Sonam Kapoor on nepotism in Bollywood

Sonam Kapoor is a star daughter and that�۪s something she will continue to find very hard to stay away from. However, in a candid interview, she�۪s said that nepotism can work to someone�۪s disadvantage too.

According to Pinkvilla, Kapoor said to a leading daily, ���But the top heroines today���Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra���are both women who aren’t from the industry. And are you telling me that Alia Bhatt is where she is because of her family and not because of her talent? Nepotism exists everywhere but that doesn’t make the journey any easier�۝.

She further added that it isn�۪t always ���better�۝ for an actor who has family in the industry, ���I lost out on a lot of films because of my father. Salman Khan didn’t want to do Prem Ratan Dhan Payo with me. He was like, ‘Anil Kapoor has been my close friend. How can I romance his daughter?’ It was really difficult and weird�۝.

Kapoor will be seen next in ��Veere Di Wedding�۪ which will apparently commence next month.
