Ever
since
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
breathed
his
last,
the
debate
around
nepotism
has
gripped
the
entire
film
industry.
Whenever
a
film
starring
any
star
kid
gets
announced
on
social
media,
it
receives
hatred
in
bulk.
Speaking
to
a
leading
daily,
when
actress
Pranutan
Bahl,
granddaughter
of
the
legendary
actress
Nutan
and
daughter
of
Mohnish
Bahl,
opened
up
about
the
hot
debate
and
said
she
wishes
audiences
could
learn
the
individual
stories
of
star
kids.
"I
feel
a
little
strange
about
it,
and
wish
people
didn't
feed
into
sensationalism
so
much.
I
wish
they
would
ask
us
our
individual
stories."
Pranutan,
who
made
her
Bollywood
debut
with
Notebook,
further
said
that
she
never
told
anybody
that
she
belonged
to
a
film
family,
because
she
wanted
to
know
the
brutal
opinion
of
casting
directors.
"I
didn't
want
any
'how
can
we
say
no
to
her'
or
'we
have
to
call
her
for
a
second
round'.
I
don't
lie
to
myself,
I
don't
want
to
be
in
a
cocoon.
Notebook
was
a
five
hour
audition,
it
was
not
easy," added
Bahl.
Pranutan
also
revealed
that
many
believe
that
Salman
Khan
cast
her
because
of
his
friendship
with
Mohnish
Bahl,
but
the
reality
is
completely
opposite.
Pranutan
said
Salman
knew
nothing
about
her
casting,
and
learnt
from
his
team.
"He
called
dad
and
said,
'You
are
dead,
your
daughter
is
going
to
be
a
heroine,
it
was
a
good
enough
audition!' That's
when
he
(Salman)
also
got
to
know.
As
far
as
the
nepotism
debate
therefore
is
concerned,
I
don't
know,"
stated
the
27-year-old
actress.
She
further
said
that
people
are
quick
to
judge
star
kids,
but
she
can't
help
if
they
refuse
to
believe
the
real
story.
"Everybody
has
their
own
journey,
even
if
a
film
is
produced
for
them
by
family
members.
I'm
not
glorifying
my
journey.
I
chose
this
for
myself.
I
don't
understand
when
there
are
times
I
told
people
my
journey,
and
they
say
'what
rubbish,
you
are
lying'.
If
you
want
to
believe
in
masala
stories,
then
what
can
I
do?," said
Pranutan.
