Debutante actress Sharmin Segal, who is gearing up for the release of her film Malaal, says that nepotism exists everywhere including Bollywood and that, star children are usually under more pressure to prove their worth than outsiders.

Asked about her opinion on nepotism, Sharmin, who is the niece of filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, told media: "Yes, there is nepotism in Bollywood but also in every (other) field. Whether you are an actor, a doctor or someone, maybe you want to follow your father's footsteps. Yes, it is true that if you know people from the film industry, you get access but at the same time the expectation is high, therefore, we have to put in extra hard work. So yes, we have to work sincerely, and should not be misusing our opportunity."
