The fiery debate around nepotism is not dying down in Bollywood anytime soon. First, the spat between Kangana Ranaut and Karan Johar became an industry wide debate after the actress’s controversial presence on Karan’s chat show, Koffee With Karan. Then Karan, Varun Dhawan and Saif Ali Khan made the debate ugly by cracking jokes on the matter and Kangana at the IIFA 2017.
But are all the actors in the industry who are from a filmy family necessarily to be looked at in a bad light? In fact some of the talented ones do not even make us realize that they couldn’t have made it without their parents. In fact we are thankful that they got a platform to display their amazing talent on the silver screen! Take a look at the products of nepotism in Bollywood we are thankful for.

Saif Ali Khan
We have never seen him in the light of being a flag bearer of nepotism until recently he became a part of the nepotism joke at the IIFA 2017. In fact his acting talent spoke volumes about him always and forever.

Hrithik Roshan
The actor made a smashing debut with Kaho Na Pyaar Hai back in 2000. No doubt he was launched by Rakesh Roshan, but he found his own place in the hearts of audiences regardless of his legacy. No one can deny him the credit of his amazing acting talent.

Kajol
One actress who we have never made us realize her filmy lineage that she inherited from her mother Tanuja. She rocked the 90's and the millennium all by herself and with her talent.

Farhan Akhtar
The multi talented son of Javed Akhtar found his own way into the industry first through direction and later though acting and music and we are so proud to have him in Bollywood.

Rani Mukerji
Her dad is a former director and mom a playback singer and she no doubt has a bigger filmy family. But have we ever seen her basking in the nepotism glory?? In fact she floored us with her acting in each and every movie!

Aamir Khan
Not many even realize that he is the son of a film producer and true to the nepotism debate he found an easy access into Bollywood. But wouldn't Bollywood be regretting if we did not have an actor of substance like him?

Alia Bhatt
She has not collaborated with her director dad in a movie yet. Not just that she has surprised us with her acting and maturity in each new film.
- 8/12
Ranbir Kapoor
He has the legecy of the Kapoor Khandan looming over his career, but no matter how proud he is of it, he has always delivered brilliant performances in each film.
- 9/12
Shahid Kapoor
He is a son from a totally filmy family and true to his genes, he is an amazing actor who can mould himself into any character he signs up to play.
- 10/12
Varun Dhawan
From his first film, Student of the Year to a film like Badlapur he has grown immensely as an actor. A total entertainer Varun might have cracked the nepotism joke but he has strong talent backing to vouch for him!
- 11/12
Karisma Kapoor
The 90's are incomplete with her films. Just like Ranbir she too bear the Kapoor Khandan flag but not without talent and genuine appreciation for her work.

Konkana Sen Sharma
Her mother Aprna Sen is a brilliant director and she is a brilliant actor and no one can take that away from her.
