'Someone wants to become Alia Bhatt...', Jaideep Ahlawat defends star kids

Nepotism has been made famous by Kangana Ranaut. Kangana, who appeared on Karan Johar's famous chat show 'Koffee with Karan', accused the show's host of being the flag bearer of nepotism. That video of Kangana went viral and due to this video, an open debate started in the industry about nepotism. Recently, 'Paatal Lok' actor Jaideep Ahlawat has also talked about this.

Jaideep Ahlawat, who won the hearts of the audience with series like 'Gangs of Wasseypur', 'Paatal Lok', is known for his talent. Jaideep, who recently shared the screen with Kareena Kapoor, has achieved this level of success in the industry on the basis of his talent. In an interview given to Miss Malini, Jaideep talked about the issue of nepotism. He said, "I never thought that Ranbir Kapoor will take my role, or Varun Dhawan will snatch my role and Ranbir Kapoor is Ranbir Kapoor. If someone thinks that he is here because he is a star kid, then do not live in this illusion. Even if he came from outside, he would have become a star."

Further Jaideep Ahlawat said that – I am not joking. I really believe this. Be it Ranbir Kapoor, Varun Dhawan or anyone else, they are someone's son, who has worked hard in this field for the last 20-25 years. Should I do my work without struggling like them? I did not come here to become Ranbir Kapoor anyway. If any girl is coming here to become Alia Bhatt, then that is wrong. I am not the second Ranbir Kapoor, I am the first Jaideep Ahlawat, and it is important for everyone to understand this. Otherwise Irrfan sahab would not have become Manoj Bajpayee.

nepotism is not wrong

Expressing his opinion on the issue of nepotism, Jaideep Ahlawat further said that accept the fact that the person in front of you is a part of the family which is considered the first family of cinema. When we were playing marbles, they used to talk about films. If after 10 years, a member of my family wants to come into this industry, will that also be called nepotism? We have to achieve our position here ourselves. We cannot blame others for our failure.
