It's work which has got me work, not nepotism: Sanjay Kapoor on 'Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives'

Karan Johar's latest show 'The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives' has addressed the hot topic - nepotism. In the show, this time, Sanjay Kapoor, who was seen in Johar's 'Lust Stories', directed by Dibakar Banerjee, spoke about his viewpoint on nepotism.

The actor was talking to his wife Maheep Kapoor, who is one of the leads on 'The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives'. Sanjay, who is the brother of successful producer Boney Kapoor and popular actor Anil Kapoor, said that it took him 25 years for nepotism to actually work.

He said, "It took me twenty-five years for finally this nepotism to work. I have known Karan for nearly 30 years. But finally, I am happy it’s work which has got me work, not nepotism."

Sanjay stressed that having contacts isn't everything. "People need to understand that, otherwise I would have been the busiest actor. With the amount of people I know, I would have been doing the best of work," he was heard saying on the show.

He also declared that accusing someone of nepotism is unfair. "To dilute anybody’s work or career by saying it happened because of nepotism, it is not fair," the actor said.

Nepotism and Karan Johar have gone a long way. Kangana Ranaut had first spoken about the word on 'Koffee with Karan', where she called Johar the 'flagbearer of nepotism'. Ever since, they both have exchanged jibes at each other in the name of nepotism.

More recently, Kangana again brought up the topic after actor Sushant Singh Rajput's demise. She claimed that due to nepotism, actors who are outsiders, tend to struggle in the industry and are often sidelined.
