@@ramikaarora51 the problem is not only nepotism but untalented getting undeserving opportunities. Nepotism has always existed for example Ajay Devgan, Kajol, karishma or Kareena.

i literally thought Sharmin was playing a blind girl for few minutes then i realized nah the girl can't act to save her life. No expression, zero dialouge delivery, no command over the dialouge like she was a dead fish. Taha Shah was looking so charming & he captivated the screen everytime he appeared too bad this girl ruined the romance & chemistry that could have been a nice added touch to this show. Tanya Mantikla as Alamzeb would have killed it.
I thought I'm the only one to think so! Atleast you were confused for few minutes but I was literally confused till the end of Episode 1. She barely expressed through her eyes and emoted any emotion.
@@amritaparida5527 it's actually crazy to think all the actors have expressed their emotions through their eyes & there was her 🤦🏾♀️ i was so annoyed & she took so much of screen time. imagine getting a crucial role in SLB productions & giving bullocks.
Arjun Kapoor is such a strange option that bollywood keeps pushing. He has never improved in a decade. He can't emote, can't dance, lacks charisma, doesn't seem very hardworking, doesn't have some distinct looks, the guy barely even cares about his fitness unlike the other nepos. Yet he keeps getting leading man roles and those films keep being flops. The audience has never really connected to him ever and I have never heard anyone say 'I want to really watch that film because Arjun Kapoor is there'. Arjun Kapoor really is a mystery to me. Must be among the worst nepo products bollywood ever churned out because he keeps getting backed by big production houses.
Stars pull more numbers than a random, so it’s a safe bet. Movies are a business after all. Not to mention, their family might be involved in the production costs, so it’s basically upto them. It’s their wish as they are the ones taking the risk.
@Maadhara Bollywood can try to pretend like Arjun Kapoor is a star. He has never shown any star qualities and he isn't some box office pull either. He is a guaranteed loss of investment. I mean he has been in industry since what 12 years now? What exactly does he brings to the table? How is he bankable in any way? I'm thinking this has something to do with money laundering.
@@Pkourmmabd bro, they aren't making movies to please people 😅, they make movies to benefit themselves. Whether people accept or not, that's the way it is. People may hate it, but like I said, they aren't there to prove anything, profit or loss, it's upto them. Yup, the money laundering could also definitely be a reason. So basically expecting them to pick people based on talent is pointless in a industry that's there to make money.

I feel very bad for Sanya Malhotra...she is extremely beautiful, amazing actor and good dancer...but not getting the opportunity...Also, Wamika Gabbi's work in Jubilee is mind-blowing
She's constantly doing good films not one film is bad in her filmography. Did 2 Netflix original films, commercial jawan film bas media ne overhype nhi kar rakha alia, sara, jhanvi ki tarah
It’s about visibility and PR and Sanya malhotra or outsiders cannot compete with nepo kids on that front. A bland performance also will be written all over by glowing reviews… like jammy does here too! How much mileage was given for ananya’s one decent performance while Sanya malhotra had been given one great performance after another

@@roronoauchiha69 Naa those were great performance but now Even the auras that those movies provided has been exhausted too and now she is nothing but a delusional yesteryear actress who still hasn't come to terms that her stardom has passed away a long time ago😅
What irritates me is that media is always behind startkids. Why can't media focus their cover on stories of talents like Richa chada, Mrunal Thakur, Vikrant, Rajkumar.. Media plays crucial role for starkids to have them better reach than real talents.
Media is not focussing on them because no one is paying them to do so! Starkids have their PR doing everything for them, not every outsider has that. They can afford it at a much later stage of their careers once they get a certain position whereas starkids have that privilege right from day 1.
It's about the Indian audience, they for no reason wants to know about a starkids life. Check the views of the media of actors like Ayushman, Rajkumar Rao and then some random starkid who is not even launched.
Sharmin was horrible as Alamzeb, Taha Shah Badussah was carrying their scenes singlehandedly. Ironical how the problem with nepotism was so apparently visible everytime Taha and Sharmin were sharing the screen, one giving his absolute best to prove what he is capable of after 15 years of constant struggle in the industry, and another not even trying. Someone like Wamiqa Gabbi would have nailed the role of Alamzeb!
More than nepotism, I think the problem is how star driven the industry has become that no big directors are willing to cast an unkown face. It's so tiring to see these 4-5 stars in each and every big project.
You can't blame the industry entirely for that star culture is not a new thing in hindi cinema ... the new actors don't have the charisma like their predecessors acting can give you awards but screen presence and charisma bring box numbers ....plus actors this days are overusing social media
@@raja-jl9os there are few actors in hollywood who are brands like stallone , arnold, harrison ford, Tom cruise , brad pitt but yes this are yester year actors
actresses like ananya and sara really have me frustrated. them treating every project they get as some trial-and-error experiment in the hopes that after some 50th film they will finally find their footing, while these films could have easily been given to actors with some actual talent and they would have proven themselves on the very first try, the privilege is just insane
Not only by giving big budget films, digital releases and setting media narrative but also rigging awards to celebrate their 'talent'... its whole package...

The thing is these nepo actors are living in a bubble. I have seen an interview of Sara recently where the interviewer praised her performance from Ae Watan Mera Watan .The absurd thing is Sara said (specifying some scene from the movie) that the scene was magical and it came from her soul .LOL.Same goes to Archies.
@@shivamsawant5830Shraddha knows how to keep quiet. She never acts clueless like Anannya or arrogant like Sonam Kapoor. That's why people love her. It's like the before internet days. The less we know the stars, the more we like and adore them.
So true! It absolutely enraged me when in an interview Agastya said that he’ll do the film and become a star it’s that easy. They live in such a sheltered life where even if they’re the worst at the craft they are pushed to become an actor and just because of their lineage producers lick their asses
It's evident that nepotism gives repeated opportunities to those who failed numerous times where outsiders get little or no second chance to prove their talent. It's more like a one shot chance for most of them.
They'll say it's their money, they can choose whomever until and unless the public completely rejects these nepo kids. The sad thing is that even slight improvement from a nepo kid is celebrated. Varun dhawan from badlapur, ram charan from rangasthalam, vijay in katthhi, kristen stewart in spencer, pranav mohanlal in hridayam are all examples.

I really felt irritated when I saw the announcement of Dharma productions Sunny Sanskari ki tulsi kumari, where female lead is Janhvi Kapoor and a supporting role is for Sanya Malhotra. Consider all the required attributes for a female lead and Sanya would outscore Janhvi by miles. And yet not considered for a major role. And then when Karan Johar will be criticized for nepotism then he will just start playing the victim card and would bring all absurd logic in justifying all this.

Do you see hollywood movies and series they literally bring up any commoner with distinctive features and make them famous becoz people love the characters they play, the acting and not only looks. At the end of the day i believe it's the indian audience who is ridiculously crazy over looks
We did not know about slb's niece until we watched heeramandi and saw how she stuck out like a sore thumb in terms of performance and looks and we google to check if she was someone related to SLB and bang on she was!
Yes! Thank you for saying she was mediocre not just in her performance but her looks too. Agree that "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" but her entry scene was so anti-climactic. I was like "Duh who is this?"
lmao, tru, these days many nepo products are almost immediately noticeable... Ranbir, alia, Hrithik on the other hand never gave the impression of being incompetent even during their respective debuts. Im usually against generation bashing (as i feel everyone has their own dunderheads) but its undeniable that Ananya Pandey, Janhvi Kapoor, Suhana Khan and so many more come off as unpolished entertainers who should have waited a year or 2 more at least, in prep or training, before making their debuts. Although some like Pandey and Sonakshi Sinha became better subsequently, we as an audience deserve a better class of moviegoing experience. Why should we compromise on our expectations?
Infact the guy who played Tajar was so perfect & mind-blowing. He did a marvelous job in acting & building connect with the audience on contrary Alamzeb acting was a complete turn off. Expressionless
So true. I was confused as to why this bad actor is in a SLB film, especially when he is know to push actresses’ comfort zones for a good acting performance…and then I googled her…smh
Ananya pandey getting praised for her recent film, I mean a slightly good effort and audiance forgot about her previous ventures, not hating her but delivering a decent performance for the only job she has to do after 4-5 flops? Why? That's the problem with Bollywood ecosystem one decent performance with heavily backed PR makes u a future star
@@VeeeBeee so true people saying she did it for the script but dude expression har ladki m hote how can you have same face throughout even if you are shock or sad it feels like you are smiling completely destroyed the chemistry between Taj and alam
The likes of actress like Sara Janhvi and Ananya lives in their own la la land. Like they have given a role defining performance in their films but the reality is they are mediocre at best. But the fact that they don't have to put any sort of hard work to get on with new project allows them to stay in that bubble
What saddens me is that I truly enjoyed the love story between 'Taj & Alam'. However, my fondness mainly stemmed from Taha Shah's dedicated portrayal of Taj🥹. I regret to say that Sharmin Segal's portrayal of Alamzeb fell short, lacking expression and impacting the essence of the love story.
In Heeramandi, Alam's role should have been given to Pratibha Ranta (instead of Shama). I watched only a few episodes but Pratibha's screen presence is awesome. Loved her in Laapataa Ladies.
It's absolutely crazy to me why I haven't ever seen Sanya Malhotra in a lead role despite being talented as hell, good looking and great dancing skills. Yami Goutam is still not considered a leading heroine despite being a good actor in the industry for years. I really miss the the time when outsiders like Priyanka, Kangana, Deepika, Anushka came and totally took over the mainstream commercial movies. What an exciting time it was for cinema with both masala elements and great acting performances. Even starkids like Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor proved themselves to be reliable actors after them. But these batch of new actors seem to go or take us nowhere.
It took 20 years for Cillian Murphy to finally land in a lead role of Nolan's work. its a long way for Richa Chadha to be recognized for her true potential in slb empire.
Wts d point ? Nolan movies and slb movies and characters are polr apart .SlB always makes movie to cater his imagination and targeted audience unlike nolan.

People like Ram Gopal Verma, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Anurag Kashyap are the need of this hour... these people never bent to the rules of the industry. They bent the industry to their own rules.
@@TriedRefusedProductionsI agree, however, RGV has done so much for the industry already and his legacy of filmmaking is immortal. He'll always be a legend.
To be honest Bollywood has plenty of Talented Nepo kids too but even among them their is tiers and favouritism. This where I get jealous of the Nepotism in Malayalam industry, the unworthy ones are cast aside while those who have the talent make their own identity with their hardwork❤ Fahad is a classic example of that🔥
Vineet sreenivasan(Sreenivasan 's son, another nepo kid from Malayalam industry) at the start of this video said the same thing. I think not just the nepo kids even outsiders are getting fair chances in Malayalam industry. Thats another reason why Malayalam cinema lovers don't care much about their origin. Because what actually matters in Malayalam cinema is its story and writers get their deserved attention too. If the story is not good, people won't watch the movie even if its a Mohanlal or Mammootty's movie.
But u can't claim that for every nepo kid... Dulqar is okay not very good but gets movies from every corner... Prithviraj also average but still would support the guy coz he's very hard working.... Indrajith is much better than him.. Pranav is getting movies for god knows what reason... But they will all get huge opportunities... Nepotism is as bad as Bollywood...
Shanaya in the list of future list of actors question in KWK? Like seriously??!!!! The words of Kangana in KWK "snooty bollywood mafia,flag bearer of nepotism" flashes in my mind. No matter what producers or directors think, audience has the power. If audience decides to boycott zero talented nepo kids movies, then ultimately the producers and directors wont have a choice and drop them. If audience decide to support and make real talents shine like cast of "12th fail" then it will happen. Its all about audience to choose quality over mediocrity.
The fact that sometimes starkids like Abhishek Bachchan or Bobby Deol having immense talent did not get that recognition they needed for a long time where other mediocre actors like Imraan khan, Fardeen Khan are getting attention for their comeback out of nowhere.
I absolutely love the works of Sanya Malhotra, loved her since Paggleit but, she's not that much visible because of crappy nepo babies, it frustrates me!
I think this controversy has two sides. Outsiders like manushi, tara sutaria, rashmika.... are getting films after films but still doesn't have a great acting range. Whereas Kriti Sanon, Yami Gautam, bhumi padnekar, tapsee,have made their marks as prominent faces of Indian cinema. This outsiders v/s nepotism debate just does not exist for all. It's more about a person's own struggle and hardwork to get films
that's definitely a part of the individual battle to make it in the industry 100%: this is where PR and perception really becomes so vital in today's environment. Tripti and the attention she got for such a small role in Animal had a lot to do with the post PR mania they caused with Bhabhi 2 whereas her previous performances like Qala and Laila Majnu barely caused any chatter

@@srividhyag.b.738 Mm.. not really. Being a Marathi speaker I understand that you're trying to convey that Hindi is not the only or majority language in India, but bollywood can't be called a regional film industry, since the type of Hindustani used in films (especially newer ones) isn't native to any region in North India because it was specifically created to be understood by a large audience. However films like laapata ladies can be considered regional as they used local dialect.
This is where creators like Ram Gopal Varma,Anurag Kashyap, vikramaditya motwani and recently Sandeep Reddy Vanga needs to be acknowledged as they have given opportunities to many talented outsiders. The number of artists and technicians that Ram Gopal Varma has introduced or supported in their Initial years is unbelievable... Indian film industry needs creators like him now,but sadly he has way past his prime . Maybe a creator like Sandeep Reddy Vanga can continue the legacy of RGV and Anurag Kashyap..

I would like to preface that while RGV gave opportunities to a large number of actors, there were a number of them who were really mediocre undeserving actors and a lot of them who were in alleged/ confirmed affairs with him. I don't think casting couch counts as providing opportunity, rather it's manipulation. Lots of credits to his involvement for giving opportunities to likes of Manoj Bajpaye, Shefali Shah, KayKay Menon and more. But let's not disregard the cases of Nisha Kothari, Antara Mali, Madhu Shalini, Jiah Khan (RIP ) and more.
Please don't include venga ....it's about Hindi filmi industry we are talking about ..venga doesnt launch actors , he launch his own projections through these characters ...both Kabir Singh and ranvijay are projection of venga himself
People celebrating the return of Fardeen Khan and wanting a return of Imran Khan are the same people who rejected them because of their acting skills and they were right for doing so. Then why want a return of those mediocre actors is beyond my understanding.
Same thing goes for bobby deol too. I mean come on, when has bobby deol given a mind-blowing performance? He neither has the versatility of his father dharmendra nor does he have the powerful massive screen presence of his brother sunny deol. Still people are unnecessary celebrating his comeback with mediocre performances and calling him lord bobby and bla bla bla. That's just too much. And then they complain about nepotism.
When a star kid is is talented it’s fine in fact I love it. But when talentless star kids like Sara Ali Khan get opportunities over real talent just because of their family is the worst.
Yes, but the star kid even if they are talented get easy entry... Think of the thousands of people who are struggling and are as talented as the star kid, if not better.
Same in tollywood, but more extreme. mega family heroes are running negative PR campaigns on upcoming heroes and ruining the careers of upcoming heroes like Vijay Devarakonda and others..
Why do everyone keep calling Sharmin Segal 'young'? She is older than me. She is in her 30's. Most actresses prove their mettle when they are in their 20's.
Wow! What a blunt and honest review! It's true to every single word. Waiting for the day when even iota of this gets accepted by the Indian film industry.
I love when people talk about nepotism without realising that some of us are equally complicit in the Sefarish system and caste networks. It’s successful sometimes and sometimes it’s wrong.
the place where caste system and mere business pe baad me beta/ beti baithega differs from film industry is that its a bigger business, and shops that dont run automatically divert the consumer to other shops. but when the head owner of all shops is 5/6 big people they will shove the same products in the shop instead of checking if better products or better salespeople are possible. variation happens when everyone can produce a film, but when talented scriptwriters, big budget funders only support certain people as kinda bankable, then their value increases even if they're not worthy or talented. it creates the illusion that this actor is successful. while talented actors are left aside or work as second leads to worthless trashy actors.
There are always two sides of the coin. What however is the point of the topic is the number of opportunities one receives despite a number of failures is only restricted to the privileged film families

Even when I was a literal child who doesn't understand cinema nuances, I found him extremely bad at acting, especially comparing to other actors of his generation. Even both his brothers Arbaaz and Sohail are better than him (not good actors but better than him)
No one can be a superstar in this industry without talent for 35 years. So don't talk about Salman Khan's talent. You can feel good about 'talent' by watching Naseeruddin Shah/Irrfan Khan movies and certify yourself as a cinema connoisseur. No need to put down other people.
They say Alia and Ranbir are the examples of talent in nepotism.I say give those opportunities to actors like Rajkumar Rao and Richa Chada..How would their perforance would be?
The focus in bollywood is more on image and brand building surrounding actors in film families. It's easier to invest time, energy and money on star kids. It's not about good stories and filmmakers having the freedom to cast right talent anymore. They too are under pressure to cast a well known personality due to association. Movies are vanity projects now and popularity contest between an outsider and someone with connection.
I have stepped in the theater 4 times in last 1.5 years, 2 times for Pathan & Jawaan as my Family is big fan of Sharukh & I still love his screen presence & other 2 times is for 12th fail & Lapata Ladies, I remember booking 9 tickets for my family & my relatives to make them watch 12thFail as they didn't knew who Vikrant Massy was. I did watch Lapata Ladies alone on my self pampering date. Also, I have rooting for Wamiqa Gabbi from the time I have seen Grahan. I hope to see more such cinema.
Yeah it really felt forced like in whole series the courtiers only thinking about thier shahi mehl and herramandi and suddenly how these Lahore queens start thinking about azadi and being patriotic from nowhere.
Did Uday Chopra act in any movies outside of YRF? I don’t think he was stealing anyone’s opportunity… those movies were made for him barring Dhoom Series maybe. He was just wasting his dad and bro’s money and giving other people … like cast and crew work through those movies. If you think about it, he was generating opportunities for others 😅
I really hope that Bollywood wakes up one day and decides to go for talent instead of Star Kids. The only justified star kid in the Heeramandi Series was Sonakshi Sinha. She did justice to her role. She expressed what was needed at that given point. I actually liked how much she has grown from her past projects. Hope we get to see her in more such roles instead of just being Chulbul Pandey's wife.
But it's not just the film industry right, it happens in every aspect of life. If your parents are rich then you have all the opportunities in life. If you fail 4 5 times it doesn't matter you will always have another opportunity waiting for you. But if you are from middle class or below middle class & you get 1 big opportunity but you fail you won't have another opportunity.
I hope thw big production houses and the producers see this video because this is literally the feelings of us the people who love films and spend money and time into it.
Honestly I liked the Heeramandi.. The story was good...Bhansali never takes u to the peaks of emotions like South indian movies, it always have a subtle approach to it. Only thing that ruined it was Alamzeb's performance. Also Richa Chaddha's expression of blushing were so artificial... May be because the relationship of her character was artificial. Regarding the climax... I loved the Climax. The Rally was less for Independence of India, more for thier support to one of thier Daughters. And once they got into that road.. There was no turning back... I believe that's what the voiceover wanted to potray.
Nepotism exists in every industry. It works especially well in the film industry because new actors can be easily marketed to the audience who recognize their famous parents.
I have a sincere request. 8am Metro is finally coming to OTT on Zee 5 from the 10th of may. It had a very small theatrical release last year. It wasn’t reviewed by many people who usually review films, including yourself, so please do try to find the time and review it 🙂. It has Saiyami and me. This is just a request 🙂
Thank you for mentioning Sharmin. I saw her first when I watched Malaal. Seeing her act, I tried figuring out what the issue with the character was. First I wondered whether she was blind. Then thought she had gone through major trauma. I kept expecting a secret to be revealed. It took me a while to fully accept her acting as 'normal' for that character. Meezaan, even though a star kid, made an impact. He was beautiful. Sharmin was such a disappointment, that I actually googled whether she was related to SLB. Only then it made sense why she was there in the first place.
@@IraDongBangTan I just finished Hiramandi. Her screen time and acting is so disappointing. She almost single handedly ruined the show. I can't believe SLB can't see the error of his ways when he sees this finished product.
6:30 this is so true, ananya just gave a decent performance (not so extraordinary) and her pr started framing her as good actress while the reality is that she can only carry a 'sobo girl' character cause thats what she is in real life
It's not the nepotism itself that is an issue. Everyone would want what they have for their children but the problem arises when legit talent is sidelined or never get a chance. Btw how is tiger still working
Family man is the biggest OTT show and if Manoj Bajpai is not getting fees like Shahrukh or Salman is getting for der movie then it is outrageous. Priyamani should also get paid in that proportion too. I read somewhere that Tiger Shroff was paid 20+ crores for Bade Maiya Chhote miyan. I don't know why or how they can be paid like this,
We have the best example of Rajkumar Kohli. He was the best director (although his movies hasn't aged well in recent times) but when he tried to put his son (Armaan Kohli) in his movies His Own career was demolished and His son's career was ruined.
Wakima gabi could have played Alamzeb or any other role in heeramandi.. how expressive her eyes are uff.. i hope actors with non filmy backgrounds get more opportunities and all these nepo kids just get boycotted in near future.. bollywood is doomed otherwise
If a person is talented then even nepotism is not a problem. But the problem is that these opportunities are given to non talented and non serious nepo kids. This is killing the Hindi film industry which we grew up watching and were so proud of.
Bollywood's brand has egregiously declined since the nepotism system took over.. We can consider ourselves lucky to witness the golden era spearheaded by amazing actors like SRK, Akshay,Ayushman, Priyanka, Bipasha and more.. It's getting depressing and frustrating witnessing such catastrophic performances...
It's not about who comes from big families...it's more about who have better connections with big shots, more active on social media apps and good PR..Kriti is getting films after films, whereas Saiyami Kher hardly gets films despite being a nepo kid...same goes for Abhay Deol and Sidharth Malhotra also...
Tamil and Malyalam movie nepotism makes sness they do get chances but if their movies fail twice or thrice in a row (they are done for ) Look at fahad in his first innings (he had 2 failed movies ) and was cast out for seven years but came back with a second innings that he made too much impact ,we are lucky to see this second innings 😍 especially in mollywood we are lucky we have some nepotism
I think we are done with the nepotism debate.We have seen in every walk of life, including politics.Let there not be a victim card, the real talent will shine regardless.
Biggest joke is people like Anupama, Rajeev Masand, Sucharita and you are pushing these mediocre actors of Nepo babies... Biggest problem is these guys are given critical support by Anupama and Sucharita.. 😂😂😂😂😂
This is very important and I am glad you noticed it. The critics themselves do not have any consistency! Sometimes they may praise a great Anurag Kashyap or Sriram Raghavan movie and allot it 3 stars and then they may like a Rohit Shetty movie in which Tata or Toyota SUV's keep somersaulting 100 time and give it a 4 star rating. Essentially praising a totally wooden and expressionless lead pair! I mean, are you movie critics or what? You are the ones who need to have knowledge of the craft and help us, the audience, keep some standards in our minds!
I believe problem is not with creators problem is marketability of an actor or actress. Unknown actor/actress are not simply marketable (according to producers). Having known family connection actor/actress can help you market a movie or series pretty effectively. One starkid can promote another starkids movie/show and that creates word around social media. If it’s not a box office number then producers will show numbers of social media reach to investors in order to get backing for next project until one day actor/actress will get box office return or desired ott watching and cycle will continue. Having social media reach helps them with brand endorsements so they bring back production money before the release. As long as people following celebrities, watching their content, sharing their content, interacting with their content and watching their fims/series it’ll keep on happening.
True! Great movies are there but the fact is not many like heavy movies made by Kashyap or Raghavan! Most prefer to go to the multiplex for weekend entertainment with popcorn and watching something that has a Kapoor/Johar/Bhansali label on it, irrespective of talent! So who are we blaming? We have been traditionally always wanting the fluffy stuff coming out of Chopra/Kapoor stables! Even many years ago, who wanted to watch Shyam Benegal, who went for a Ketan Mehta movie? So who are we blaming now? Popcorn and fluff is what we always wanted to pass the time on a weekend!!
Been following you tangentually for years now, but i think off late I've been enjoying your unfiltered takes on the industry. Thanks and keep going! I hope you never have to mince your words.
If the future of INDIAN CINEMA is Janvi, sara, ananya, suhana and specially shanaya then oh my god this is so sad! Bollywood is going to and should have a downfall if these people are going to be handed the reign of Indian Cinema. It’s diabolical that ananya gives one hit with mediocre acting and she’s praised so much for it. Yes the Producers are to be blamed for this but the biggest culprit is still the Indian Audience who loves to see these so called star kids. Stop buying tickets to their films, stop trending them on Netflix and slowly but surely things will change(well hopefully)🤞🏽
Nepotism exists in every industry in every department 🏬 in India because India is a collectivistic society, not individualistic like North America or Europe
The 1 who comes from a privileged family knows that he or she will get chances because of there families contacts Its only be because there parents can call any director,producer, production house and inform that my child needs work and they get chance after chance Even roshan was given a chance by his father and his father built such a platform that he roshan was chosen over the khans and the people wait for his work Even kumar made a place for himself but as he does not give his 110% in a movie the people have now rejected him . The craft itself makes you a superstar not the backing of your family Privilege will get you more and more work But you will never enjoy the love the affection thay great craftsman will get
I love how with every wave of nepo kid's launch, we start appreciating the older ones. I thought Kriti Sanon was a bad actress until i saw Sara, I thought Ananya was bad until I saw Suhana. And now i feel they're all amazing compared to Sharmin!
Lapata ladies was a breath of fresh air. Was so sick of seeing nepos getting casted in Almost every film

@@ramikaarora51 the problem is not only nepotism but untalented getting undeserving opportunities. Nepotism has always existed for example Ajay Devgan, Kajol, karishma or Kareena.

i literally thought Sharmin was playing a blind girl for few minutes then i realized nah the girl can't act to save her life. No expression, zero dialouge delivery, no command over the dialouge like she was a dead fish. Taha Shah was looking so charming & he captivated the screen everytime he appeared too bad this girl ruined the romance & chemistry that could have been a nice added touch to this show. Tanya Mantikla as Alamzeb would have killed it.
I thought I'm the only one to think so! Atleast you were confused for few minutes but I was literally confused till the end of Episode 1. She barely expressed through her eyes and emoted any emotion.
@@amritaparida5527 it's actually crazy to think all the actors have expressed their emotions through their eyes & there was her 🤦🏾♀️ i was so annoyed & she took so much of screen time. imagine getting a crucial role in SLB productions & giving bullocks.

Arjun Kapoor is such a strange option that bollywood keeps pushing. He has never improved in a decade. He can't emote, can't dance, lacks charisma, doesn't seem very hardworking, doesn't have some distinct looks, the guy barely even cares about his fitness unlike the other nepos. Yet he keeps getting leading man roles and those films keep being flops. The audience has never really connected to him ever and I have never heard anyone say 'I want to really watch that film because Arjun Kapoor is there'. Arjun Kapoor really is a mystery to me. Must be among the worst nepo products bollywood ever churned out because he keeps getting backed by big production houses.
Stars pull more numbers than a random, so it’s a safe bet. Movies are a business after all. Not to mention, their family might be involved in the production costs, so it’s basically upto them. It’s their wish as they are the ones taking the risk.
@Maadhara Bollywood can try to pretend like Arjun Kapoor is a star. He has never shown any star qualities and he isn't some box office pull either. He is a guaranteed loss of investment. I mean he has been in industry since what 12 years now? What exactly does he brings to the table? How is he bankable in any way? I'm thinking this has something to do with money laundering.
@@Pkourmmabd bro, they aren't making movies to please people 😅, they make movies to benefit themselves. Whether people accept or not, that's the way it is. People may hate it, but like I said, they aren't there to prove anything, profit or loss, it's upto them. Yup, the money laundering could also definitely be a reason. So basically expecting them to pick people based on talent is pointless in a industry that's there to make money.
@@Pkourmmabd bollywood was always mediocre industry but pahle logo k pas internet nhi tha isliye bollywood ne sustain kar liya aaj bollywood sustain nhi kar pa raha h

@@ramikaarora51 bollywood acha kab tha 😂
Wamiqa Gubbi in Godha ( Malayalam film) is amazing. She was a ray of sunshine in that movie .
It’s about visibility and PR and Sanya malhotra or outsiders cannot compete with nepo kids on that front. A bland performance also will be written all over by glowing reviews… like jammy does here too! How much mileage was given for ananya’s one decent performance while Sanya malhotra had been given one great performance after another

I wonder where Kangana would be today had she not gone crazy.
She was formidable after Tanu Weds Manu Returns and Queen.. everyone was sure she'd be the next Sridevi/Madhuri of this industry... and then, she lost her marbles or devoted herself to agendas that were of higher importance to her than her career... so sad.

@@roronoauchiha69 Nope, she was great, but she followed a completely different trajectory
@@roronoauchiha69 Naa those were great performance but now Even the auras that those movies provided has been exhausted too and now she is nothing but a delusional yesteryear actress who still hasn't come to terms that her stardom has passed away a long time ago😅
What irritates me is that media is always behind startkids.
Why can't media focus their cover on stories of talents like Richa chada, Mrunal Thakur, Vikrant, Rajkumar.. Media plays crucial role for starkids to have them better reach than real talents.
Usko pr bolte h
Media is not focussing on them because no one is paying them to do so! Starkids have their PR doing everything for them, not every outsider has that. They can afford it at a much later stage of their careers once they get a certain position whereas starkids have that privilege right from day 1.
It's about the Indian audience, they for no reason wants to know about a starkids life. Check the views of the media of actors like Ayushman, Rajkumar Rao and then some random starkid who is not even launched.
It's about money bro
They are paid a hell lot of money probably that's why :)
Sharmin was horrible as Alamzeb, Taha Shah Badussah was carrying their scenes singlehandedly. Ironical how the problem with nepotism was so apparently visible everytime Taha and Sharmin were sharing the screen, one giving his absolute best to prove what he is capable of after 15 years of constant struggle in the industry, and another not even trying. Someone like Wamiqa Gabbi would have nailed the role of Alamzeb!
I too thought the same…she would have nailed it!!
Wamiqa would have been perfect for that role. She was outstanding in Jubilee 👏👏
Sharmin was bad
Wamiqa Gabbi speaks loud with her eyes only!
brooo Shriya Pilgaonkar would have been perfect as well
More than nepotism, I think the problem is how star driven the industry has become that no big directors are willing to cast an unkown face. It's so tiring to see these 4-5 stars in each and every big project.
Hollywood, it’s the brand that’s more emphasized than the actor where as in India, it’s the actor who’s more popular than the brand.
You can't blame the industry entirely for that star culture is not a new thing in hindi cinema ... the new actors don't have the charisma like their predecessors acting can give you awards but screen presence and charisma bring box numbers ....plus actors this days are overusing social media
@@raja-jl9os there are few actors in hollywood who are brands like stallone , arnold, harrison ford, Tom cruise , brad pitt but yes this are yester year actors
@@sayandas3939 but they don't have stardom like indian actor's
@@raja-jl9os ya that I agree
Sara Ali Khan getting so many films despite being an abysmal actor proves that popularity has become more relevant than talent.
She doesn't know even a bit of acting.
What popularity,she cannot even make film open 1 crore, it's just she has enough money for pr so she will become relevant.
Same with her father
actresses like ananya and sara really have me frustrated. them treating every project they get as some trial-and-error experiment in the hopes that after some 50th film they will finally find their footing, while these films could have easily been given to actors with some actual talent and they would have proven themselves on the very first try, the privilege is just insane

@@shivamsawant5830Shraddha knows how to keep quiet. She never acts clueless like Anannya or arrogant like Sonam Kapoor. That's why people love her. It's like the before internet days. The less we know the stars, the more we like and adore them.
So true! It absolutely enraged me when in an interview Agastya said that he’ll do the film and become a star it’s that easy. They live in such a sheltered life where even if they’re the worst at the craft they are pushed to become an actor and just because of their lineage producers lick their asses
It's evident that nepotism gives repeated opportunities to those who failed numerous times where outsiders get little or no second chance to prove their talent. It's more like a one shot chance for most of them.
the pressure to deliver is far more debilitating and career deciding for outsiders.
Even when that one shot hits the bullseye, there is no guarantee that they will get another big leagues movie.
It's very sad but true. However I believe that talent of the stature that some of the new comers are showing will shine through
They'll say it's their money, they can choose whomever until and unless the public completely rejects these nepo kids. The sad thing is that even slight improvement from a nepo kid is celebrated. Varun dhawan from badlapur, ram charan from rangasthalam, vijay in katthhi, kristen stewart in spencer, pranav mohanlal in hridayam are all examples.
@@vedsharma3496 yes i think it's easier for a star kid to debut but what transits after is main .. for eg both tushar kapoor and hrithik had successful debuts but hrithik survived and tushar failed same for imran khan and rk ... rk actually had a flop debut while imraan had a super hit movie now look where imran and where rk is
In my opinion Tripti Dimri or Mrunal Thakur would have been perfect for Alamzeb role...❤
Sanya or Wamiqa in my opinion. But your choices are good too
My choice is Tripti Dimri or Wamika Gabbi. But if SLB wanted a lookalike of his niece - even Shriya Pilgaonkar could have been chosen
I don't think so. The role needed someone younger. It would've been better if they had cast someone new and unknown.
Wamiqa for sure she is gorgeous and talented
Wamiqa or Mrunal for me, would have been perfect

I really felt irritated when I saw the announcement of Dharma productions Sunny Sanskari ki tulsi kumari, where female lead is Janhvi Kapoor and a supporting role is for Sanya Malhotra. Consider all the required attributes for a female lead and Sanya would outscore Janhvi by miles. And yet not considered for a major role. And then when Karan Johar will be criticized for nepotism then he will just start playing the victim card and would bring all absurd logic in justifying all this.

We did not know about slb's niece until we watched heeramandi and saw how she stuck out like a sore thumb in terms of performance and looks and we google to check if she was someone related to SLB and bang on she was!
She was pretty mediocre in her film Malaal too. Meezan Jaffrey, another nepo product however was quite good
Yes! Thank you for saying she was mediocre not just in her performance but her looks too. Agree that "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" but her entry scene was so anti-climactic. I was like "Duh who is this?"
lmao, tru, these days many nepo products are almost immediately noticeable... Ranbir, alia, Hrithik on the other hand never gave the impression of being incompetent even during their respective debuts. Im usually against generation bashing (as i feel everyone has their own dunderheads) but its undeniable that Ananya Pandey, Janhvi Kapoor, Suhana Khan and so many more come off as unpolished entertainers who should have waited a year or 2 more at least, in prep or training, before making their debuts. Although some like Pandey and Sonakshi Sinha became better subsequently, we as an audience deserve a better class of moviegoing experience. Why should we compromise on our expectations?
Infact the guy who played Tajar was so perfect & mind-blowing. He did a marvelous job in acting & building connect with the audience on contrary Alamzeb acting was a complete turn off. Expressionless
So true. I was confused as to why this bad actor is in a SLB film, especially when he is know to push actresses’ comfort zones for a good acting performance…and then I googled her…smh
Ananya pandey getting praised for her recent film, I mean a slightly good effort and audiance forgot about her previous ventures, not hating her but delivering a decent performance for the only job she has to do after 4-5 flops? Why? That's the problem with Bollywood ecosystem one decent performance with heavily backed PR makes u a future star

The likes of actress like Sara Janhvi and Ananya lives in their own la la land. Like they have given a role defining performance in their films but the reality is they are mediocre at best. But the fact that they don't have to put any sort of hard work to get on with new project allows them to stay in that bubble
And they gets cannes and met gala and face of big brands. Acting is just side hussle for them. Like Dhoni.
Omg!!!! Sharmin Sehgal is SLB’s niece???? I was wondering how did this girl with no acting talent got cast in SLB’s Heeramandi. Now I understand
She isn’t even pretty
Same here!
I was saying that 1000% she's from his family when I saw her performance
What saddens me is that I truly enjoyed the love story between 'Taj & Alam'. However, my fondness mainly stemmed from Taha Shah's dedicated portrayal of Taj🥹. I regret to say that Sharmin Segal's portrayal of Alamzeb fell short, lacking expression and impacting the essence of the love story.
Taaha was good
Puri series m her expression was 🙂🙂
In Heeramandi, Alam's role should have been given to Pratibha Ranta (instead of Shama). I watched only a few episodes but Pratibha's screen presence is awesome. Loved her in Laapataa Ladies.
It's absolutely crazy to me why I haven't ever seen Sanya Malhotra in a lead role despite being talented as hell, good looking and great dancing skills. Yami Goutam is still not considered a leading heroine despite being a good actor in the industry for years. I really miss the the time when outsiders like Priyanka, Kangana, Deepika, Anushka came and totally took over the mainstream commercial movies. What an exciting time it was for cinema with both masala elements and great acting performances. Even starkids like Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor proved themselves to be reliable actors after them. But these batch of new actors seem to go or take us nowhere.

To be honest Bollywood has plenty of Talented Nepo kids too but even among them their is tiers and favouritism. This where I get jealous of the Nepotism in Malayalam industry, the unworthy ones are cast aside while those who have the talent make their own identity with their hardwork❤ Fahad is a classic example of that🔥
Vineet sreenivasan(Sreenivasan 's son, another nepo kid from Malayalam industry) at the start of this video said the same thing. I think not just the nepo kids even outsiders are getting fair chances in Malayalam industry. Thats another reason why Malayalam cinema lovers don't care much about their origin. Because what actually matters in Malayalam cinema is its story and writers get their deserved attention too. If the story is not good, people won't watch the movie even if its a Mohanlal or Mammootty's movie.
But u can't claim that for every nepo kid...
Dulqar is okay not very good but gets movies from every corner...
Prithviraj also average but still would support the guy coz he's very hard working.... Indrajith is much better than him..

If audience decide to support and make real talents shine like cast of "12th fail" then it will happen. Its all about audience to choose quality over mediocrity.

I absolutely love the works of Sanya Malhotra, loved her since Paggleit but, she's not that much visible because of crappy nepo babies, it frustrates me!
I think this controversy has two sides. Outsiders like manushi, tara sutaria, rashmika.... are getting films after films but still doesn't have a great acting range. Whereas Kriti Sanon, Yami Gautam, bhumi padnekar, tapsee,have made their marks as prominent faces of Indian cinema. This outsiders v/s nepotism debate just does not exist for all. It's more about a person's own struggle and hardwork to get films
that's definitely a part of the individual battle to make it in the industry 100%: this is where PR and perception really becomes so vital in today's environment. Tripti and the attention she got for such a small role in Animal had a lot to do with the post PR mania they caused with Bhabhi 2 whereas her previous performances like Qala and Laila Majnu barely caused any chatter

@@srividhyag.b.738 Mm.. not really. Being a Marathi speaker I understand that you're trying to convey that Hindi is not the only or majority language in India, but bollywood can't be called a regional film industry, since the type of Hindustani used in films (especially newer ones) isn't native to any region in North India because it was specifically created to be understood by a large audience. However films like laapata ladies can be considered regional as they used local dialect.

I just dont have watch arjun kapoor, tiger, ananya, jhanvi, sara, archies cast movies. Cant tolerate their so called "acting".
The bigger problem is not even acknowledging that a film featuring a nepo-kid flopped. Looking at you, Ganpath, BMCM, Sara and Ananya films.
But problem is they will still get movies
This is where creators like Ram Gopal Varma,Anurag Kashyap, vikramaditya motwani and recently Sandeep Reddy Vanga needs to be acknowledged as they have given opportunities to many talented outsiders.
The number of artists and technicians that Ram Gopal Varma has introduced or supported in their Initial years is unbelievable... Indian film industry needs creators like him now,but sadly he has way past his prime . Maybe a creator like Sandeep Reddy Vanga can continue the legacy of RGV and Anurag Kashyap..
Sandeep reddy vanga last two movies had main leads of actors who are star kids also he wanted to cast Arjun Kapoor as Kabir Singh
I would not use him as an example buddy
@@AKking27 I am talking about his Telugu movie in which Vijay devarakonda became a huge star, Rahul Ramakrishna is one of the leading character artist and comic actor, Harshwardhan Rameshwar who gave bgm for Arjun Reddy and Animal..He is one of those directors who breaks existing rules that's what I admire about him
@@riyazg958 by this logic only Aamir khan deserves appreciation….recently laapata ladies with all fresh faces….shahid kiara ranbir all r nepokids infact pareeniti was initially given the role in animal…she is also a nepokid
I would like to preface that while RGV gave opportunities to a large number of actors, there were a number of them who were really mediocre undeserving actors and a lot of them who were in alleged/ confirmed affairs with him. I don't think casting couch counts as providing opportunity, rather it's manipulation.
Lots of credits to his involvement for giving opportunities to likes of Manoj Bajpaye, Shefali Shah, KayKay Menon and more. But let's not disregard the cases of Nisha Kothari, Antara Mali, Madhu Shalini, Jiah Khan (RIP ) and more.
Please don't include venga ....it's about Hindi filmi industry we are talking about ..venga doesnt launch actors , he launch his own projections through these characters ...both Kabir Singh and ranvijay are projection of venga himself
People celebrating the return of Fardeen Khan and wanting a return of Imran Khan are the same people who rejected them because of their acting skills and they were right for doing so. Then why want a return of those mediocre actors is beyond my understanding.
Same thing goes for bobby deol too. I mean come on, when has bobby deol given a mind-blowing performance? He neither has the versatility of his father dharmendra nor does he have the powerful massive screen presence of his brother sunny deol. Still people are unnecessary celebrating his comeback with mediocre performances and calling him lord bobby and bla bla bla. That's just too much. And then they complain about nepotism.
i newer like fardeen khan actng
When a star kid is is talented it’s fine in fact I love it. But when talentless star kids like Sara Ali Khan get opportunities over real talent just because of their family is the worst.
Yes, but the star kid even if they are talented get easy entry... Think of the thousands of people who are struggling and are as talented as the star kid, if not better.
Yes but I don't mind if the star kid gets it easy if they are talented but yeah I completely agree
Same in tollywood, but more extreme. mega family heroes are running negative PR campaigns on upcoming heroes and ruining the careers of upcoming heroes like Vijay Devarakonda and others..
Watch and hear what THE Devearakonda says in the interview. F**king stupid things.
Correct
Ram Charan is good actor.
Why do everyone keep calling Sharmin Segal 'young'? She is older than me. She is in her 30's. Most actresses prove their mettle when they are in their 20's.
Wow! What a blunt and honest review! It's true to every single word. Waiting for the day when even iota of this gets accepted by the Indian film industry.
I love when people talk about nepotism without realising that some of us are equally complicit in the Sefarish system and caste networks.
It’s successful sometimes and sometimes it’s wrong.
the place where caste system and mere business pe baad me beta/ beti baithega differs from film industry is that its a bigger business, and shops that dont run automatically divert the consumer to other shops. but when the head owner of all shops is 5/6 big people they will shove the same products in the shop instead of checking if better products or better salespeople are possible. variation happens when everyone can produce a film, but when talented scriptwriters, big budget funders only support certain people as kinda bankable, then their value increases even if they're not worthy or talented. it creates the illusion that this actor is successful. while talented actors are left aside or work as second leads to worthless trashy actors.
Nepotism produced some of the greatest actors of bollywood like Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan and produced some of the worsts as well
There are always two sides of the coin. What however is the point of the topic is the number of opportunities one receives despite a number of failures is only restricted to the privileged film families
@@TriedRefusedProductions exactly with likes of Arjun kapoor ,Sonam Kapoor and currently we can say about Sara Ali Khan though she is a women of golden heart....

Nepotism product with talent: Ranbir kapoor, Hrithik, shahid

Thank you so much for acknowledging Salman as mediocre, I thought I was alone in that. Even when I was a literal child who doesn't understand cinema nuances, I found him extremely bad at acting, especially comparing to other actors of his generation. Even both his brothers Arbaaz and Sohail are better than him (not good actors but better than him)
ok
No one can be a superstar in this industry without talent for 35 years. So don't talk about Salman Khan's talent. You can feel good about 'talent' by watching Naseeruddin Shah/Irrfan Khan movies and certify yourself as a cinema connoisseur. No need to put down other people.
I have to agree with you here, Salmans acting may not appeal to everyone but his screen presence is unmatched. @@AnkitGupta-u1n

They say Alia and Ranbir are the examples of talent in nepotism.I say give those opportunities to actors like Rajkumar Rao and Richa Chada..How would their perforance would be?
The focus in bollywood is more on image and brand building surrounding actors in film families. It's easier to invest time, energy and money on star kids. It's not about good stories and filmmakers having the freedom to cast right talent anymore. They too are under pressure to cast a well known personality due to association. Movies are vanity projects now and popularity contest between an outsider and someone with connection.
I feel bad for Sanya malhotra, she has so much potential.
I have stepped in the theater 4 times in last 1.5 years, 2 times for Pathan & Jawaan as my Family is big fan of Sharukh & I still love his screen presence & other 2 times is for 12th fail & Lapata Ladies, I remember booking 9 tickets for my family & my relatives to make them watch 12thFail as they didn't knew who Vikrant Massy was. I did watch Lapata Ladies alone on my self pampering date. Also, I have rooting for Wamiqa Gabbi from the time I have seen Grahan. I hope to see more such cinema.
Don’t compare srk to the new generation

This video is gold And this is what I was telling my friends when they told me about ananya in kho gaye hum kaha movie. Thanks jammy for this video!
But bollywood to hamesa se aisa hi aisa tha 🤣
Sanya Malhotra is such an underrated actress. She should get more opportunities.
Did Uday Chopra act in any movies outside of YRF? I don’t think he was stealing anyone’s opportunity… those movies were made for him barring Dhoom Series maybe. He was just wasting his dad and bro’s money and giving other people … like cast and crew work through those movies. If you think about it, he was generating opportunities for others 😅
just 2 movies called supari & charas
I really hope that Bollywood wakes up one day and decides to go for talent instead of Star Kids. The only justified star kid in the Heeramandi Series was Sonakshi Sinha. She did justice to her role. She expressed what was needed at that given point. I actually liked how much she has grown from her past projects. Hope we get to see her in more such roles instead of just being Chulbul Pandey's wife.
But it's not just the film industry right, it happens in every aspect of life. If your parents are rich then you have all the opportunities in life. If you fail 4 5 times it doesn't matter you will always have another opportunity waiting for you. But if you are from middle class or below middle class & you get 1 big opportunity but you fail you won't have another opportunity.
But bollywood dont know how to make decent movies
I hope thw big production houses and the producers see this video because this is literally the feelings of us the people who love films and spend money and time into it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 100 saal m inko itna dimag nhi aya
Honestly I liked the Heeramandi.. The story was good...Bhansali never takes u to the peaks of emotions like South indian movies, it always have a subtle approach to it.
Only thing that ruined it was Alamzeb's performance. Also Richa Chaddha's expression of blushing were so artificial... May be because the relationship of her character was artificial.
Regarding the climax... I loved the Climax. The Rally was less for Independence of India, more for thier support to one of thier Daughters. And once they got into that road.. There was no turning back... I believe that's what the voiceover wanted to potray.
Sanya Malhotra will now play the second lead where Jahnvi Kapoor is the lead.. just wow!!!
Nepotism exists in every industry. It works especially well in the film industry because new actors can be easily marketed to the audience who recognize their famous parents.
How does it happen that we frown upon nepotism in entertainment & film industries but not in our national politics??? 🤷🏻♀️
6:15 isn’t it our fault too? We give them so much buzz without any work. See how many followers khushi kapoor or Ibrahim Ali khan have.
I have a sincere request. 8am Metro is finally coming to OTT on Zee 5 from the 10th of may. It had a very small theatrical release last year. It wasn’t reviewed by many people who usually review films, including yourself, so please do try to find the time and review it 🙂. It has Saiyami and me. This is just a request 🙂
Thank you for mentioning Sharmin. I saw her first when I watched Malaal. Seeing her act, I tried figuring out what the issue with the character was. First I wondered whether she was blind. Then thought she had gone through major trauma. I kept expecting a secret to be revealed. It took me a while to fully accept her acting as 'normal' for that character. Meezaan, even though a star kid, made an impact. He was beautiful. Sharmin was such a disappointment, that I actually googled whether she was related to SLB. Only then it made sense why she was there in the first place.
Even as Alamzeb, I suspected she was blind despite her love for poetry and books 😶🌫️ the problem lies with her acting, inability to emote.
@@IraDongBangTan I just finished Hiramandi. Her screen time and acting is so disappointing. She almost single handedly ruined the show. I can't believe SLB can't see the error of his ways when he sees this finished product.
6:30 this is so true, ananya just gave a decent performance (not so extraordinary) and her pr started framing her as good actress while the reality is that she can only carry a 'sobo girl' character cause thats what she is in real life
It's not the nepotism itself that is an issue. Everyone would want what they have for their children but the problem arises when legit talent is sidelined or never get a chance. Btw how is tiger still working
Family man is the biggest OTT show and if Manoj Bajpai is not getting fees like Shahrukh or Salman is getting for der movie then it is outrageous.
Priyamani should also get paid in that proportion too.
I read somewhere that Tiger Shroff was paid 20+ crores for Bade Maiya Chhote miyan. I don't know why or how they can be paid like this,
Let's be honest family men kisi ko ganta pata nhi h only gow is famous
We have the best example of Rajkumar Kohli. He was the best director (although his movies hasn't aged well in recent times) but when he tried to put his son (Armaan Kohli) in his movies His Own career was demolished and His son's career was ruined.
Armaan Kohli is known mostly as the villain in Jaani Dushman 😂😂
Wakima gabi could have played Alamzeb or any other role in heeramandi.. how expressive her eyes are uff.. i hope actors with non filmy backgrounds get more opportunities and all these nepo kids just get boycotted in near future.. bollywood is doomed otherwise
If a person is talented then even nepotism is not a problem. But the problem is that these opportunities are given to non talented and non serious nepo kids. This is killing the Hindi film industry which we grew up watching and were so proud of.
Patal lok ka director to bol raha tha 90s cinema pura garbage tha 😂
Bollywood's brand has egregiously declined since the nepotism system took over.. We can consider ourselves lucky to witness the golden era spearheaded by amazing actors like SRK, Akshay,Ayushman, Priyanka, Bipasha and more.. It's getting depressing and frustrating witnessing such catastrophic performances...
It's not about who comes from big families...it's more about who have better connections with big shots, more active on social media apps and good PR..Kriti is getting films after films, whereas Saiyami Kher hardly gets films despite being a nepo kid...same goes for Abhay Deol and Sidharth Malhotra also...
Abhay deol don't interest in larger than life movies

This is very important and I am glad you noticed it. The critics themselves do not have any consistency! Sometimes they may praise a great Anurag Kashyap or Sriram Raghavan movie and allot it 3 stars and then they may like a Rohit Shetty movie in which Tata or Toyota SUV's keep somersaulting 100 time and give it a 4 star rating. Essentially praising a totally wooden and expressionless lead pair! I mean, are you movie critics or what? You are the ones who need to have knowledge of the craft and help us, the audience, keep some standards in our minds!
I believe problem is not with creators problem is marketability of an actor or actress. Unknown actor/actress are not simply marketable (according to producers). Having known family connection actor/actress can help you market a movie or series pretty effectively. One starkid can promote another starkids movie/show and that creates word around social media. If it’s not a box office number then producers will show numbers of social media reach to investors in order to get backing for next project until one day actor/actress will get box office return or desired ott watching and cycle will continue. Having social media reach helps them with brand endorsements so they bring back production money before the release. As long as people following celebrities, watching their content, sharing their content, interacting with their content and watching their fims/series it’ll keep on happening.
Don't blame them,the problem is us not them .We take them more seriously than the talented artist.Good movies don't make money in India
True! Great movies are there but the fact is not many like heavy movies made by Kashyap or Raghavan! Most prefer to go to the multiplex for weekend entertainment with popcorn and watching something that has a Kapoor/Johar/Bhansali label on it, irrespective of talent! So who are we blaming? We have been traditionally always wanting the fluffy stuff coming out of Chopra/Kapoor stables! Even many years ago, who wanted to watch Shyam Benegal, who went for a Ketan Mehta movie? So who are we blaming now? Popcorn and fluff is what we always wanted to pass the time on a weekend!!
Been following you tangentually for years now, but i think off late I've been enjoying your unfiltered takes on the industry. Thanks and keep going! I hope you never have to mince your words.
The number of projects jahnvi kapoor is has done and still doing is still a shock for me.
If the future of INDIAN CINEMA is Janvi, sara, ananya, suhana and specially shanaya then oh my god this is so sad! Bollywood is going to and should have a downfall if these people are going to be handed the reign of Indian Cinema.
It’s diabolical that ananya gives one hit with mediocre acting and she’s praised so much for it.
Yes the Producers are to be blamed for this but the biggest culprit is still the Indian Audience who loves to see these so called star kids. Stop buying tickets to their films, stop trending them on Netflix and slowly but surely things will change(well hopefully)🤞🏽
