Nepotism is one of the hot topics in the entertainment industry right now. A lot of people have some or other things to say about it. A lot of celebs gave also reacted to it. Even the star kids who have been targetted by the audience have reacted to it. Raima Sen, grand-daughter of renowned actress Suchitra Sen and daughter of Moon Moon Sen have also opened up on the issue. Suchitra Sen is still considered to be one of the finest actresses to have worked in the Hindi film industry. Reacting to the nepotism fiasco, Raima Sen said that she would have been a top actress too had it all been a cheese walk for her as an actress for being the star kid.
Raima further said that if one has talent, they will find a way. “There are many star kids who couldn’t make it. You’re no one if your film doesn’t work. Star kids who’ve survived are much better performers than many others, they deserve credit.”
She admitted that she got her first break because of her mother. “But, that was it. I didn’t get like 100 film offers immediately after that. I had to struggle, and I’m still trying hard. In between, I went to Kolkata and worked in Bengali films. Bollywood does appreciate regional films and actors, they do recognise me for Chokher Bali (2002) and The Japanese Wife (2010), but that isn’t the criteria to get Bollywood films. You constantly need to prove yourself,” she continued.
