Harshvardhan Rane pitches in on nepotism Vs outsider’s debate: ‘there’s another way to look at this’
Bollywood Nepotism Debate Heats Up: Harshvardhan Rane Shares His Take on Outsiders vs Star Kids
Mumbai actor Harshvardhan Rane has jumped into the hot Bollywood nepotism debate, offering a fresh perspective on how outsiders are holding their own against star kids. If you’ve been following the ongoing conversation about nepotism in Bollywood, this might just change how you see it.
The buzz started when a popular YouTuber posted a clip highlighting how "nepo babies" like Ananya Panday, Ahaan Panday, and Janhvi Kapoor are dominating the industry. Harshvardhan, known for his role in Sanam Teri Kasam, decided to flip the script. On his Instagram, he shared the clip and wrote, "There’s another way to look at this… What I tell myself three times a day is that 7 out of the top 10 stars are outsiders!!!"
He even listed them out to make his point clear:
- SRK (Shah Rukh Khan)
- Akshay Kumar
- John Abraham
- Kartik Aaryan
- Ayushmann Khurrana
- Rajkummar Rao
- …
Wrapping up, he praised the YouTuber: "Big fan of your objective take on the industry @jammypants4."
Fans quickly chimed in with their thoughts on Bollywood outsiders and the nepotism vs merit fight. One supporter agreed but added a gentle nudge: "That’s absolutely true but posting such things and talking about them won’t make you look like a hero. You’re better than this we know it. You should focus on yourself and doing great movies, audience knows what’s the best so you don’t worry about that."
Another fan celebrated the success of outsiders in Bollywood: "I truly admire Sushant Singh Rajput, Manoj Bajpayee, Pankaj Tripathi, Rajkummar Rao and of course you…. Outsiders have proved their worth in Bollywood each and every single time they got a chance."
A third comment praised Harshvardhan’s own journey: "You’ve shown that silence, discipline and dedication can break every wall… Your journey gives strength to countless dreamers who feel unseen… You stand as proof that outsiders can rule with pure talent… Forever proud of the star you already are @harshvardhanrane."
Not everyone saw it the same way, though. One netizen pushed back on the Bollywood nepotism debate, saying, "I understand sir, but please remember this is not the case. The opportunities for newcomers are less with that for the newcomers it takes 100% more time than the star kids. We are not hating them it’s just we want equal opportunities and respect from the community. I hope you understand!"
Harshvardhan’s post has sparked even more chatter about fairness in Bollywood, reminding us that talent from outsiders continues to shine bright amid the star kid spotlight. What do you think—does this list prove outsiders are winning the nepotism battle?
