Ahan Shetty admits he has had it easier in Bollywood because of his father Suniel Shetty; calls himself ‘product of nepotism’ | Hindi Movie News

Suniel Shetty’s son Ahan Shetty recently called himself the ‘product of nepotism’ as he spoke about how easy it has been for him in the industry because his father is a Bollywood actor.

In an interview with a news portal, Ahan said that he accepts that he is a product of nepotism. He also admitted that as his father is an actor, he had it easier. However, he also added that at the end of the day, everyone has to work hard. According to him, to be in this industry you have to work really hard.

Elaborating further, Ahan also added that he is very happy and honoured to be a part of this industry, and he doesn’t want to take advantage of it. So he is just going to work hard and keep his head down.

Earlier, Suniel had also opened up about the nepotism debate. In an interview with ETimes, the senior Bollywood actor had said, “This whole talk about nepotism hurts. It is something that is there in every field. Is my son or daughter not allowed to dream of becoming an actor just because their father is an actor? Does that mean the dream of that child needs to be squashed? An industrialist’s son dreams of taking over the business after his father. Is that dream wrong? A kid sees all the love their parents received from their fans. Is it wrong of them to want the same for themselves? People run to the best school and try all their influences to get their child admission. Is that wrong too? I don’t know where this is coming from.”

Ahan made his big Bollywood debut with ‘Tadap’ co-starring Tara Sutaria. The film received mixed reviews from the audience and the critics alike.
