Real waste of Talent, Creativity, Opportunity, Diversity and what not. I can Tell a million faults with Nepotism. Just imagine if the same story would have been played by new star it could have been a game changer. Let me give a simple examples : Just compare if Rahul would have been our Prime Minister would you be seeing similar reforms in Politics and Economy ? It does take some time to adjust with new people but what Zoya did is disgusting. Now I don't to watch Stupid Zoya movies. Crazy women. I really dislike those people who takes easy way out take : Gay Karan Johar

Im glad nepotism is well understood these days. A decade back, the value of individuals was determined by their lineage, bank balance, parent's profession and social status. People were literally worshipped for their lineage. It's refreshing to finally see this conversation happening at this scale.

[@Seevawonderloaf]

Still happens. Under capitalism, people's children get to head their companies and accumulate wealth. Ambani is a classic example of nepotism.

[@15diptisharma]

In Bollywood its a lot more evident. People like Mahesh Bhatt engage most aspiring women into sex trade and drug rackets while their own less-than-talented daughters get chances after chances to perfect their craft. I think Indian viewers should make the effort to give deserving kids a chance. If we have now recognized the Gandhi family's nepotism, why not recognize the Bhatts and Kapoors and Johars make billions off of Indian viewers while feeding them absolute garbage.

[@11farzad11]

There is a big difference between Hollywood and Bollywood when it comes to nepotism. In Hollywood, star kids go under radar when they first enter the industry. Usually starting on small roles and many times you wouldn't know those actors are related to a famous parent until you dig deep into it. In bollywood star kids get the lead roles from get go and there nepotism aspect is used extensively to sell the movie.

[@wanderlust1334]

No they do know but thing is, even if u r a star kid you HAVE to give ACTUAL auditions n be selected through the screen tests unlike bolly star kids for whom, audition is just a formality. And in Hollywood u thrive in the limelight purely based on ur talent in films unlike bolly where ppl like sonam,janhvi,khushi,ananya survive in the industry with some money

[@Finnola]

​@wanderlust1334 Bollywood nepo kids are much more famous and given more opportunities than hollywood nepo kids. Hollywood nepo kids actually have to struggle and don't have the longevity. When there is a Drew Barrymore, Kate Hudson and angelina jolie there are outsiders like Sandra bullock, Cameron Diaz and reese witherspoon. The later actresses blew nepo kids out the park in box office success, roles and movies more likely to have an impact are given to them. This cannot be the case in bollywood where there is no competition that outsiders can give to nepo kids.

Charlie Chaplin was not a nepo kid. His parents were small time artists in vaudeville theatre. They separated when he was a toddler and his mom went insane when he was barely 7 and he hardly attended school. He literally grew up on the streets and landed a part in a play along with his elder brother when he was 11. He struggled very very hard and rose only because of his talent and genius. Those in the above film are certainly nepo kids as they’ve landed a part in the film only bec of their parents

In today’s Bollywood, nepotism wins. I’ve just seen the archies which didn’t do anything for me but the two guys who stood out for me are Vedang Raina and Mihir Ahuja. They are the ones to watch out for. But I doubt if they’ll get their due. Vedang is definitely the Hindi movie “hero” material. He’s smart, sassy and has the swag.

When I finished high school my father made me work with the "pick and shovel" gang in one of his companies. This was for a full month, which was to be extended for another month if I was not equal or better than the other members of the team. This practice was carried out for all the other positions in the company, like operating each machine or such as bricklaying. This was appreciated by all employees, seeing that the son was not given special treatment. After university, this experience was useful in all my employment, having learned the "value of all work". My father had done the same when he first started working. In Italy we also find something as bad, which is the "recommendation" of a progeny or a friend, meaning that the position is given to someone unknown purely based on friendship or political affiliation.

[@AnkanBarai]

I do not think Nepotism is actually the problem. Almost every successful person wants their children to follow their path and they think it is much more secure than starting something new. It is always easy for someone belonging to such a family to start early in the industry. Actors like Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, Ranbir Kapoor, Sahid Kapoor, Dulquer Salmaan and many more have given quality performances throughout their careers. I think the problem lies in the part where parents underestimate their potential in other things or do not invest more time and effort in the training before launching them. If the father or the mother is, or are good actors it is not necessary for their children to become like them. Being passionate about the work is what matters the most and it should never be for the wealth.

Dear Palki Sharma, I would like to propose You a good Speech about the "League of Indo-Arian Languages/Sanscrit Speaking Nations" India (Great Bharat), Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kurdistan, Abhasia, Osetia, Israel (as in the future will be one of the Indo-Arian Languages Speaking Nations)

Knowledge and human network with smart work wins. .

[@thecutestcriminal]

Hi Palki, How could you leave out he biggest center of nepotism, our judiciary. Most of the judges of supreme court are relatives of past judges. Our CJI is also son of past CJI.

[@ajaypalsinghbhati693]

She's very practical 🔥

[@larslee5341]

Nepotism usually wins because talent will get buried and run off

[@sudhakarnatarajan6388]

Case 1:- An 80 year old father has a small grocery store ( kirana shop). Question :- Will he hand over the shop to his 45 year old son, who was his assistant for 20 years, or will he give the entire business to his neighbour’s son ? Case 2:- A soldier is disabled during an IED blast. Question:- Will his son apply for “compassionate appointment vacancy” or another person’s son apply for this specific vacancy? Case 3:- A carpenter in a construction firm is to retire. Question:- Will the company accept his request to give the job to his son who was under his apprenticeship? If an actor or director uses his “own money” to launch his son, niece or nephew, what is your problem ? Think. Think hard. Stop cribbing. Start working. If your father left you no legacy and you have to start from a scratch , then work harder to LEAVE A LEGACY FOR YOUR FUTURE NEPO KID SON OR DAUGHTER.

[@proud_bhartiya.]

I guess our problem is that we support such people having no real talent on the other hand talented people don't get that opportunity in this industry.

[@lenzalafonso9508]

I believe one has to work hard for himself/herself. When it comes to kids, one should be able to provide them good university education or provide them accommodation at least whole they save up for thier first property / business. The latter one is better. As parents, we should help our kids become independent, not necessarily by telling them to "work hard" in a capitalist society.

Dear Firstpost TEAM and Palki, I just admire and love the way you put things across. 🙏

[@MegaWazeem]

Not only Bollywood. Jay Sha is one such example for nepotism.

[@ryanwinter1856]

I always had a bad idea or shall i say nepotism disgusted me. But your video truly opened my eyes. It is true that not all nepo babies are successful and that an ordinary person with no connections can and be more successful than them. This is a fact that almost slipped out of my mind. Thankyou palki for this amazing informative video. ❤

[@sampatkalyan3103]

Well the fact that your parents paid for your education itself is nepotism.

[@Avant-garde1611]

TRUE and life's not fair neither it could be

Please support real talent because it creates a good society for us

[@jasmineshah3468]

Love it. Beautifully presented.

[@Mj-bs9wg]

To stop nepotism the only way is to not watch their movies, interviews or any kind of shows they are cast on. If they are in the cast, just don't watch the movie even if it is good. That's the only solution. Slowly other talented individuals can get a chance and nepotism will be gone for sure as cinemas will face huge losses. The question to ask is........Can the people do that ???? Hmmmm!!! I doubt that. If people can't do that...... then I would suggest not to blame nepotism and make it a subject to debate or talk about. At least let someone make a living.

[@misojsl]

She makes sense but just because something is happening through ages, doesn't mean it should continue. People are buying tickets to enjoy those 2-3 hrs, our money is not for crappy acting. Its a relief that now we can call out them.

[@chumdemoezung9876]

Forget about the nepotism in Bollywood. We have nepotism in politics itself...

Excellent presentation! I have learnt a few things. Thanks

[@manash54]

Everyone out here... wonder why Ambani sons and daughter have high post in Reliance offices. Were they interviewed and selected out of 10k professional from India and they stood out? Introspect.

[@priyanshisingh9329]

we should start opposing it in every sector rather than giving a defence to it saying it's prevelant in all sectors. thanks for bringing this up in such a detailed manner but I disagree with your closing comments, there might be talent better than George Clooney and Farhan Akhtar if at all given a fair opportunity

[@chrislitmen]

Don't think Charlie Chaplin falls in to nepotism example just because thier parents where artists. Chaplin worked hard for his position and never used his parents influence to get what he wanted infect he risked his life making films against Hitler.

[@sanikamudholkar8000]

No nepotism in teaching profession i said in teaching not in educational institutions

[@RohitSharma-rl9zh]

Problem in nepotism is NOT about getting opportunities because of influence from your forefathers. The real problem is deliberately killing opportunities for those ones who has no connection or forefathers(non nepotistic ones)trying hard to be on their own without anyones support. Text book examples is SSR. He was working hard when he knew he has no one which is absolutely fine but when film lobbies(KJ and others) were deliberately isolating him so he🎉 no more gets opportunities is THE REAL NEPOTISM issue we need to talk about and highlight. That js the real issue NO ONE able to talk through or bring up unfortunately.

[@nee_nyk]

Motivating content for the people who want to make it BIG by themselves. When you don't have resources there is more adventure, fun in the ride and feeling of recognition is just out of the world when you achieve SUCCESS.

[@therespectedfaculty9316]

TELUGU industry is ruled by NEPOTISM. directors, producers, actors, distributers all are controlled by few wealthy families. Most of the actors are only good dancers. They improve acting after 100 movies.

[@HumanFirst001]

Being star ⭐ kid is not a problem . absolute lack of talent is...

[@80CGK]

NEPOTISM exists everywhere in life 🙄🙄 what is the big deal?? It exists in every profession, don’t people have common sense? Why focus only on Bollywood? If they are promoting their kids, what is wrong with that? As if?? 😡🙄

[@scottallan5047]

South Africa is a primary example of nepotism in our political sphere.. It is referred to as cadre deployment. It was acknowledged as such by our chief justice. It involves the ruling party (ANC) placing their party members in every aspect of South African public life. These people used their connections to promote family contacts in the private sector for government contracts and tenders. It has taken the ANC 30 years to destroy South Africa in the name of Affirmative Action and redistribution. It is a shining example of nepotism versus meritocracy. (I grew up in in Durban. It has the biggest Indian population outside of the Indian subcontinent. It is also a reflection of the Indian Packistanian divide with approximately a 60% hindu, Tamil Christian and 40% muslim. But India and Pakistan can learn from this as they coexist peacefully. Perhaps lessons can be learnt as there is too much else going on to be bothered by a religious divide. Also a very sophisticated population and jealously viewed by the black population. English is also m the spoken language. Food for thought.)

[@orientalguy9462]

Do you really think religion divides people? No, if someone says only my views are true and other's views are false and they(others) should be damned for their false views, this is inherently a supermascist stance and we very well know that from supermacism only comes hatred or dislike towards others.

[@kirtishrotriya7126]

Palki you are just superb..You put any point,idea which gives different perspective.

[@eddieamorgan]

Nepotism can be analogously compared to cussing, especially with close ones; while it may be challenging to avoid entirely, excessive indulgence in it is detrimental to everyone involved. Much like the addition of Indian spices to a meal, a moderate amount is acceptable and keeps everybody on edge, but an excess of nepotism, like an overdose of spices, can spoil the overall experience for everyone.

[@samlobo1234]

Even Ranbir and Alia are mediocre actors, but their PR is so huge that inflate them to superstar level. So, All a nepotism kid need is a mediocre skill.

[@ferrumpugnus3708]

Best way to described how bad nepotism is in Bollywood bu just saying two names Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor.

[@devranjan5213]

[@ravikumarvines]

Kids living in their parents' house, enjoying their meals, buying mobile phones, using the internet, running their father's business, har baat "pta hai mera baap kon hai" bolne wale are talking about nepotism.

[@S_Chandra503]

Nepotism is everywhere. But due to that sometime talents get sidelined and injustice happens

[@adarshguptak]

I would call this movie as a rehabilitation for the forgotten nepos.

[@GauravSingh-fw2xf]

But problem is bollywood runs on nepotism, anyone outside of group has to play slave toe their line or suffer consequences like shushant singh rajput . Justice for SSR we will not forget and never let forget

[@gauravbharti3082]

nepotism is very bad for our society,but i think if you have gather full strength then you can against the nepotism its my believe.

[@gumdrop465]

Nepotism is prevalent in Bollywood and even our legal system. I don't like the concept of reservation as well. Bollywood have already lost the charm. I think the last movie I watched in a theatre was Kantara. I have OTT platforms but series are also psuedo vulgar and soft porn. I prefer to watch Disney series or Pakistani series because they are less explicit. Reservation too makes everything look unequal and less appealing specially govt colleges or jobs. I didn't even think about getting into a govt job or college because I knew I will not get it.

[@shivanghikesar3135]

Nepotism is bad when it starts affecting others lives too

[@rishidhumal1449]

If a Nepo kid is good with its talent...then it's good...with no merit definitely unfair advantage.

[@Moumitasahasunshine]

But that is rare...right now only alia and ranbir...even sara ali khan is not very good...

[@freespirit2050]

This was such a lazy piece of journalism. We all know nepotism exists. Tell us, what its pitfalls are… nepotism leads to mediocrity, there’s no innovation, no new ideas, no change…. It’s detrimental. That’s why, our films are mediocre. There’s nothing new. We are just copycats. And the worst thing is that, everyone is fine with it. People in our country are ok with mediocrity!!!!

[@aspirer47]

I m genuinely surprised by the ppl of my country who has time debating about such cringe content. Like I don't find those debates and discussions when a real good film comes out.

[@Daredevil009.1]

[@kannantm2731]

if a society has to succeed, nepotism and cronyism should be effectively controlled by law and order. In the case of democracies this has got well framed, and unless its eleminated, things will only go from good to bad to worse.

This is stupid. So now your business and your wealth is not to be passed to your son or what.

[@tins2329]

You do realize that most people live an average life. Nepo babies can more than survive this average life happily just on connections. The number of chances and guidance and opportunities make up for opportunities an above average and way more talented outsider can even imagine. If you are extremely talented or lucky you might survive this but for above average to good people (which is most of the population) this is nightmarish Would a fardeen khan survive in movie industry or not is not the question. How many talented but not outstanding people with immense potential will be pushed to mediocrity and small roles because the likes of Fardeen Khan keep getting opportunities in spite of their failures.

[@perspective72]

[@darshansmash7278]

Harsh Reality: Superstar are well known with the fact that their children have no future in Bollywood nor have a well fined skills for survival. Hence working hard and demanding huge amount for compensation in future needs. Their children will not get that respect or states that they get in their presence.
