Before 2017, we didn't even know that the word 'Nepotism' exists around us. All thanks to Bollywood queen Kangana Ranaut, who brought this up during a chat show Koffee With Karan about two years ago.

For the unversed, Kangana had earlier accused filmmaker Karan Johar with a tag of 'flagbearer of nepotism' on his show's couch and later dragged the names of many star kids under it.
Bold and fearless, Kangana, who takes open challenges with Bollywood biggies out in public never mince her words and say what comes in her heart. Well, the never-ending debate on nepotism initiated by the actress has again found its way to make headlines. Kangana recently spoke to the Mid-day regarding the same where she was given a hypothetical situation around the N-word.
When asked about if 20 years down the line, her child tells her that he wants to be an actor or director, would she help him or not, the Manikarnika actress said, ''If I do that, the possibility of him being a good director will be 50 per cent. If I really care for him as a mother, I will let him find his own way, because he can make a good living out of anything, anywhere."


''But if I want him to be an extraordinary person, I must throw him into the sea. He will either drown or make it,'' the publication quoted her saying.
The Queen actress didn't stop there and cited a real-life example from her own life. She said her brother is 'struggling' to become a pilot for the past four years and he's looking for a job. But she would never make any call or help him.
''Getting him that job means nothing to me. But to see a great human being rise out of that struggle, every day - through rejection, despair, hopelessness - is what I would really love to see my brother as,'' she told the publication.
Acccording to Kangana, though her brother has many options for his career including farming but the actress doesn't see life like a 'cheaque' or 'badges'.


Elaborating further, she said, ''For him, there are plenty of options, farming is also one, we have a lot of land back home, that’s how I choose to see life. Life for me is not cheque or money or just badges that we wear.''


On the work front, Kangana Ranaut, who made her debut in Mahesh Bhatt's film Gangster in 2006 has come a long way and now she will be seen in Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s sports drama Panga and Prakash Kovelamudi’s Mental Hai Kya.
Kangana Ranaut has worked in films like Gangster, Fashion, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, Kites, Katti Batti, Ungli, Tanu And Manu films, Raaz, Revolver Rani, Rangoon, Queen, Simran, and many more.
