Being an outsider, never faced nepotism: Anushka Sharma
Mumbai
Mar 16, 2017
Actress-turned-producer Anushka Sharma says she never faced
any nepotism though she comes from a non-film background and that in Bollywood
people always encourage talents.
Asked if she was also a victim of nepotism in Bollywood while
talking to media on Wednesday evening with the star cast of her forthcoming
film 'Phillauri', Anushka said: 'First of all, every actor has
her own journey in Bollywood. Moreover, if you are good at your work, people
will show interest to collaborate with you, irrespective of your background.'
'I have huge respect for Aditya Chopra who launched me.
Ranveer Singh, Parineeti Chopra and all of us were not from the film industry!
So being an outsider, I never faced nepotism,' the 'NH10' actress
added.
Earlier this month, National Award winning actress Kangana
Ranaut called filmmaker Karan Johar a 'flag-bearer of nepotism', which later
turned into a full-blown controversy with the two celebrities making statements
against each other.
The actress is all set to release her second film as producer
'Phillauri' on March 24 under her home production Clean Slate Films.
Besides her the film also stars Diljit Dosanjh, Suraj Sharma and Mehreen Pirzada.
