Bollywood actor Saqib Saleem who is known for his vocal nature and putting his points clearly on every issue which floats in the society has finally spoken up on the debate of nepotism. Ever since Sushant Singh Rajput died, the debate of insiders vs outsiders, nepotism, and favoritism started.
The debate of nepotism was started by none other than Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut in the show Koffee With Karan where he called Karan Johar flag bearer of nepotism. After Sushant died, it was she who alleged that the actor was murdered and these things (nepotism) played an active role in his death.
Now, Saqib Saleem has responded to the ongoing debate of nepotism. Talking to Times Now, Saquib said, "Tomorrow if my son wants to be an actor, will I not make him an actor? Should I not make him an actor? If my son is good and has learned on his own and comes to me and says I want to be an actor or my daughter says I want to be an actor, will I not make my daughter an actor?"
"Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's child that they are having if he/she wants to either be a cricketer or an actor, they can't make their child that? I feel like we are in a time where people decide. You can be blaming star kids but you go and watch their films only na. And why not? You should also. But then don't say that they are getting the opportunity, they also want to work. If tomorrow Shah Rukh Khan's son (Aryan Khan) is launched, the whole world would want to watch him. Then accept it that we want to and be normal about it. It is in every business," he added.
Interestingly, Saqib has also worked with Rhea Chakraborty in the past however, he is himself an outsider and also the brother of Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi.
