Akshaye Khanna on nepotism: The 200 to 250 families of the film - Page 2

Alia is naturally talented.. And she has immense screen presence..I find her a delight to watch on screen.

The film industry has not said it. The 200 to 250 families of film industry cannot make a star. They can make a film, but not a star.

We've all said the same, audience makes the star. Thank goodness for that..

That is the whole freaking point!!! You can make them a film. An outsider struggles to even get a film. No one is saying the film industry shouldn't help star kids, just acknowledge your privilege. Is it so hard to do that?

Why do these star kids give moronic arguments about nepotism. Nepotism exists. Period. It exists in every field and that's the truth. Families help family members to break into an industry,any industry if they can. Ofcourse they gotta be talented enough to sustain the job. But they get their biggest break handed to them on a silver platter while millions struggle even for one second of reel footage. That's the truth. That's Nepotism. Why can't these morons accept it. What's so hard to accept.

And all these ppl supporting these stars' stupid statements and saying 'oh nepotism doesn't exist stop coming for star kids' well imagine yourself working equally as hard as someone who's dad knows the person taking your interview for a job. You know you're equally as good or better but you don't even get an interview cause that other person with their father's connection gets it. They could be shit at their job but they get such a massive advantage. This noone can deny.

Alia is talented. Please let it go. Its not like Athiya Shetty was in Highway. 🥱 And besides didn't this industry give oodles of chances to a non-actor like Aishwarya just because of her looks?

and the biggest example that its the audience and not the family who makes a star is Salman Khan himself...Salman and his siblings had the same parents . same opportunities growing up and yet Salman made it big time and his siblings did not...

Akshaye makes so much sense...u can launch a person ..u cannot make them a star..

I don't even understand why so much debate of nepotism in BW...its an industry where most of the money invested is private money...If tomorrow SRK or Akshay or Aamir want to launch their kids with their own money...why should they be blamed...doesn't everyone promote their own kids...if u had a family run business...would u promote ur own kids or bring someone from outside...

and if the kids are not worth it...audience will kick them out sooner or later.

Agreed but then some producers dont look beyond their own pool of star kids. Which makes the industry stagnate. There are so many talented kids outside who could do with a little push.

Its deffo risky but its worth looking for such talents.
