Filmmaker Onir has never shied away from speaking the truth, and this time, he’s addressing a harsh reality of the entertainment industry—the cycle of untalented individuals getting opportunity after opportunity while many deserving artists struggle for a break.
In a recent statement, Onir pointed out the unfair side of nepotism, where industry insiders often get repeated chances, regardless of their talent or performance. He emphasized that success in cinema should be based on merit, hard work, and skill, rather than just family connections or privileged access.

The debate around nepotism has been ongoing for years, with divided opinions. While some argue that talent eventually finds its way, others believe that gatekeeping in the industry prevents real talent from flourishing. Onir’s candid take has reignited conversations on the need for fair opportunities in Bollywood.
What are your thoughts? Should the industry change its approach to casting, or is nepotism an unavoidable reality?
