Over the past few years, there have been a lot of talks in the country, surrounding nepotism, groupism in Bollywood. Especially after Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, it apparently took a turn towards Nepotism and how Bollywood mistreat outsiders.
Speaking of that, Hindustan Times recently published an article, where we found out Kiara Advani, who is also an outsider speaking on the same. When the interviewer asked, “You came into the film industry without any connections and have made it this far on your own merit. Being a rank outsider, would you today say that Bollywood has fully accepted you?”, the Kabir Singh actress said, “Acceptance did take some time. But today, I cannot explain how encouraging it feels when people from your fraternity go out of their way to message or call you after watching your work. Whenever I watch a film that has touched me or a performance I admire, I always find a way to get in touch with that person because everyone likes to be appreciated. It’s so motivating to get that acknowledgement. Whoever I have worked with — right from my very first film, the entire crew, my co-stars — we’re still in touch; I have a wonderful working relationship with every single person that I’ve worked with. Be it in the South film industry or Bollywood, those equations have stayed even though we don’t get to see each other often. We all appreciate each other’s work, we’re in touch over texts and especially during a pandemic, everyone has reached out to one another. It’s really nice that everyone is making that effort. More than anything, I always wanted the audience to accept me, as they’re the ones we make films for. And I think when the movie audience accepts you, that’s when you get more work.”
Kiara Advani is one of the top-notch actresses in the country right now. Giving some back-to-back hits over the past few years, the actress has earned immense love and respect from all across the nation.
