Shatrughan Sinha Shares His Views On Nepotism

The term nepotism has been creating a buzz ever since actress Kangana Ranaut started the nepotism debate on the sets of Karan Johar's show, ‘Koffee With Karan’. Recently, KJo invoked the controversy at the IIFA 2017 in New York. And now, veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha, whose daughter Sonakshi was launched by Salman Khan, expressed his views on nepotism.

“People are just talking about it (nepotism) right now”, Shatrughan stated, adding, “It happened before, and it happens today, and will continue in the future too. Ultimately the growth and survival of the industry depends upon the audience, the people of this country”.

“It doesn’t matter who comes from where, even if they’ve been cutting across the states, audiences all over the country need to like an actor’s work. I’ve seen so many stars who have come, worked and done well, and many have not done well. Many actors have shone in one film and then they were lost. Ultimately, the audience predicts the fate of the star”, the Kaala Patthar actor added.

Touching upon the other side of nepotism, Shatrughan said, “It is not like our kids come into the industry from our homes. If they have the aptitude and the talent, we have no right to stop them from pursuing what they love doing. But, that doesn’t mean that we don’t give opportunities to actors from outside the industry. They also have to perform and the audience will love and accept them for it. So the industry is made of both kinds of actors and it will work like that”.

For the uninitiated, Kangana had called Karan intolerant towards outsiders and a flag-bearer of nepotism in February this year.
