New Delhi:
The Saturday ‘Ka Vaar ‘weekend reality show episode Bigg Boss 14, the host of the show Salman Khan interacted with all the contestants. The episode began with Salman Khan expressing his thoughts aloud and one of the topics he raised was nepotism. Salman trained candidate Rahul Vaidya on nepotism after singer addressed Jaan Kumar Sanu (son of veteran singer Jaan Sanu) as a product of “nepotism” during an episode earlier this week. Salman Khan, started the discussion by asking Rahul Vaidya that if someone’s parents did something for the child, would it be called “nepotism”?
Later, Salman Khan gave several examples to prove his point. The actor asked Rahul Vaidya if he liked actor Sanjay Dutt (son of deceased actors Sunil Dutt and Nargis) and added: “Tell me, Rahul, do you love Sanjay Dutt? His father Dutt Sahab launched it but this movie didn’t work as much as Love story made. But Sanju Baba continues to reign. He then asked Rahul Vaidya, “Did Raj Kapoor wrong by throwing Rishi Kapoor?” Was Dharmendra wrong in casting Sunny Deol? They launched their own child and also launched so many other children. Citing the example of Ajay Devgn whose father Veeru Devgan was action director, he added: “Ajay Devgn is one of the biggest stars today. “
Salman Khan’s examples were not limited to people with a film background. The actor also spoke about stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Jackie Shroff and Akshay Kumar, who had no connection in the industry but still managed to grow taller. “Mehnat ke dum by ye sab 20-30 saal tike hue hai (They’ve been here for so long because of their hard work), ”Salman said.
Salman pointed out that if one has the talent, he or she will last, regardless of their background. “Jisme woh baat hai, wo chalega, aur jisme baat nahi hai wo ghar ki tijori, maata-pita ki tijori khaali karke jayega (The one with talent will support in the industry, and the one who will not.) “
The actor added, “But in this industry, you can’t survive like that. People only survive with the love, talent and hard work of the audience.”
Here’s a snippet of what Salman Khan said in Sunday’s episode of Bigg Boss 14:
For the uninitiated, Jaan Kumar Sanu, took a spot on the trend list last week after his compatriot and singer Rahul Vaidya nominated him for deportation, calling it a product of “nepotism.” When appointing Jaan, Rahul Vaidya said, “I would like to appoint Jaan Kumar Sanu because I hate nepotism. Whoever came on the show, they came on the basis of their hard work. Jaan is on the show because he’s someone’s son. “
Responding to Rahul’s “nepotism” remark, Jaan said, “I’m lucky my Mr. Kumar Sanu is my father. Not everyone is so lucky. It’s a pity for you.” He later explained that his parents separated when he was very young and that he was raised by his mother.
