During a recent interview with ANI, Jaideep Ahlawat expressed his opinions on nepotism and talented star kids like Alia Bhatt. He called her a brilliant actress and even questioned how she must feel reading comments calling her a nepo kid. “They must have struggles of their own. Alia is such a brilliant actress. Imagine if she had to read comments all day saying ‘nepo kid, nepo kid.’ How strange must that feel?” he said.
Jaideep pointed out that a child who grew up discussing films would understand the profession better. Citing an example of a child born in a doctor’s family, he pointed out the same thing. He said that if people pestered a doctor’s kid with questions like, “Oh will you be a doctor too,” it would get frustrating.
