Throwback: Shraddha once revealed how Sonakshi, Alia got big debuts in films because of nepotism

The question of nepotism in Bollywood has always been a controversial matter of debate, with many celebrities expressing strong views. While several actors acknowledged that nepotism exists in the industry, as it does in any other sector, others believed that the only way to success is via hard effort. For the uninitiated, the issue around nepotism began when Kangana Ranaut referred to Karan Johar as the “flag-bearer of nepotism” during an appearance on his talk program “Koffee with Karan.” Since then, a slew of B-Town celebrities has weighed in on the topic.

Shakti Kapoor’s daughter Shraddha Kapoor had previously stated that nepotism helped actresses like Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha, and Parineeti Chopra get a break and make their dream Bollywood debut. During a fast rapid-fire round on the popular celebrity chat show, the Half Girlfriend actress was asked about the things these women have that she didn’t.

For Parineeti Chopra, Shraddha said, she had Aditya Chopra. For Alia Bhatt, she took Karan Johar’s name and for Sonakshi Sinha, she said Salman Khan.

Parineeti had made her acting debut in Aditya Chopra’s film ‘Ladies versus Ricky Bahl’. In the film, she starred alongside Ranveer Singh. In 2012, Alia made her Bollywood debut in Karan Johar’s teen thriller Student of the Year. Alia’s career took off after her major break, and there was no going back for her. Salman Khan, on the other hand, was the one who introduced Sonakshi. She made her acting debut in the action-drama Dabangg, opposite Salman Khan, as Rajjo.

Shraddha Kapoor, unlike these women, did not have a big and dreamy start. She made her acting debut in the 2010 heist film Teen Patti. The film was followed by her first leading part in the teen drama Luv Ka The End. With roles in films such as Ek Villain, the dance drama ABCD 2, Baaghi, and Aashiqui 2, Kapoor established herself and came to prominence.
