are so and so's child and get a movie - fine, I get it. BUT....why is it okay for them to be bad and continue to receive offers? And more importantly - with all the access and resources WHY ARENT THEY GOOD? Some of them cant speak, cant dance, cant do anything.....WHY? Why are they not better prepared? How dare they join the industry and " learn as they go"? Its one thing to GET an opportunity, but another thing to get an opportunity and having done no hardwork to make the most of it.


THAT is the problem. You have people like Tripti Dimri, Rajkumar Rao or Sanya Malhotra - who are great and amazing....ON DAY ONE itself. Why do they have to show up and be amazing on day one? but Ananya and Suhana can bring their wooden faces everywhere and be celebrated?


If you're going to give me a Hrithik or Rani, then I am here for nepotism. But dont give me a Ananya, Khushi or Suhana and expect me to be okay with it.


And also - some people with their "I am fan of their parents so I will automatically root for them" - Seriously? Are you dumb? Whoever thinks like that, you are the problem with the world and a true manifestation of bias.


Main point - if you are nepo and get a movie, I am okay with it. But if you are horrible on screen and haven't' done any prep or hardwork- you need to disappear and spare us all.

We bash Nepo Babies. But I also propose bashing Nepo spouses who pretend to be home designers despite possessing the style sense of a 5 year old.

Shaitan, I agree with what you said.


Problem is still their money to spend as they please. The only say audience has is in choosing not to watch.


Re: fans. I'm not a fan of Suhana. Why would I be? But people can be fans of whomever they want for whatever reasons they pick or for no reason at all.

Completely agree here. They themselves and even audience know that that they are going to debut sooner or later. Like Jahnavi, Nysa, Sara, Suhana...they all were parading forever. Suhana-Ananya-Shanaya trio even spoke something on the lines of 'oh our friendship won't be affected even when all three of us will be in same business '. And this was way before their movies were announced!! Yet they are so bad at the craft they are supposedly passionate about and are working hard at. smiley39Its not like they were busy studying or achieved anything else. Itane saal kiya kya??? smiley11

Compare Nysa's 'Muze padhana bahot pasand he' to Konkona in Mr. & Mrs. Iyer act and see the difference.

Shaitan, at least wait for the Archies to come out lol. I have a feeling the nepos and non-nepos won't be up to your mark besides Mihir and Vedang (since they are almost 30 compared to the rest of the cast).


Also thoughts on Alaya F? She was good in her debut. Nothing has stuck for her stardom-way though.

I think it's unfair to compare Nysa. She doesn't want to be an actress, and hopefully Kajol/Ajay have abandoned that push because she was getting trolled for all the posts. Nysa is more of a funny influencer type, like Sonam Kapoor now that she's not doing movies anymore and taking roles from other people.
