Javed Akhtar, Farhan Akhtar & Zoya Akhtar join up to explain nepotism

With the nepotism debate taking a turn in Bollywood after the demise of Sushant Singh Rajput, Javed Akhtar, Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar have teamed up to explain the ongoing controversy about star kids.

An interview of the family is schedule to air soon, in which Javed opens up about how nepotism exists in every sector of work. He said, “If I have money, I am putting money on my son, this is nepotism? Then every industry there is nepotism.”

Farhan added, “If you are very talented, your talent will find a way to the surface. That is bound to happen.”

Zoya said, “If I am a barber and I have a barber shop, am I going to leave it to my son or am I going to leave it to the best barber in the city? And that’s the bottom line.”

Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut’s team reacted to the promo of the show. The tweet said, “Dear Akhtars, #KanganaRanaut D/O AmarDeep Ranaut frm Manali evr asked you fr work or favour? Give everything u hv to ur children,hv u heard of live & let live?Why Bully someone’s daughter wen u love your own so much?Why did you call her to ur house& threaten her ? Pls ans this ?”

Kangana has also accused Javed previously of threatening her. She told PinkVilla, “This isn’t the first time that Kangana has accused Javed of threatening her. “Once Javed Akhtar had called me to his house and told me that Rakesh Roshan and his family are very big people. If you don’t apologise to them, you will have nowhere to go. They will put you in jail, and eventually, the only path would be that of destruction…you will commit suicide. These were his words. Why did he think if I don’t apologise to Hrithik Roshan, I would have to commit suicide? He shouted and yelled at me. I was shaking in his house.”
