“How many star kids are successful?” Abhishek Bachchan’s unadulterated take on nepotism

“How many star kids are successful?” Abhishek Bachchan’s unadulterated take on nepotism
Share on FacebookShare on X

In recent years, Bollywood, India’s thriving film industry, has found itself increasingly embroiled in a contentious debate on nepotism. The topic, brought into the spotlight by the media’s incessant discussions and further amplified by the tragic demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has become an emotive issue. It has sparked polarizing debates, often framing ‘star kids’ as the villains of the narrative. However, Abhishek Bachchan, the scion of the legendary Bachchan family, offers a much-needed reality check with his unique take on the matter.

“Perception doesn’t matter, facts matter!”

In a candid interview with ETimes, Abhishek Bachchan confronted the issue of nepotism in Bollywood, offering a perspective that deviates from the mainstream narrative. He argued, “The media has just found this one word which they can throw around. Let’s not go by perception, go by the numbers, they never lie. It’s as simple as that, perception doesn’t matter, facts matter.” With these words, Bachchan challenges the perception-driven debate, asking observers to rely on empirical evidence rather than emotionally-charged opinions.

Bachchan was forthright in acknowledging that being a ‘star kid’ does have its privileges, particularly when it comes to making a debut. He conceded, “The sad part is that star kids know that they’re being cast for that reason and not because they’re wonderful actors who’ve trained themselves.” However, he also underscored the undeniable fact that after the initial launch, the longevity of an actor’s career is determined by their talent and dedication to their craft.

Bachchan went a step further by pointing out the disparity between the popular perception of star kids’ success and the ground reality. He posited, “How many of these star kids have succeeded in comparison to those who have not come from a film background? The numbers are there for you to see. The discussion starts and ends right there.” His emphasis on data rather than perception pushes the debate towards a more pragmatic and less emotionally-charged direction.

The lesser talked about side of nepotism

The term ‘nepotism’ entered Bollywood’s public discourse after Kangana Ranaut called out director Karan Johar for his alleged preferential treatment towards actors from film families on his chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’. Since then, a multitude of industry insiders have voiced their opinions on the issue, often providing fuel to an already fiery debate. Abhishek Bachchan’s rational and fact-based stance provides a sobering perspective that challenges the mainstream narrative. Long story short, nepotism might be an accelerator, but it is not your wild card to success in Indian cinema!

To underscore Bachchan’s point, one needs only to look at the career trajectories of various star kids. Several actors from film families, including Kumar Gaurav and Ananya Panday, have been granted multiple opportunities but have struggled to make a substantial mark in the industry. On the other hand, certain actors like Akshaye Khanna and Abhishek Bachchan himself, despite delivering commendable performances, have seen their achievements overshadowed by the nepotism narrative.

Ultimately, as Abhishek Bachchan points out, it is quality that reigns supreme in the world of cinema. While nepotism might offer a foot in the door, long-term success in Bollywood requires talent, hard work, and an unyielding commitment to the craft. His views underscore the need to shift the focus from the nepotism debate to a more balanced discussion that recognizes and nurtures genuine talent, regardless of their family background. An actor’s worth, after all, should be measured by their performance and dedication to the art, and not by their familial connections. This refreshed perspective could potentially usher in a more nuanced understanding of the opportunities and challenges that exist within the complex world of Bollywood.
