I am a product of nepotism, says Ranbir Kapoor

A blue blood third generation industry kid, Ranbir Kapoor has never shied away from speaking his mind. He seems to be the only actor who has agreed to the fact that nepotism exists. 

“It exists in the film industry, and I am a product of nepotism. I am here today because of my parents. My father got an opportunity because of his father. So, I believe if my children choose to be actors, I would like to give them a platform,” Ranbir said.

He further added, “If they want to be doctors I will provide them with the education and the backing. Films have been my family business for the past 85 years.”

He says, “Yes, it is unfair to a lot of people who are way more talented than us, but we do get opportunities, and we do get the attention.”

His two back-to-back films Besharam and Bombay Velvet bombed at the box office, and he is bluntly honest about his experience.

“You are as good as your last movie, but I got so much support from my audience. Yes, I accepted the failure, and it was hard time, but it was significant as well. When you start out, at the beginning of your career, you get so much of love and adulation, but when you hit such a low point, it teaches you a lot.”

“I have been tagged as a next superstar for a long time, but I have not reached there yet. I think it’s important to accept your failure and not be in a denial,” the 34-year-old said. Well, here is a lad with his head firmly on his shoulders, we say.
