Richa Chadha speaks about nepotism

Richa also spoke about how the star kids make their way to the Bollywood film industry. She said that nepotism has been an issue that has been discussed from 2015-2016. She has also written about it in the past. Richa feels that it isn't just about how Bollywood functions, it's how the people of the industry look at things. She can respect different opinions because everybody has a story. She further feels that the press wandering around star kids is not a great idea. Such treatment by paparazzi changes the minds of the people from the Bollywood film industry, she feels. Every time there is a new star kid, they try their best to feature them, be it a toddler or a teenager.
