After almost everyone in the Hindi film industry, the next one to talk about nepotism is the veteran writer and lyricist, Javed Akhtar. He says it's not possible for it to exist in the Hindi film industry and also states the reason why he thinks so.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, when asked about it, Akhtar said, "Inheritance cannot be called nepotism". He further adds, "I think people are confusing inheritance with nepotism. In film industry, nepotism is not possible because ultimately, the person who is buying the ticket at the box office is the voter and that cannot be rigged. May be somebody born in a film family has a foot in the door, but that's about all."
