How difficult it is to understand that the debate is “how to make the process more democratic” not about “if it is right or wrong for parents to help out their kids”. Even though Doctor’s kid might be inclined to become a Doctor, there inclination is not enough they would have to go through an examination, is it same for actors I doubt it.

[@Balakrishna-jj1fp]

But doctors kids have more support from their parents in terms of better schooling, facilities, training, healthy food and subject knowledge. So they have more chances of passing the entrance exam.. I know many doctors kids who failed in the main entrance exam and still managed to become doctors by paying lakhs of rupees to buy a doctor seat under management quota. (in private medical colleges)

There's a BIG difference between INHERITING a film because of your parent and writing the exam, qualifying and proving yourself based on merit. You CANNOT just compare the two. They have it easier. Noone needs to be bitter about this. But the truth remains the same.

One can always find Funding, Script - and cast themselves in the film. Similar to how entrepreneurs in start-up world work on their business idea and find investors. Right?

[@taraacharya1510]

Being able to take an exam and doing well is not solely merit. Having access to quality education, exposure, coaching, access to study space is also a product of privilege. Talent and merit don't exist outside social barriers either.

How can you compare a doctor's profession with that of acting? I expected a more logical reasoning from such intelligent and amazing actors. You need to pass the entrance exam and work hard for a minimum of five years just to get an MBBS degree. And then there are other degrees as well. And here the starkids don't even have to audition for their first film. They get huge amounts of money without even having to audition. And they keep getting movies irrespective of their how good or bad they act. Example- Sara Ali Khan, Bobby Deol, Abhishek Bachchan, Tiger Shroff, Aditya Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor etc etc

[@subhranilsinha8412]

They didn't compare. They just said that in both cases you inherit the interests to be in the particular field.

Why are you just targeting one industry?

[@neilrussell6714]

Both are exceptional actors but what do majority of audiences only care to see- Ranbir/Ranveer, Alia/Deepika. Unlike “outsiders” like Ranveer singh, Pratik Gandhi toiled for 15 years and he only just got a web series now! What a brilliant talent and actor. Dharma and YRF better knock at his door soon. They need desperate hits and a capable actor to do it. Let’s make Pratik a superstar. Jaideep is already one in all of our hearts

[@javijavi33]

John Boyega, a very talented British black actor, called out Lucas Films & J. J. Abrams for how they treated Black & Asian actors in Star Wars, that's called confidence. Because Boyega knows he has much to lose after taking such a stand. Not like this guy sucking up to insiders to get more work & make things easier for himself.

[@ananyaa6664]

Well, only few people such as Alia Bhatt were subjected to unfair, useless criticism by propaganda machine. While I won't ever support bullying and abusing, I genuinely think that some the the criticisms have actually done good to the industry. In fact I believe an insider who really loves the craft and wants to improve their skill would not be offended by some of the criticisms. People like Ishaan Khattar, and Shahid Kapoor who have proved their love and real dedication for the craft through their performance have to be appreciated. I personally feel Jahnvi Kapoor is going to improve. Its shouldn't be about hating actors just because they are insiders. However, the sheer arrogance and illiteracy shown by few "privileged" celebrities who go on to equate their struggles with those of "outsiders" while getting film after film in spite of not so great (sometimes very bad) acting is just not acceptable.

In bollywood, many star kids getting work in industry without any qualification or talent whereas a child of IAS will have to clear the exam, interview and undergo training to become an IAS. Dreaming about following father's job and clearing the exam to get that job are two entirely different things.

[@shashidhar7476]

Bro, nepotism is a part of our society any parent will do whatever they can to help their children, and in films if one has to produce a film to benefit their child he will do that, or if one has to request a producer to make a film with his child he will do that. If one is preparing for IAS, wealthy parents will join his child in the best institute by paying lakhs of rupees, because that's the best they can do in this case. If one wants to join his child in a very good university he will even pay lakhs of rupees for management quota to get him joined there. This is how it works here bro.

[@shashankethane]

Stop comparing Star kids and doctors or engineers

[@poojarai6183]

Problem is not with parents doing something for their kids . Problem is when an outsider is considered or given an opportunity and then opportunity is snatched away because someone you know wants that opportunity for their kid. The role may be better suited for outsider but they wont be cast just because an insider has expressed interest.

[@subhranilsinha8412]

Many insiders have lost roles to other actors as well. Shraddha Kapoor lost her role to another actress (which I don't remember who it was) in Street Dancer 3. However due to some date issues, the role came back to her. So it's not just an insider outsider thing.

[@poojarai6183]

@@subhranilsinha8412 Chances of Shraddha getting another opportunity is high. We cannot say the same for Outsiders. What happened to Shraddha is unfortunate but she has a good support system to back it up. An outsider may be best suited for a role and if they lose it because there was pressure to cast an insider, the struggle to back it up is more.

[@shashidhar7476]

What is wrong if somebody recommends his/her child to a producer, any person will try to help his children first and then think about others.

[@poojarai6183]

@@shashidhar7476 The problem is when someone else is cast for that role and then removed just because your child needs that spot. Why would you take away that person's effort and give it because you know that person? It's like a college seat -one comes from merit and another because of influence, if the principal prefers influence, it's unfair to that person who has studied hard and reached there. Also, Should the producer not think about the movie becoming successful because of a good actor, earning the goodwill of people for giving an opportunity to someone, not from the industry, or should the producer think about obliging to a request?

[@shashidhar7476]

@@poojarai6183 if I have a company and one of my friend is looking for a job and he is capable of doing the job as well. Will I just give him the job or Will I think that oh! there are so many people applying for the same job am I doing injustice to them. It's not my job to think about everyone right, so instead of giving the job to some unknown person I will give it to a friend of mine who is very much capable of doing the job, and also interested in doing the job. You can call it nepotism, favouritism or anything but it happens everywhere in the society not just in film industry. In colleges there is something called as management quota where you can buy a seat legally without having proper score in entrance exam, so it is not always about merit sometimes money also plays a role, and in my previous example contacts played a role.
