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.
