Actor Sonam Kapoor is the latest guest to appear on Arbaaz Khan’s new web chat show, Pinch. During her appearance, Sonam was shown a few mean comments written for her on social media. One Twitter user had criticised her for not learning how to act despite working as an actor in Bollywood for a decade. Sonam decided to take it as an opportunity to explain what nepotism means to her.
“I just want to explain what nepotism really means. Everybody really think that it is a relative of a person, but it actually means to get a job through any connection. I think people have misunderstood it or people don’t understand it or use the word for their benefit to put other people down,” she said.
She went on to say that not taking advantage of her father, actor Anil Kapoor’s influence would be disrespectful towards him. “Another thing that I would like to that is that my father did not come from an illustrious family. He’s been in this industry for 40 years and he has worked hard only for his children. If I don’t take advantage of his hard work, which he has done for us, I think I’d be a little disrespectful to his work and to what he is trying to do for us. Because every man or woman, a mother or a father works for their children,” she added.
