Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan, both established names in Bollywood, addressed the heated topic of nepotism in the Indian film industry. While acknowledging their familial connections to Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, the Khan brothers emphasized their individual journeys and achievements.
In a candid discussion with Timeout, Arbaaz and Sohail acknowledged that they may not have reached the same level of success as their brother Salman, but they asserted their presence in the industry based on their own merit and hard work. They highlighted the challenges they faced and the efforts they put in to carve out their own identities in Bollywood.
Arbaaz Khan said, “Sohail and I may not be as successful as other superstars or our brother Salman Khan, for that matter, but we are still here. We are working and are busy doing other things. No one does favors for anyone.” He continued, “It would be unfair to say that if an actor is successful, it is because of their connections or nepotism. Even a superstar goes through a phase where 10 of their films flops and they don’t know what to do. How can they then favor or help another celeb’s kin?”
The Khan brothers’ candid remarks on the show highlighted the complexities of nepotism in the entertainment industry and the perceptions surrounding star kids.
