‘Film Industry Isn’t So Responsible For Nepotism’


‘It’s
also
the
media
and
the
audience.’
‘The
audiences
want
to
watch
what
the
media
is
putting
about
certain
star
kids.’
‘The
industry
feels
since
the
audience
is
interested,
let’s
make
a
movie
with
them.’
‘So
I
think
it’s
a
circle.’

Kriti
Sanon
shared
her
thoughts
on
nepotism
while
speaking
at
the
International
Film
Festival
(IFFI)
in
Goa.

The
National
Award-winning
actor
said
it
takes
time
for
someone
without
a
‘film
background’
to
get
the
opportunities
they
dream
of.

“The
industry
has
given
me
a
very
warm
welcome
since
the
time
I
have
come,”
she
said.

“Of
course,
when
you
don’t
belong
to
a
film
background,
it
takes
time
for
you
to
get
there.
It
takes
time
for
you
to
get
those
opportunities
you
crave
for.
It
takes
time
for
you
to
even
get
those
magazine
covers.”

“Everything
is
a
bit
of
a
struggle.
But
after
two-three
films,
if
you
keep
working
hard
and
if
you
are
at
it,
nothing
can
stop
you.”

“I
feel
the
industry
is
not
so
much
responsible
for
nepotism.
It’s
also
the
media
and
the
audience,”
Kriti
added.

“The
audiences
want
to
watch
what
the
media
is
putting
about
certain
star
kids.
Because
the
audience
is
interested
in
them,
the
industry
feels
that
since
the
audience
is
interested,
let’s
make
a
movie
with
them.
So
I
think
it’s
a
circle.”

“But
I
feel
if
you
are
talented,
you
will
get
there.
If
you’re
not
talented,
and
if
the
connect
is
not
there
with
the
audiences,
you
will
not
get
there.”

Kriti
also
opened
up
about
her
dream
roles.

“There
are
so
many
different
kinds
of
roles
that
I
haven’t
done
yet,
and
I
want
to
do
them.
I
would
love
to
be
a
superwoman.
I
think
India

me
zyada
ye
hua
hain
.
I
would
love
to
do
action.
I
would
also
love
to
play
a
negative
character.”
