The never-ending debate on nepotism has always had the best of Bollywood. From Varun Dhawan to Alia Bhatt, many actors have been bashed for being a star kid and getting roles easily. While many have taken it sportingly, some actors have chosen to be quiet about it. Recently, Ananya Panday, Siddhant Chaturvedi and other new-gen actors sat for a round table to discuss the same and what the Gully Boy actor had to add to the debate is winning the internet.
It all began when Ananya shared her take on the whole debate. She went on to say, “When people hate on me for nepotism, I am not going to shy away from the fact that I am Chunky Panday’s daughter. I have always wanted to be an actor. Just because my dad’s an actor, I will never say no to an opportunity to act.”
She added, “My dad has never been in a Dharma film. He never went on Koffee With Karan. So it’s not as easy as people say. Everyone has their own journey and their own struggle.”
Siddhant Chaturvedi interrupted Ananya Panday in the middle to give a very befitting yet subtle reply. The Gully Boy actor said, “Everyone has their own struggle. The only difference is ‘jahan humare sapne poore hote hain, wahan inka struggle shuru hota hai (their struggle begins where our dreams are fulfilled).”

Watched it hours after it aired and was impressed by such an articulate and polite mic-drop one-liner. Didn't expect it to trend, but wth, good punchlines deserve it. #SiddhantChaturvedi https://t.co/TgX0VGNFbo
