Bollywood A-lister Vidya Balan has shared her thoughts on the burning debate around the prevalence of nepotism in the industry.
In a new interview with an Indian media outlet, to promote her new film ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’, seasoned actor Vidya Balan got candid about the nepotism in Bollywood and shared her two cents on the matter.
She said, “Nepotism or no nepotism, I am here. Kisi ki baap ki industry nahi hai, nahi toh har baap ka beta, har baap ki beti successful hote (The film industry does not belong to anyone’s father, else every star kid would be successful).”
The ‘Sherni’ actor, who has always been experimental with the kind of roles she takes up, further added, “I have been happy doing my own things. There were times when I felt like, ‘Maybe if I had the protection of certain people, people would have been a bit kinder in those phases.’ But in terms of opportunities, I don’t think anybody has been able to deny me my share.”
