Raima
Sen,
daughter
of
actress
Moon
Moon
Sen
and
granddaughter
of
actress
Suchitra
Sen,
shared
her
opinion
on
the
ongoing
nepotism
debate.
She,
like
many
others,
pointed
to
the
fact
that
while
it
is
easy
getting
access
to
the
industry
for
star
kids,
it
does
not
ensure
success.
"Had
things
been
that
easier,
then
I
would've
been
the
top
actress,
too,"
said
Raima,
in
an
interview
with
Hindustan
Times.
She
admitted
that
she
got
her
first
break
because
of
her
mother.
"But,
that
was
it.
I
didn't
get
like
100
film
offers
immediately
after
that.
I
had
to
struggle,
and
I'm
still
trying
hard.
In
between,
I
went
to
Kolkata
and
worked
in
Bengali
films.
Bollywood
does
appreciate
regional
films
and
actors,
they
do
recognise
me
for
Chokher
Bali
(2002)
and
The
Japanese
Wife
(2010),
but
that
isn't
the
criteria
to
get
Bollywood
films.
You
constantly
need
to
prove
yourself," she
continued.
Raima
further
said
that
if
one
has
talent,
they
will
find
a
way.
"There
are
many
star
kids
who
couldn't
make
it.
You're
no
one
if
your
film
doesn't
work.
Star
kids
who've
survived
are
much
better
performers
than
many
others,
they
deserve
credit."
"So,
you
get
recognised
in
smaller
roles,
too.
You
can
cry
nepotism
and
all,
but
only
if
you
have
it
in
you,
you
get
it.
There's
no
two
ways
about
it.
Yes,
it's
difficult
to
make
it
in
Bollywood
but
it
isn't
easy
in
any
profession.
You
can't
think
I'll
become
number
one
without
having
to
do
anything.
If
you
want
to
be
a
part
of
Bollywood,
you've
to
deal
with
pros
and
cons," she
added.
Talking
about
work,
Raima
is
currently
exploring
the
web
space
and
shooting
for
two
web
series.
She
was
last
seen
in
a
Bengali
film
titled
Dwitiyo
Purush.
Her
last
appearance
in
a
Hindi
film
was
in
the
thriller
Vodka
Diaries,
which
also
starred
Kay
Kay
Menon,
Mandira
Bedi,
Sharib
Hashmi
and
others.
