Almost all the actors and filmmakers have spoken about the issue of nepotism that has been prevalent in the Hindi film industry. The next one in line is Tiku Talsania's daughter Shikha Talsania. She too had to say something about this debate and how her father never made any calls for her.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, she said, "When it comes to nepotism and my journey, yes my father is an insider given that he has worked for 40 years in the industry. But 2009 (Wake Up Sid) was my first film and 2018 was my seventh film (Veere Di Wedding) where I played my first ever lead role."
