'Nepotism' is a well-known topic in the Bollywood. There are
numerous actors who belong to film families and have been bashed because of the
existence of nepotism. There are numerous actors including Hrithik Roshan,
Kareena Kapoor Khan, Shahid Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhattand others who
have been rarely questioned about it, all thanks to their incredible
performances in their movies.
Lately, during a chat with a daily, when Alia was questioned
about nepotism issue, the actor gave an astonishing answer stating, "Of
late, I have realised that there is no need to defend the nepotistic nature of
the industry because it does exist. The reason why it has become an emotional
debate is because it is difficult for those who don’t get a chance. If I was on
the other side, I would be heartbroken. I may have felt the same way. Yes, it
does exist everywhere, but this is the only business where there’s no fixed
funda. You need to be at the right place at the right time. For instance, if
you want to be a doctor, you study, give your examination and get a job. In the
film business, you can do whatever you want, but there has to be that X-factor
that people talk about. There are so many people who come from nowhere and make
it big purely on the basis of their presence and what they bring to the
screen."
She further revealed, "An XYZ person can be very good
looking and some other can be marginally good looking, but the latter can be a
bigger star or loved more because of their talent. There are no hard and fast
rules as such, so I totally get the emotional upheaval. As far as I am
concerned, I won’t even say that I was more prepared because I was so and so’s daughter.
I just got very lucky with my first try (Student Of The Year), but you can only
get lucky with that first chance. After that only bhagwaan bachaye."
