Believe it or not, but the debate around the topic of nepotism is never going to end in Bollywood. Nepotism has been and will always remain one of the most important terms in the dictionary of Hindi cinema
The latest actress who has opened up about the much-talked-about issue of nepotism is Kriti Sanon. In an interview with an online publication, the talented actress said, "I am very ambitious and I know that I have the potential to do a lot more. I want to work with certain A-list directors. So, I have got great opportunities but if I compare, there are a few more which I really want and I would love to have. The difference is still there. I don't mind reaching out to directors. If I had been from a film family, I would not have to reach out. They would already know me, and I would have interacted with them somewhere. But after a while, only your work speaks. It probably takes way longer or a greater number of hit films and performances to sort of get there.”
Sanon, who was last seen in Panipat (2018), went on to add that she too has been replaced by a star-kid in a film. "I do not know if they dialled the phone or not, but someone who was from a film family, or there was a little more buzz about that person, had replaced me. So, yes, it has happened but I do not know the reason behind it. The director might have genuinely wanted that person. It has happened a few times."
When asked about dealing with such situations, the actress said, "It irritates you a little bit and you feel bad. What else can you do beyond a point? But everyone has their own share of successes or failures. Things happen or do not happen for a reason. Sometimes, I did not get a film I really wanted to do and then, it has not worked as well. So maybe, some of it was for good.”
