Yash Raj Films launches Raj Kapoor's grandson, sparking yet another debate on nepotism

People took to Twitter to express their outrage

Long gone are the days when families of actors practiced monopoly over the Indian cinema like a dynasty. The Kapoors, the Dutts and the Khans to name a few.

The consumers of Bollywood  today seem to be much more averse to actors that need to be simply granted their careers to them on a silver platter and set them apart from those that made their way up the ladder through talent and hardwork.



The heat on the debate about Karan Johar's alleged nepotism hasn't entirely died down and we already witness sparks of contempt at the launch of yet another 'star' who will potentially benefit from the currency his last name holds in the Indian film Industry.

The launch of Raj Kapoor's grandson from Yash Raj Film's Twitter has sparked controversy at the gods of Bollywood and their insidious PR activities as is apparent in the comments of the post.

In a series of tweets, Yash Raj Films launched Raj Kapoor's grandson Aadar Jain and the posts met with resentful reactions, calling out the launch for nepotism.

We have compiled a list of tweets that fueled this controversy.

.@karanjohar should've been a Marvel character. Declaring someone talented without them having done any work is a superpower. #AadarJain https://t.co/X8DR3xbAQx

Since Kangana's comment on Karan Johar's show , blaming him guilty of nepotism and the audience reactions supporting Kangana for her bold, straightforward words, the consumers of Indian cinema seem to be vary of the high-handed attitude of a bunch of actors who owe their stardom entirely to their lineage.



It seems that such resentment might break the chain of the same faces and families ruling the film scene for generations and call out for fresh talent.
