Kareena Kapoor once talked about how she couldn\u2019t have been working for years in Bollywood just because of nepotism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As more star kids step into the spotlight, the nepotism debate in Bollywood continues to intensify, with young actors frequently facing harsh criticism for their performances. Back in 2021, Kareena Kapoor addressed nepotism in an interview with Mojo Story, where she reflected on being labelled the \u201cultimate insider\u201d and a \u201cprivileged girl.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kareena Kapoor on nepotism in Bollywood<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When asked about her thoughts on being called the \u201cultimate insider\u201d and the \u201cultimate privileged girl\u201d, Kareena said, \u201cWe are not used to understanding what the situation is; we are used to just attacking people, whether they are from a privileged background or whether they are elitist. I think it\u2019s this idea that if someone has a name, fame, money, success \u2014 it\u2019s bad. The larger picture is not being looked at. Honestly, I want to say that my 21 years of working would not have happened with just nepotism \u2014 it\u2019s not possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kareena pointed out that being a star kid doesn\u2019t guarantee success in the film industry. She said there are many examples of superstar children who haven\u2019t been able to make a mark. She acknowledged that it\u2019s natural for a doctor to want their child to become a doctor, and similarly, people in Bollywood may hope for their children to follow in their footsteps. She added that Bollywood celebrities often become easy targets because their lives and opinions make for an \u201cinteresting watch\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kareena Kapoor there is struggle in her story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kareena also reacted to Janhvi Kapoor, saying she \u201cfeels guilty about her privilege\u201d and said, \u201cMy struggle is there, but my struggle is not as interesting as somebody who comes on a train with \u20b910 in his pocket. Yeah, it\u2019s not been that, and I can\u2019t be apologetic about it. But I also have a story to tell; every human being has a story to tell. But to tell someone that your story is smaller or bigger or more interesting \u2014 that pointing finger is just terrible, it\u2019s just wrong on every level. The audience has made us. Nobody else has made us. The same people pointing fingers are making these nepotistic stars, right? You are going to watch the movies. Don\u2019t go \u2014 nobody has forced you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kareena further stated that most of the biggest stars in Bollywood \u2014 like Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, and Rajkummar Rao \u2014 are all outsiders and they have worked hard. But similarly, whether it\u2019s Alia Bhatt or herself, they have also worked hard, and it is the audience who can make or break them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kareena Kapoor\u2019s upcoming movie<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kareena Kapoor will next be seen in Meghna Gulzar\u2019s film Daayra. The film also features Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role. The actor shared a couple of pictures on Instagram and wrote, \u201cI\u2019ve always said that I\u2019m a director\u2019s actor\u2026 and this time I cannot wait to work with one of the finest directors we have, @meghnagulzar, and alongside the magnificent @therealprithvi, whose work I deeply admire. To my dream team, #Daayra \u2014 let\u2019s do this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0Source: Hindustan Times<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kareena Kapoor once talked about how she couldn\u2019t have been working for years in Bollywood just because of nepotism.
