Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has opened a can of worms and re-ignited the nepotism debate. Many Bollywood actors and filmmakers are coming out in the open to call out the movie mafia for Industry’s nepotistic and partial behaviour of not giving a fair chance to the outsiders. During her latest explosive interview with Republic TV, Kangana Ranaut calling out Karan Johar for promoting star kids. The whole debate had started when Manikarnika actress had called KJo a ‘flag bearer of nepotism’ during her appearance on Koffee With Karan.
Bobby Deol, who’s returning to movies with his digital debut with Netflix original, Class of '83, recently reacted to the spiking nepotism debate. Dharmendra’s son, Bobby Deol said, it’s easier for a star kid to get their first film but eventually, their work will speak for them. Speaking to Pinkvilla, Bobby Deol said, “I think it exists in every profession, not just movie business. It has been there always. I think it is not the fault of the kids who grew up in a family who were in the same business. They did not choose to be born in the family. Then every parent's duty is to bring their child up in the right way, educate them and then when a profession they choose, support them. Sometimes, a doctor’s son would want to be a doctor, or his father would want him to be a doctor, similarly, an actor’s son might want to be an actor. I feel struggles and opportunities come equally to everyone.”
He further added, “If you are from the movie business, the first movie is easier to get but that doesn’t mean that the one movie would make your career. No. Eventually, it is your work which will speak for you and if you are good, people will want to work with you and that’s how my career was built. I was a Deol when I was launched but then I had my own identity as Bobby. I guess even though I am an insider, I am still struggling. I am not saying it is easier or not easier for insider or outsider, I think it is just that the population is so much and people trying for different profession that is is difficult to get man opportunities. It is also the luck that comes into factor. Not everyone gets a chance to play cricket.”
He concluded his statement while giving a piece of advice to the youngsters. He said, “My advice to all youngsters, that it is a difficult profession but don’t give up. Be persistence. Keep trying, stay positive because a person like me who is an insider had to struggle also to get good work. All the major stars in our country are outsiders if you see. My father was an outsider but he made." (ALSO READ:Kangana Ranaut Mocks Deepika Padukone And Her 'Repeat After Me' Posts On Depression: 'Stop Using Mental Illness So Loosely')
