Nepotism Exists In All Industries, Not Just Bollywood: Ananya Panday
Without hesitating to accept being a product of nepotism, Ananya Panday said, "The fact that I can meet a Karan Johar is something that is available to me because of my parents. But I also believe you can have access but what you do in that room is purely dependent on your talent. If you have access and don¡¯t have the talent to back it up, people won¡¯t invest their money in you. Having said that, I do believe nepotism exists and it exists in all industries, not just Bollywood."
The 23-year-old actress, who is all set to star in Puri Jagannadh¡¯s Liger opposite south actor Vijay Deverakonda also revealed that she desired to be part of Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt's film Gully Boy because it she thinks it was a ¡°cool¡± film.
