Aditi Bhatia Gives Her Take On Nepotism
When asked about issues beyond nepotism within the industry that need improvement to drive higher progress, Aditi Bhatia said, “I feel industry ki na ek hawa hai, woh hawa agar thodi settle ho jaaye. Kyuki, it’s loads of glitz and glam. Par bas woh settle karke agar hum sirf craft ki baat karein, toh bahut saare outsiders insiders ban sakte hain. Kyunki woh ek glitz aur glamour ka hi ek filter hai joh ki log cross karne se kaafi ghabraate hain. Kyunki industry aapko intimidated feel karaati hai. Ab important toh khud ko kabhi outsider maanti hi nahi thi. Bachpan se hi nahi maanti thi kyunki mujhe lagta tha important sets pe badi hui hoon.”
She continued, “Matlab mujhe toh AD karne ki zarurat nahi padi set pe kyunki woh hustle-bustle toh is probably the most normal thing around me. Toh mujhe aisa kabhi laga hi nahi, but yeh bade hoke mujhe samajh mein aaya ki achha important outsider hoon aur aap insider ho. Toh mujhe toh ye concept kabhi nahi pata tha. But jab important doosre actors se milti hoon aur mujhe ek energy feel hoti hai, mujhe woh energy mein yahi feel hua hai ki they’re intimidated by the glitz and glamour and the next of certain actors.”

When asked about probably the most uncomfortable truth about Bollywood, Aditi said, “I feel the access. I feel individuals who have a network. Where they arrive from, they’ve access to certain things which loads of outsiders don’t have. So I feel that should be spoken about more. Principally, the access to the correct filmmakers. Because once that comes, you then can get moving with other things, you already know. So, that’s what I feel just isn’t spoken about lots.”
