Alia Bhatt Bashed For Defending Nepo Babies In Her Old Interview, 'I Want To Punch All Those...'

Alia Bhatt is the younger daughter of filmmaker, Mahesh Bhatt and his actress-wife, Soni Razdan. She has managed to etch her name in our hearts with her exceptional acting skills and unparalleled beauty. Alia, who is married to Ranbir Kapoor, is a well-known face in Bollywood and has even made her Hollywood debut with the film, Heart Of Stone. However, time and again, Alia receives huge flak for being a nepo baby, and she often reacts to it.

When Alia Bhatt defended star kids in her old interview

In an old interview with the Bombay Times, Alia Bhatt defended the star kids for being tagged as 'nepo babies' and expressed her desire to punch those who think that star kids get easy access to the world of showbiz. Alia further added that it's a person's own journey, and there's no such privilege available for the star kids. She was quoted as saying:

"It is always your own journey, irrespective of the family you come from. I don't think your mum, dad, father or chachu can change that or mend that for you. So, I want to punch all those people who say that star kids have it easy because it makes no sense. The way the world is today, either you have it or you don't. The only advantage that I have today is that if I want to talk to someone about issues, I can reach out to my father who has that experience."
