Nepotism is everywhere...

Nepotism is everyone’s favorite topic these days and I was like why not … I read an article of Mr. Sunil Shetty saying “Is my son or daughter not allowed to dream of becoming an actor just because their father is an actor” and it hit me. We all at one point of our life want to be our like our father/mother. They are our first point of contact when asked what you want to do in life. Maybe someone will say a businessman like my father/mother, maybe a doctor, teacher anything. But those are the very first lines I am sure most of you would have thought of at one point.   Naturally when their offspring want to follow their father/mothers footstep into same industry whichever it may be, every parent tries to help them, guide them.

You get people of all kinds either lashing out or supporting you. There is an extreme opinion harsh reactions from people since social media has increased. There is no middle line. So, I refrained from posting anything till I was clear about it. I just let my peers know about my opinion which is playing bit safe. Recently, I saw a post being shared around: Since the release of this trailer, this movie has created a buzz. People were excited and looking forward very much to watch this movie because of the unique content and how much it emphasizes on acid attack victims in India. This indeed is a very important issue.
