Actor Arshad Warsi has opened up about nepotism in Bollywood. He said that actors who are not connected to the industry have to struggle a lot.
Actor Arshad Warsi is currently basking in the success of 'Asur'. He has been raved for his performance. Arshad who made his acting debut with 'Tere Mere Sapne' in 1996 rose to fame with his role of Circuit in 'Munna Bhai MBBS'. In an interview, the actor opened up about nepotism and favouritism in Bollywood.
He told Humans Of Bombay, "There is a certain segment of actors, who are a little more privileged than the other segment. Yes, I am talking about kids connected to the film industry. Then there are people who are not connected to the industry. I can’t complain, the film industry has given me a lot, and I love it and I thank them all the time."
He also said that every morning he thanks Joy Augustine, Jaya Bachchan, and Amitabh Bachchan as because of them he has got what he has got. So, he has nothing against the industry but he said that nepotism is a norm and probably he would do the same thing with his kids.
For the unversed, 'Tere Mere Sapne' was produced by Jaya Bachchan, and was directed by Joy Augustine.
Arshad further said that there is a segment of actors who will get multiple chances to give a hit and then there's another segment who do not get that. "You give one flop, you are doomed; you have to struggle all the way again to get back. So that is a sad part," said the actor.
