Recently, Abhay Deol opened up about nepotism in Bollywood and asked for a cultural revolution in his recent Instagram post. He shared a picture with his uncle and veteran superstar Dharmendra. He mentioned that he called Dharmendra dad affectionately and stated that he made it big in the industry even after being an outsider.

The actor wrote that “Nepotism is just the tip of the iceberg.” He noted that he has done only one film with his family which was his first project, and added that he is grateful to be blessed and have that privilege.

Abhay Deol mentioned that he has “gone that extra mile” in his career to make his own path, something that his dad always encouraged. The actor added that Nepotism is prevalent everywhere in our culture. He stated that he was aware of it and that pushed him to take chances with new directors and producers throughout his career.

The Dev D star noted that he has been able to make movies that are considered “out of the box” and he is glad that some of those films along with a few artists in them went on to have “tremendous” success.

Abhay Deol further wrote that everyone needs to make serious changes not only on one topic but also on other aspects. He mentioned that “we need a cultural evolution” and stated that everyone deserves a chance to shine. Abhay added that he has been talking on the issue for a long time but has been a “lone voice”.
