In Bollywood, the topic over nepotism appears to never end and occasionally flares up. Star kids like Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are frequently brought up in this discussion anytime someone in the business discusses nepotism. The conversation has built a narrative that pits insiders against outsiders, yet Jaideep Ahlawat—who identifies as a “outsider”—has differing views on nepotism.
“Won’t let Ranbir take my roles”
In an interview with Miss Malini, the Gangs of Wasseypur actor said he was never worried by nepotism. Even though he had no contacts in the business at first, he wasn’t worried that celebrity kids like Varun Dhawan or Ranbir Kapoor would steal his roles.
“Ranbir is Ranbir and always will be”
According to Ahlawat, anyone who thought they could be a decent actor based solely on their status as a star child was insane. “Wo bahar se bhi aata na tab bhi wo Ranbir Kapoor banta (Even if he were an outsider, he would have still been Ranbir Kapoor),” he said, praising the Sanju actor. The 44-year-old actor went on to say that since their families have been in the business for so long, it’s only reasonable for star offspring to benefit from their labour. In a similar vein, Ahlawat would assist anyone from his family who entered the field ten years later.
“Not another Ranbir”
The Jaane Jaan actor reaffirmed that he never entered Bollywood intending to become a star. He did not come to become a second Ranbir Kapoor; rather, he came to become Jaideep Ahlawat. Everyone should focus on building their own image, not strive to emulate “Ranbir Kapoor or Alia Bhatt,” in his opinion. He named notables in the field who have made a name for themselves, such as Manoj Bajpayee and Irrfan Khan. He urged the audience to be authentic rather than a carbon copy of someone else.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”

In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.
What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”
This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”
Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.
Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.
When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”
“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
