I want my kids to make a name for themselves, says SRK on Nepotism!

Megastar Shah Rukh Khan, who hails from a non-filmy background, tells he doesn't understand the discussions on nepotism in Bollywood, hence he doesn't have an opinion on it.

"I don't understand this (nepotism). How can I understand it? I am a Delhi boy, who went to Mumbai at the age of 25. There everybody loved me and accepted me. So, I don't understand this talk," Shah Rukh Khan said.

Shah Rukh Khan, who has three children Aryan, Suhana and AbRam with wife Gauri Khan, further added, "I want my kids to make a name for themselves on their own feet. If they want to become marine biologist, then she should become that. If they want to become an actor or a filmmaker, then that's also great.

"I don't understand this discussion (on nepotism). When I hear the word 'nepotism', I feel the other person is talking about Napoleon. Even though I know enough English, still I don't understand it and the discussion. Whether I agree or disagree I don't even understand it so how can I have an opinion?"

Actress Kangana Ranaut was among the first ones who raised her voice against the prevailing nepotism in the entertainment industry and called filmmaker Karan Johar a "flag bearer of nepotism" on his popular chat show "Koffee With Karan".

Later, Johar along with actors Saif Ali Khan and Varun Dhawan poked fun at Kangana at the IIFA Awards last month by saying that "nepotism rocks". They later apologised for their act.
