Nepotism: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Would you still rate star kids like Ranbir Kapoor or Alia Bhatt if they weren’t born into Bollywood families?

Nepotism has been the buzz word in B-town over the last few years, especially after the sudden death of rising star, Sushant Singh Rajput. Since then, film fans have started to question whether Bollywood is for those who know the right people rather than for those who can act. Would you rate Sara Ali Khan, Ananya Pandey, Abhishek Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor or Alia Bhatt as talented actors if they weren’t born in to star families?

In this podcast, Haroon Rashid is joined by Nayandeep Rakshit from Bollywood Bubble and Amrita Tanna from BizAsia who dissect whether nepotism does really give a β€˜star kid’ or β€˜celeb mate’ the platform they need to shine; or does their fate ultimately depend on how talented an actor they are.
