The filmmaker continued, “I mean don’t go on and on about nepotism you don’t know what the hell it is.’ So what should I do if I have a child I should not give them the privilege of what I’m doing? I’m a parent, it’ll happen come naturally it happens in every business, but we are just that one word just became like a curse in my filmography or my life and I’m living with it and I say I get nepo spasms now and every time the word like I feel like I get neck pain.”

KJo is currently gearing up for the launch of KWK’s 7th season. The new season of KWK is all set to premiere tomorrow, on July 7, on Disney+ Hotstar. For the first episode with KJo, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani stars Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh will be the guests.
