Zoya Akhtar, one of the most gifted filmmakers of the industry, has shared a post on Instagram that has gone viral. It says ‘Industry people are shady.’
Netflix’s ‘The Royals’ actress Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday liked the post as well.
One user commented- “Totally agree — when the industry starts showing its shady side, it’s the universe sending a clear sign."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes you just have to read between the shadows and move like ‘Kahin pe nigahen, kahin pe nishaana’👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s to trusting those signs and playing the game smarter every time.”
In an interview with Juggernaut, the filmmaker addressed the much-talked about debate around nepotism. Speaking to the portal, she revealed, “That is a conversation to be had. Everyone needs to have the same kind of education, job opportunities, et al. But when you turn around and say Suhana Khan shouldn’t be in my film, it’s banal because it’s not going to change your life whether she’s in my film or not. You have to talk about what is going to change your life.”
Addressing the issue in another interview
Agastya is Amitabh Bachchan ‘s grandson, Suhana is Shah Rukh Khan ‘s daughter, and Khushi is Boney Kapoor and the late Sridevi’s daughter. In an interview with The Indian Express, Akhtar addressed the debate around nepotism in the film industry and said, “There is definitely a conversation of have and have nots, there is definitely a conversation of people with privilege and those without.”
