Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has claimed that one of the reasons nepotism exists is because it is “what you the audience wants to see”. Sharing a news article on Tiger Shroff and Taimur Ali Khan, he wrote, “This is nepotism by the media ..? Why?? Because this is what you the audience wants to see .. So isn't it nepotism by you the audience too??”
However, Tiger's mother jumped in on the statement and told Basu not to use her son's example. Replying to Basu's tweet she claimed Tiger is in the industry solely because of his hard work. She wrote, “Yo! Don't involve my kid in this!! he's here on his own hard work entirely.”
Earlier this month, Tiger had weighed in on the nepotism debate and said star kids get attention more easily, but they also have to work harder to establish themselves as stars in their own right. He had said, “Being my father’s son, there’s an added pressure of being a star’s son. People think it’s very easy for us. I won’t lie, in a way to get a little attention it helps. It’s easier for people who are from the film industry but it’s double the effort to make it on our own. I managed to get out of my father’s shadow.”
