Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali and actress Anushka Sharma state that they have never faced nepotism in Bollywood, July 21.<\/p>\n

\n

The director and the actress were asked to respond on the topic at the trailer launch of their film \u201cJab Harry Met Sejal,\u201d also starring Shah Rukh Khan.<\/p>\n

Imtiaz said he and both his leading actors are not from the industry but have managed to succeed in Bollywood.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that the three of us, who are outsiders, are here today… If we had faced nepotism then we wouldn\u2019t have reached this far in our respective careers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can confidently say about myself that if I am here it is because of the love and affection of the film industry at that time. I don\u2019t see it (nepotism),\u201d Imtiaz said while replying to a question from a journalist.<\/p>\n

Ali, however, said if somebody is subjected to bullying for being an outsider then it is wrong.<\/p>\n

Karan Johar, Saif Ali Khan and Varun Dhawan are in news for their IIFA joke on nepotism and Kangana Ranaut, who had first sparked the debate by calling the filmmaker \u2018the flag- bearer of nepotism\u2019 on his show earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Sharing a similar viewpoint, Anushka said whatever she is on Friday in her career is because of the people in the film industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was launched by a banner like Yash Raj Films (YRF) which has always, either with me or Ranveer Singh, put talent before anything else. I had not thought about it (nepotism) when I entered the film industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut at the same time everyone faces different experiences, we have to respect and value them. In the same industry, different people can be treated differently and that has to be respected and valued,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
