Remember Alia Bhatt’s aggressive ‘nepo nepo’ rant? Well, who doesn’t! It has been three years since Alia lost her cool over nepotism allegations and looks like her opinion has drastically changed. The actress revisited the debate in a recent interview and we are impressed with how she navigated the topic.
While speaking about nepotism in the Hindi film industry, Alia shared, “It has definitely come up a lot in conversation over the last couple of years. The long and short of it is, I empathise. I understand that it’s possibly been easier for me to get through the door than maybe the next person. And I compare my dreams to another person’s dreams: no dream is bigger or smaller, or more intense. Everybody’s dreams are the same, everybody’s desire is the same. So I completely understand where that conversation comes from.”
The actress did not beat around the bush on the topic and openly accepted that she got the kind of opportunities that would have been difficult for a non-nepo person at the beginning of her career. She added, “The only thing I can say is that I acknowledge the fact that I have gotten that head start. I acknowledge the fact that I do have that privilege, which is why I give 100 per cent every day and I never take my work for granted. The only thing I can do is keep my head down and keep working.”
Alia definitely has given her best in all her films and has emerged as one of the most talented actresses in the industry. And honestly, no money or connections in the world can buy talent and hard work. Alia has proved herself and has rightfully earned her place in the industry.
Gotta say, Alia has really evolved in the past decade. Here’s hoping she always stays this humble!
