Seems like the nepotism debate pertaining to Bollywood isn't going to die down anytime soon. Recently, a clip from an interview in 2015 featuring actors Rajkummar Rao and Sonam Kapoor Ahuja resurfaced on the internet, which led to the latter getting brutally trolled. In the video, she asks Rajkummar about his take on nepotism but soon cuts him off and starts explaining how she faced problems being a star kid. She further shares that she wanted to assist filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who eventually launched her with the romance musical Sawaariya (2007), but her father, actor Anil Kapoor, did not know him and so, he told her to work with another director. As she expresses her opinions, Rajkummar seems to look quite confused.
Now, Rajkummar in an exclusive interaction with News18 opens up on the much-talked-about viral clip. He tells us that being discussed and having his opinion dissected by netizens is something that will never nudge him to filter his views and mince his words. "That video is edited in a way that it shows my reactions to other things [and not Sonam's words]. This had happened long back. I'm not someone to sit and think about it. It was in the moment," he states.
