Ever since Kangana Ranaut raised the subject on Karan Johar바카라s chat show, 바카라Koffee with Karan바카라, there has been a never ending debate around nepotism in Bollywood. And now, filmmaker Aditya Chopra has addressed the subject finally in the latest Netflix documentary, 바카라The Romantics바카라.

Talking about his own brother Uday Chopra, an actor, the Yash Raj Films바카라 honcho said that despite being the son of an illustrious filmmaker, Uday could not make it big in Bollywood, and could only manage a few hits in Bollywood, including 바카라Dhoom바카라, 바카라Meri Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai바카라 and 바카라Mohabbatein바카라.

Aditya said, 바카라One of the things that people tend to ignore, is that every person who comes from a privileged background바카라everyone is not successful. I can articulate it without mentioning other people. I can just articulate it by mentioning my own family. My brother is an actor, and he바카라s not a very successful actor. Here is the son of one of the biggest filmmakers. He바카라s the brother of a very big filmmaker. Imagine a company like YRF who has launched so many newcomers, we could not make him a star. Why could we not do it on our own? The bottom line is, only an audience will decide 바카라I like this person, I want to see this person바카라. No one else.바카라

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Following this, the documentary then features Uday Chopra, who explains how he trained hard for his debut film 바카라Mohabbatein바카라, and added how Aditya Chopra told him that he would have to work hard at his dancing if he wanted to be an actor. To which Aditya added, 바카라Yes, if you are born into a film family, there바카라s no doubt that there could be an easier time getting an audition or a break. But it stops there.바카라 Uday added, 바카라When Dhoom happened, I was still trying to be a mainstream actor. I should have taken Ali as an example and done roles like that.바카라 

Uday then talked about how received many offers, but he refused them all, as he 바카라was trying to get into a space바카라. He said, 바카라When I started acting, I was very naïve. I thought everyone would like me. I didn바카라t imagine that people might not like me.바카라 Referring to the time when he wasn't considered a 바카라successful actor바카라, and was called a 바카라child of nepotism바카라, Uday admitted, 바카라It did affect me a lot.바카라

Lastly, Aditya Chopra acknowledged Uday Chopra바카라s talent but stated that the audience did not see him the way he saw himself. 바카라They loved him in comedy, but he didn바카라t want to do comedy. He probably realised on his own that this is not for me because I am not going to be able to find the kind of success that I want.바카라 Lastly, Uday signed off by saying that he is not looking at acting as a career anymore.
