Salman Khan reacts to the nepotism debate in Bollywood
Salman Khan as of now is extremely busy promoting his Sikandar releasing on Sunday 30 March. As part of the promotions, Salman interacted with journalists at a Mumbai hotel on Thursday.
Amidst the conversation, the Salman addressed the nepotism debate in Bollywood. He also spoke about how no one is truly self-made and acknowledged his father Salim Khan’s role in shaping his career.
In the course of the interview a journalist asked Salman about Raveena Tandon’s daughter, Rasha Thadani, making her Bollywood debut.
However, Salman misheard Raveena as Kangana and was visibly shocked. “Kangana ki beti aa rahi hai? (Kangana’s daughter is coming?)” he asked. As journalists clarified the confusion, Salman quickly responded, “ If Kangana’s daughter comes, will she do films or join politics? When reporters brought up nepotism, Salman replied, “Yeah, she or he will have to do something else.”
Salman Khan further stated that no one can truly be self-made. He said, “Nobody in this world is self-made and he doesn’t believe in that. It’s all teamwork. Had his father not come to Mumbai from Indore, he would have been farming there. It was his decision that (paved the way for me). He came here, worked in films. Now, he is his son. He could either go back or continue here (in Mumbai). People bring new terms for all this, like that thing all of you use a lot – nepotism. He loves it.”
Towards the end of the conversation, Salman Khan urged audiences to visit theatres to watch his film Sikandar as well as other releases this week. He is hoping people working get good bonuses on Eid so that they can watch Sikandar, Mohanlal’s
L2: Empuraan, and also Sunny Deol’s new film (Jaat). Three big stars are coming with big films he concluded.
Sikandar also features Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Kishore, Jatin Sarna, and Anjini Dhawan in pivotal roles.
The AR Murugadoss directorial the film hits the theatres a day before Eid, on March 30.
