Sona Mohapatra hits back at Zoya Akhtar’s comment on ‘nepotism’; says, “Use your privilege to bring fairness & balance”

In a recent interview with India Today, the Akhtars including Farhan, Zoya and Javed Akhtar opened up about the insider vs outsider debate, nepotism and a lot more about the current situation in Bollywood. In the interview, Zoya had said that she cannot change her parents or her career just because some people have problems with that. Zoya also said that she is lucky to have writers in her family.

Reacting to a news piece on Zoya’s comment, singer Sona Mohapatra wrote, “Your privilege need not be ur guilt but it need not make you so glib,condescending & smug.Of course u cannot ‘change’ ur parents.But what u can do is recognise the fortune, opportunities u were born into.Use ur privilege to bring fairness & balance?No. ‘Will not share MY cake’(sic)”.

When a Twitter user asked Sona to watch the full interview, she wrote back, “I don’t judge by headlines but by having experienced the workings of this self-serving lot year after year. You are free to lap up/watch a ‘glib family’ ‘chat’ & call it an ‘interview’. I see it for what it really is; a hedonistic exercise designed to hoodwink the public.”
