Despite their privileged access, star kids often find themselves under greater scrutiny. Over the years, countless actors and filmmakers have been asked to weigh in on the issue. Now, filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, who has worked with actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and several others, has stated that these actors face more pressure than outsiders as they strive to prove themselves at every step.

Imtiaz Ali on nepo kids facing pressure

Sharing his perspective on the long-standing insider-versus-outsider debate in Bollywood, filmmaker Imtiaz Ali argued that star kids often face a different kind of pressure. He said, “I feel that Alia, Ranbir, and many other actors and people of the film industry who have been born in the film industry go through an added toughness because they’ve got examples of success right around them. They have to compete with their own fathers, uncles, and mothers to call themselves, in their own minds, successful. People coming from outside have it easier, like me.”
