Farah Khan, a prominent filmmaker and choreographer, recently spoke candidly about nepotism in Bollywood and the challenges faced by industry outsiders[4]. During a podcast with Sania Mirza, she shared that despite her own success, she continues to feel financial insecurity, a sentiment rooted in her family's past struggles—moving from affluence to poverty after her father's death, and living hand-to-mouth for years[4]. She attributed her relentless work ethic to this experience and expressed empathy for outsiders who resent the advantages enjoyed by "nepo babies" (star kids), acknowledging that their anger is fueled by the real struggles of paying rent and making ends meet, in contrast to the perceived privilege of industry insiders[4]. Khan also critiqued the public's fascination with "struggle stories," noting that even those who haven't truly struggled try to create a narrative to fit this trend. She stated she is glad her own children won't have to endure such hardships[4]. When asked to choose between choreography and content creation, Khan pragmatically selected content creation for its financial rewards, though she clarified that her true passion remains directing films[4]. Overall, her remarks highlighted both the realities of Bollywood's nepotism debate and the personal insecurities that drive her—and many others—in the entertainment industry[4].
