Star kids don’t get enough credit for their success: Ranbir Kapoor

Nepotism has been the topic of debate in the last few months and Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor, the grandson of Raj Kapoor, was one of the many actors to give his point of view.

The actor said ‘star kids’ don’t get enough credit for their success in the industry – which is true because the likes of Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra and several other actors, have failed inspite of getting a platform and the chance to work under some of the biggest directors in the industry.

Ranbir talked about the infamous nepotism debate on comedy group All India Bakchod’s ‘AIB Podcast’.

Tanmay Bhatt introduced Ranbir by saying “Our guest today comes from the family of Prithvi Raj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Karisma Kapoor”

He then asked “My question to you Ranbir is do you believe nepotism exists in Bollywood?”

Ranbir replied “I am a ‘disarming’ product of it” while pointing to the slogan on his shirt, which read ‘disarming’.

“Of course it exists. I’m sitting here next to you guys (because of nepotism). I have a simple take on nepotism: I believe that my great-grandfather worked hard to give his children a platform, and so on and so forth,” Ranbir said.

“I became an actor because of my family, and because I got the opportunity, and the thing is you don’t really get credit for your success because everyone just looks down upon your success” he added.

Ranbir, one of the most talented actors that the industry has seen in the last few years, was recently seen in ‘Jagga Jasoos’.
