Isha Koppikar speaks on the ongoing nepotism debate

The never ending debate on nepotism in Bollywood has heated up since the demise of the actor Sushant Singh Rajput in June. Many of the stars and superstars in the film industry have come forward and has spoken about being replaced in films even before it goes on floors. These roles are then played by a star kid, or by somebody who has some link with a powerful name in the industry. One of the actresses who have spoken up about being a victim to such things is Isha Koppikar.

In her interview with a publication, Isha spoke up her mind saying; “A lot of times, I was about to get a role, but then somebody called. The father or mother would call and the starlet would get it. If somebody is with someone and the heroine is his muse or girlfriend, then she would get the role. All this has happened to me.”

She further added, “I was about to go for the mahurat, and it happened. I will not talk about the star. He is a superstar today.”

Earlier it was Taapsee Pannu speaking about her being replaced by a star kid. She said;  “I have been replaced in a lot of films by star kids. But I refuse to be bitter about it. I reached a point when I didn’t seek validation from them. That’s when I decided to make my own path. You don’t need any validation, they haven’t come to screenings of my films or tweeted about them, but does that make my films bad? No.”
