Janhvi Kapoor’s Reacts After Rajkummar Rao Takes An Indirect Dig At ‘Nepotism’

3 minutes read

The subject of nepotism in Bollywood has been a hotly debated topic for a number of years, especially since social media’s emergence and the untimely death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020. This discourse has unveiled the deep-seated practices within the Hindi film industry that favor star children over talented outsiders.

Star children, sometimes called “star kids,” have a number of benefits. They are born into an abundance of industry expertise, are introduced to the film business from a young age, and have unrivaled access to networks that can help them break into the film industry. Moreover, the producers that cast them have less uncertainty and financial risk due to their familiarity with the industrial climate. Actors who have seen significant success early in their careers include Varun Dhawan, the son of director David Dhawan, and Alia Bhatt, the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt.

Conversely, aspiring actors with no prior experience in cinema sometimes have an arduous path filled with many auditions, setbacks, and few prospects. Actors such as Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Kangana Ranaut, and the late Sushant Singh Rajput are examples of self-made stars. They had to face great obstacles in spite of their skill and determination in order to become well-known.

This difference often gives rise to such situations in which both kinds of stars face each other on the matter of nepotism. In a similar kind of stance, Rajkummar Rao’s recent jab at nepotism shocked Janhvi Kapoor so much that her reaction went viral on social media.

Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor’s conversation went viral on nepotism.

Recently, Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao have been promoting their upcoming film, “Mr & Mrs Mahi.” The new on-screen pair has impressed audiences with their chemistry and off-screen rapport. But Janhvi Kapoor was taken aback by Rajkummar Rao’s insightful criticism of nepotism during a promotional event.

Speaking about the movie on Mirchi Plus, Janhvi Kapoor related a school event in which her instructor shut off her microphone because she wasn’t singing effectively during a choir performance. When Rajkummar Rao asked why she was chosen for the choir, Janhvi jokingly responded,

“Nepotism, of course. Isliye toh rakha tha mujhe choir mein.”

However, what astonished everyone was Rajkummar Rao’s sharp reply to Janhvi’s nepotism remark. Observing the widespread nature of nepotism, he expressed his intention to silence undeserving people’s microphones. In his reply, he said,

“Fir toh theek hai. Fir toh kaash zindagi mein bhi hum bahut saare mics off kar pate.”

Janhvi was taken aback by Rajkummar Rao’s clever remark, which prompted her to inquire,

“Is that a taunt to me?”

Janhvi Kapoor talked about her comparisons with her mother Sridevi

Janhvi Kapoor has also spoken about the pressures of being compared to her late mother, the legendary actress Sridevi. She stated in an Elle interview that Sridevi warned her about these unavoidable parallels and counseled her to concentrate on her skills. Janhvi and her sister felt anxious and overburdened at first since Sridevi thought no one could match her flexibility. But today, Janhvi sees these parallels as something to strive toward. Speaking about this, Janhvi said,

“I don’t think anybody can do what she did, anybody is as versatile as she is. The level at which she would operate I don’t think anybody can cope with that leave me alone! But in today’s generation, the actresses get compared to her dance moves, every step, every performance. My sister and I would initially stress a lot and get very nervous, overburdened with the baggage. But then I began to understand that I’m being compared to Mumma so that’s the standard!”

During the AajTak Agenda gathering, Janhvi talked about the responsibility of carrying on her mother’s legacy. Although she and her sister have learned to view comparisons as inevitable, she acknowledged the challenge of matching Sridevi’s expertise and flexibility as standards to aspire to.
