Kangana Ranaut has always been open about her opposition to the nepotism culture in Bollywood. She has not only bashed filmmakers and directors for the same but also slammed the actress, actors and their films, whenever they got some recognition in the media. Amidst all, Kangana has majorly slammed the Bhatts and Kapoors, and called Karan Johar the ‘flag bearer of nepotism’ as according to her, he is the one who has always given several opportunities to the nepo kids. Now, an old video of Mahesh Bhatt talking about Kangana’s judgements on nepotism in Bollywood is going viral on social media, and netizens are reacting to it vigorously.
Mahesh Bhatt reveals his daughter, Alia Bhatt’s journey in the industry is similar to Kangana Ranaut or any other actress in the industry
During an old interview with NDTV, Mahesh Bhatt was asked about his take on nepotism in the film line. The interviewer asked him, “You are from the industry, your daughter is doing really well on her own, now they are three independent women who come from the outside and have carved a niche for themselves. What is your take?” To this, Mahesh Bhatt immediately revealed that although he feels Kangana’s take on nepotism is undeniable, he can be heard revealing that Alia Bhatt’s journey is similar to that of any actress in the industry. In his words:
“See there is no deny, Kangana was right in a way, the film industry world is inward looking. Its like a kind of fortress but to say that every narrative of every achiever is very easy because they take birth in a family which is of a filmmaker in untrue. Like the climb for Alia from Juhu to box-office was as difficult as Kangana’s climb, of these girls climb. Just because she came from a privileged environment, infact the odds are against you, the knives are out, because people are too eager to tell you your part and thank god the part may or break people.”
