The debate around nepotism in Bollywood continues to spark conversations, especially with the rise of star kids in recent years. While many have debuted with much fanfare, only a handful have truly connected with audiences. In a recent intervoew, Abhimanyu Singh opened up about this and shared how nepotism isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but not giving due recognition to real talent is.
Entry is Easy, But Success is Earned
In a conversation with Filmygyan, Abhimanyu shared his thoughts on nepotism in the film industry. He said that while star kids may get an easy entry due to their family background, success ultimately depends on their talent and performance. Without delivering good work, even star kids can’t sustain their careers.
Talent Needs More Visibility
The actor further addressed how star kids often get several chances to prove themselves, pointing out that the industry isn’t always fair when it comes to rewarding talent. He stressed the importance of recognizing real talent, adding that many skilled individuals, including writers, remain unnoticed despite their capabilities.
He further highlighted the gap between talented individuals and the opportunities available to them. According to him, producers are actively looking for fresh talent, but there’s a lack of a proper system to connect them. He questioned why, despite so much talent in the industry, filmmakers rely heavily on remakes instead of original stories.
Star Kids Struggle to Impress Despite Opportunities
Recently, several star kids have stepped into Bollywood, but few have managed to leave a mark. Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan debuted with Naadaaniyan, which was poorly received by critics and audiences alike. Khushi Kapoor, after her mixed debut in The Archies, starred in Loveyapa, which failed at the box office. Ajay Devgn’s nephew Aaman Devgan also entered the industry with Azaad, but his performance didn’t make much impact either.
