Anupam Kher: Nepotism debate has names associated now, can’t talk on it

Veteran actor Anupam Kher says talking about nepotism would mean either taking the side of Karan Johar or Kangana Ranaut as their name is now associated with the debate.

Kangana kick-started the debate in Bollywood by calling Johar the “flag bearer of nepotism” on his chat show, which led to a war of words between them.

Kher thinks his take on nepotism would have been entirely different if someone had asked him about it before this debate started.

“It’s a very generalised statement to make. Now, nepotism has names associated. If someone had asked me this question 20 days back I would have been able to tell something completely different,” Kher tells PTI.
