‘Alia Bhatt is a brilliant actress, but has to read nepo kid comments all day,’ says Jaideep Ahlawat: ‘Uski kya galti hai?’

Actor Jaideep Ahlawat recently shared his perspective on “nepotism” and the struggles of “nepo kids” in the film industry. While many believe Bollywood is not welcoming to outsiders, Ahlawat shared how star kids like Alia Bhatt also face their own challenges. The actor praised the Raazi actor for her acting skills and dedication, adding that she should not be judged just for being born into a film family.

In an interview with ANI, the Paatal Lok actor called Alia a “brilliant actress” and questioned how she must feel when reading comments calling her a “nepo kid.”

Questioning if it’s her fault that she was born into Mahesh Bhatt’s house, the actor said, “They must have struggles of their own. Alia is such a brilliant actress. Imagine if she had to read comments all day saying ‘nepo kid, nepo kid.’ How strange must that feel? Uski koi galti hai kya agar woh Mahesh Bhatt ke ghar mein paida hui hain? A child who grows up watching and discussing films from the age of three or four will naturally understand the profession better.”
