Nepotism, according to Rajkummar Rao, would always exist in the film industry

Nepotism in the film industry, according to actor Rajkummar Rao, “will always be there.” In a recent interview, Rajkummar added that there are plenty of prospects in the sector even though there is some nepotism. He talked about his friends and classmates who are becoming well-known on OTT platforms, such as Pratik Gandhi and Jaideep Ahlawat.

Love Sex Aur Dhokha (2010) was Rajkummar’s acting debut, but he rose to prominence with supporting appearances in Gangs of Wasseypur-Part 2 and Talaash: The Answer Lies Within (2012). The White Tiger, Stree, Aligarh, Ludo, Newton, Kai Po Che, Shahid, Queen, Bareilly Ki Barfi, and others all featured him. Shahid earned Rajkummar the National Film Award.

Rajkummar stated, “Nepotism will always be there, but there are numerous options now,” in an interview with India Today. I have acquaintances who were in my class but are now well-known because of OTT platforms. like Pratik (Gandhi) in Scam 1992 and Jaideep (Ahlawat), who performed admirably in Pataal Lok. There will be nepotism, but your talent and work will speak for yourself.

He also discussed popular movies and the genres of movies he likes. No one is aware of the secret to making a successful movie; you must keep trying and then trust fate. I haven’t really considered why South Asian movies are successful; perhaps it’s because they’re good movies and the effort paid off.

Nevertheless, I think that cinema goes through stages. At one point, we were filming music videos in Switzerland, after which we began presenting stories about small towns, and now it’s time for the larger-than-life cinema that the South has to offer. However, as an actor, I prefer to work on projects that I can be proud of, rather than necessarily successful ones. I can continue to tell stories as long as my producers don’t suffer financial loss. I would rather make movies that I can be proud of. I’m not interested in belonging to a herd. If my movies don’t gross $100 crore at the box office, that’s fine, he continued.

In the upcoming action-thriller movie Hit: the First Case, Rajkummar will star opposite Sanya Malhotra. The anticipated thriller, which is being directed by Sailesh Kolanu, is a Hindi translation of the Telugu original of the same name. The movie will debut in theatres on July 15.

Rajkumar will appear in many other films besides Hit. He is starring alongside Janhvi Kapoor in Sharan Sharma’s Mr. and Mrs. Mahi. Rajkummar also appears in the films Bheed by Anubhav Sinha, Second Innings by Abhishek Jain, the biopic of Shrikanth Bolla, and Swagat Hai by Hansal Mehta.

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

Raj Babbar left his wife, Nadira, to marry Smita Patil in 1983. His daughter Juhi Babbar has recalled the time in a new interview.
Actor Raj Babbar was already married and had two children when he began his relationship with fellow actor, Smita Patil. The affair and the ensuing marriage saw a lot of controversy, given how it began. Raj Babbar’s daughter, former actor Juhi Babbar, has now opened up on the time and how she came to know about the relationship when she was just 7 years old.

Juhi Babbar on Raj Babbar and Smita Patil

In an interview with Lehren Retro, Juhi recalled how Smita Patil made a conscious effort to connect with Raj’s two children – Juhi and her brother, Arya. “My father talked and explained his marriage with Smita Patil to me when I was barely seven years old, and that’s why my memories of Smita ji are very different. She went out of her way to do things for me. I think she also had this thing that we are the kids of the person who is most special to her, and so we are special to her as well. She would show us a lot of love, always bringing us gifts when she travelled, and she would ensure that at home, we were served the food that we liked. These small memories are nice, but unfortunately, there aren’t many memories,” she said.

Juhi said she was conflicted about her impression of Smita at the time because the actor was always nice to us, but she could see that the marriage had shaken up her own family, particularly her mother, Nadira. “As a child, I knew this is the lady my father wants to be with, and he wants to make her his wife. I could see Smita making an effort towards me and my little brother, but I also knew that this was disturbing the unit that used to be, and that my mother was unhappy about it. I had that understanding—that aunty (Smita) was being so good to me, but when I go home, I shouldn’t share this with my mother.”

Smita Patil and Raj Babbar met on the sets of their 1982 film Bheegi Palkein. Raj left Nadira to marry Smita the following year. Their son, actor Prateik Babbar, was born in November 1986.
