When the host mentioned that the audience does not like watching films made by nepotistic stars, Kareena simply answered that if they don’t like actors from a nepotistic background, they should simply stop seeing their films in the movie theatres.

As soon as the clip found its way to the forefront again, eagle-eyed netizens spotted the same and took to the comment section to express their views about it. Well, the clip received a mixed share of views from the users.

The discussion about nepotism in the film world has been never-ending. Moreover, it resurfaces frequently when a new debutant belonging from an erstwhile film family or actor parents make their way into Bollywood. Speaking along the same lines, Kareena, in one of her earlier interviews with Anupama Chopra, spoke about the possibility of her elder son, Taimur making his way to films. She mentioned:
“I think everyone gets what they deserve in their lives, what is there in their destiny. Yeh nahi hai ki Taimur Ali Khan is going to become the biggest star in this country. He’s not. He’s probably the most photographed child in this country, for whatever reason, I have no clue. I will also wish for my son that he be self-sufficient and self-reliant. I am like you do what you want to do in life. “

In her words:
“Everything is my department, from planning what the kids eat at home, their playdates, their classes, generally ghar pe khana kya bana hai, sahab kya kha rahe hain… I love doing all of that. I love multi-tasking. I love being an actor, a star, a housewife. I love it.”
