Actress Tamannaah Bhatia has given her comment on the existence of nepotism and favouritism in showbiz. Calling herself an outsider, she said, “Coming from Mumbai, when I started doing Tamil and Telugu films, I neither knew the languages, nor did I know anyone in the industry. So I had no connection whatsoever. I worked hard and kept getting opportunities may be because people saw potential in me. Whatever success or failure I got on my way because of my efforts and destiny.”
Saying that nepotism, favouritism and politics are present in every field and not just in the film industry, she said, “such things cannot determine your success or failure.” Tamannaah said, “My family has a lot of doctors and now if I had taken interested in the profession like my brother then they would have also guided me. Tomorrow, if my child wants to become an actor, I'd do the same. That's how it works, there's nothing wrong in that.”
She agrees that star kids do get more opportunities than an outsider. “But then, your success can't be determined by such factors. One might say I got many opportunities but why am I saying this?”
