Kareena Kapoor Khan On Nepotism

In a recent interview, the actress accepted that she is privileged; she also believes that one can only survive in this industry with talent, consistency, and audience acceptance. In a conversation with We The Women by Barkha Dutt, Khan said, "Nepotism can get you a debut, not a life-long career. The audience acceptance decides your fate, not your surname." On the same debate, Aadar Jain, brother of Armaan Jain, the creator of Dining With The Kapoors, told ETimes, "People discuss nepotism, but I haven’t reaped its rewards. Sure, I am Raj Kapoor’s grandson, and I am cousins with Kareena and Ranbir Kapoor, but that doesn’t mean I get to star in 50 films a year or continuously sign brand deals and endorsements. Sadly, in that regard, I haven’t been a product of nepotism."
