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.
