Kangana
Ranaut's
shocking
revelation
about
the
existence
of
neoptism
in
Bollywood,
the
topic
has
heated
a
debate
on
the
social
media
and
many
Bollywood
celebrities
are
being
asked
their
views
on
the
same.
The
latest
B-town
actress
to
talk
about
it
is
'Anaarkali
Of
Aarah'
actress
Swara
Bhaskar.
In
an
interview
with
Indian
Express,
she
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
think
more
than
nepotistic,
Bollywood
operates
on
relationships.
It's
not
a
sarkari
organisation
holding
exams
where
you
get
through
on
the
basis
of
merit.
It's
feudal
in
its
nature
where
certain
people
have
the
power
to
make
casting
calls
hence
relationships
matter.
Of
course
it
matters
if
you
are
a
star
child.
But
look
at
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
he
is
the
biggest
star
and
he
is
an
outsider.
So
is
Deepika
(Padukone),
Priyanka
Chopra
and
Kangana.
Talent
doesn't
remain
hidden
in
the
industry."
Swara
also
spoke
about
her
character
Anaarkali
that
she
plays
in
her
upcoming
film
and
revealed,
"Anaarkali
walks
a
very
thin
line
between
what
is
realistic,
tacky,
sleazy
and
gimmicky.
Yet
she
has
to
make
a
comment
about
what's
happening
around
her
socially
and
politically.
But
she
is
also
angry
at
the
injustice
meted
out
to
her."
Earlier,
the
film
was
in
a
lot
of
news
when
a
few
leaked
scenes
from
the
movie
found
their
way
to
the
Internet
and
the
makers
have
even
lodged
a
FIR
regarding
the
same
at
Malviya
police
station
in
Delhi.
Reacting
to
it,
Swara
had
said,
"I
hope
it
doesn't
affect
the
business
of
the
film.
It's
definitely
a
good
film.
It
is
a
story
that
should
be
told
and
heard.
There
is
no
cheap
purpose
behind
the
film.
Men
should
watch
the
film
but
not
for
whistling
or
clapping."
