Kriti Sanon, who entered the Hindi film industry in 2014, was recently honored with the National Film Award for her role in Mimi. Throughout Kriti’s nine-year career in Bollywood, the issue of nepotism has been a frequent topic of discussion, and she has often been questioned about her views on it. Recently, Kriti expressed that the solution lies in actively generating opportunities for those from outside the industry.
Kriti Sanon opines on the inclusivity of Bollywood for outsiders
During a recent interaction with Vogue, Kriti Sanon was asked about the unequal distribution of opportunities for aspiring actors. Kriti mentioned that the entertainment industry can become more inclusive for outsiders by ensuring that if someone from the industry is being introduced, there should also be opportunities for those who don’t have a background in the field but may possess more talent.
Explaining the same, she said, “The industry can become more accessible for outsiders if we start creating equal opportunities, if you’re launching someone from the industry, make sure you’re also giving space to someone who doesn’t belong but is probably more talented.”
The Ganapath actress acknowledged that this transformation wouldn’t happen quickly and added, “Slowly, very slowly, the world is tilting towards talent and scripts rather than stars and big names.”
