It's a debate brought by two personalities who've decided to quote-unquote each other, says Kajol on nepotism!

Nepotism discussion has been going on in Bollywood for quite a few months now. The controversy started off in February when Kangana Ranaut appeared on Karan Johar's chat show and called him a flag bearer of nepotism. Though Karan didn't hit back initially, later he responded to the claim at an event. Since then the war of words hasn't stopped.

Lately, the nepotism debate, which had cooled down a bit, was discussed at IIFA awards by Saif Ali Khan, Varun Dhawan and Karan Johar. While the trio later apologized for taking a dig at Kangana, the debate now refuses to die down.

In an interview with a daily, Kajol was questioned to comment on nepotism to which she told, "I think it is a debate brought on by two personalities (referring to Karan and Kangana) who have decided to quote- unquote each other. I honestly think it’s a moot point because every child wants to grow up and be like their parents."

She further added, "Lawyers’ children grow up and become lawyers, and doctors’ children grow up and become doctors. And sometimes both of their children become actors.”

The actress further specified, "It is an open world. It is a free space. Anybody can become anything that they want to become. The people who succeeded in the industry, and by example you can take any name you want, they have succeeded because of their talent and sheer hard work. I don’t think all the people who have succeeded have that much to claim over their bloodline."
