Overview
- Kriti Sanon told Filmfare that she finds it unfair when actors from film families receive roles for eight or nine years without proving their acting ability.
- She qualified her critique by praising Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt as performers who earned their status through talent despite easier access.
- Sanon framed the comments with her own 12-year career story, recounting early setbacks in modelling and gradual rise that culminated in a National Award for Mimi.
- The remarks came during promotion for Homi Adajania’s Cocktail 2, a film that critics have praised for her performance and that has earned about Rs 70 crore at the box office.
- Her intervention puts fresh focus on ongoing industry debates over nepotism by highlighting how repeated opportunities for some can cut short outsiders’ careers and reshape who gets long-term chances.
