Kangana Ranaut Answers If She'll Help Her Child Get In The Film Industry Through Nepotism

Darpan News Desk IANS, 30 Mar, 2019 12:09 AM

    Kangana Ranaut has often spoken against the practice of nepotism in the film industry.


    In a recent interview with Mid-Day, the 32-year-old actress revealed what she would do, if or when her own child needed to make use of her celebrity status.


    Kangana was questioned if she would help her future child or not in case they wanted to join Bollywood.
    She said: “If I really care for him (the child) and if I’m really a good mother I would let him find his own way."


    Kangana believes if she helps her child enter the industry, she would be hampering his skills.


    She went on to say: "Well, see, if I do that, the possibility of him being a good director will become 50 per cent. I would let him find his own way because to make a good director, a good living he can make out of anything and anywhere."


    She continued: “But if I want him to be an extraordinary person, I will throw him in the sea; either he will drown or he will make it, that is if I want to create an exceptional human being, an extraordinary human being can only be created like that".


    Giving an example, she added: “My brother is struggling to be a pilot for the past four years, he is looking for a job, I can make a phone call and make that happen but I would not because getting him that job doesn't mean anything to me but to see a great human rise out of that struggle every day, that rejection, that sort of despair and hopelessness is what I would love to see in my brother."


    She said: “For him, there are plenty of options: farming is one, we have a lot of land back home, that is how I choose to see life. Life for me is not cheque or money or just badges that we wear".


    In the interview, she also spoke about different topics, such as her past criticisms of actors Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, and their refusal to discuss politics in public.
