Huma Qureshi’s take on favouritism and nepotism in Bollywood is noteworthy

The much hyped episode on ‘Koffee With Karan 5’ which saw Kangana Ranaut taking on the host Karan Johar with her comment “flag-bearer of nepotism” brought to light the favoritism that happens in the industry. While the star kids were blamed for having it all easy, the outsiders spoke about how tough it was for them to enter the industry. Now, ahead of her release ‘Dobaara’, actress Huma Qureshi has spoken up on the same. (Also Watch: Huma Qureshi and Saqib Saleem indulge in a candid chat)

Here’s what she said to Hindustan Times, “Anybody who says that favoritism doesn’t exist in Bollywood would be lying. I can completely understand that nobody chooses to be born into a given family. It’s not a blame game where I’m trying to put down another person and say that somebody else does not deserve [to be] where they are in their career and life. However, the opportunities that come to you are far easier; the projects that are offered to you are far bigger; the budget sanctioned for your films would be much bigger.”

She further adds, “There are so many talented people out there who don’t get the same kind of opportunities. My father runs a restaurant business in Delhi, so if I had chosen to sell kebabs, it would be far easier for me than for anybody else.” Workwise, the actress will be seen in a horror movie ‘Dobaara’ where she will be sharing the screen space with her brother, Saqib Saleem for the first time.

Well, the lady surely has a point.
