If That's True, I Would Be A Farmer: Kangana
By: Tupaki Desk | 23 July 2017 11:50 AM GMT
Several discussions are going regarding nepotism prevailing in Bollywood. Ever since Kangana Ranaut made comments about nepotism on a talk show, it has become a big talking point. Karan Johar, Varun Dhawan, Saif Ali Khan have thrown some satires on the on nepotism topic in the IIFA event some days back. Everybody knows that those are targeted at Kangna Ranaut. Saif Ali Khan has written a letter apologizing Kangana later. She has responded on the issue with an open letter. She made it clear that her stand will never change on nepotism.
Let us have a look at some points in her letter. "Dilip Kumar, K Asif, Bimal Roy, Satyajit Ray, Guru Dutt and many more, whose talent and exceptional abilities have formed the spine of our contemporary film business.. they didn't come from the filmy background.
There are plenty of examples in present generation where it has repeatedly been proven that beyond the superficiality of branded clothes, polished accents, and a sanitised upbringing, exists grit, genuine hard-work, diligence, eagerness to learn and power of the human spirit. There several examples in every field, are a testimony to that. My dear friend Saif has written a letter on this topic and I would like to share my perspective. My request is that people must not misconstrue this and pit us against each other. This is just a healthy exchange of ideas and not a clash between individuals.
Nepotism fails the test of objectivity and rationale on many levels. I have acquired these values from the ones who have found great success and discovered a higher truth, much before me. These values are in the public domain, and no one has a copyright on them.
Are you implying that artistic skills, hard-work, experience, concentration spans, enthusiasm, eagerness, discipline, and love can be inherited through family genes? If your point was true, I would be a farmer back home. I wonder which gene from my gene-pool gave me the keenness to observe my environment, and the dedication to interpret and pursue my interests."
