Alia Bhatt who plays Churni Ganguly, mother in the upcoming film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, recently shared her perspective on the nepotism debate in the Hindi film industry. Ganguly believes that this debate doesn’t hold true when it comes to Alia as she is really talented.In an interview with News 18, Ganguly praised Alia’s acting skills, stating, “Alia is an incredibly talented performer. People often discuss nepotism, and there’s a lot of talk about it. I think nepotism only becomes relevant if the actor lacks talent and doesn’t measure up. But that’s certainly not the case with Alia.”
Alia Bhatt the daughter of director Mahesh Bhatt and actress Soni Razdan, has frequently faced criticism and trolling for allegedly securing opportunities in Bollywood solely due to her family background and close association with filmmaker Karan Johar. While she made her debut in Karan’s 2012 film Student Of The Year, it was her impactful performance in her second movie, Highway, directed by Imtiaz Ali, that put her on the map.
Looking ahead, several star-kids are set to make their Bollywood debuts in the coming months. Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies will feature Suhana Khan (daughter of Shah Rukh Khan), Khushi Kapoor (daughter of Sridevi), and Agastya Nanda (grandson of Amitabh Bachchan) in their acting debuts. Additionally, Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor, was announced to make her acting debut in the Karan Johar-produced film Bedhadak. However, there has been little progress with that project since its announcement. Meanwhile, it was revealed that Shanaya will be joining the cast of superstar Mohanlal’s pan-India film.
