From Esha Deol To Abhishek Bachchan, 5 Actors Who Spoke Up About Being Compared With Successful Parents!
The audience should be a little kinder!
Having successful parents is not great until one starts getting compared to them. This stands widely true for star kids AKA nepo babies. Even though their parents would be okay with them figuring their own way out, society judges them hard and often compares them to the precedent set by their parents. This is unfair on so many levels and demoralising too. Even if the young actor is talented, the audience’s critique of them is very harsh. Many celebrity kids have spoken about how they felt when they were compared with their super-successful parents, and most recent one is Esha Deol.
1. Esha Deol – Hema Malini
In a recent interview, Esha Deol has talked about getting compared with her mother, Dream Girl Hema Malini. She said that she was compared to her mother at the age of 18 after she made her debut but made her peace with the fact that this is going to keep happening.

It is quite brave of these celebrities who continue to work hard and prove to the audience that they are here to stay and improve their skill. In return, the audience must be a little forgiving too and not judge them too quickly.
