Suchitra Krishnamoorthi Asks, Should Kids Change Parents To Avoid Nepotism Label?

MUMBAI- Actress Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, known for her outspoken nature, shared her candid thoughts on the ongoing chatter around nepotism.

She explained that her daughter, Kaveri, who has also ventured into showbiz, is constantly anxious due to the negativity and constant scrutiny directed at celebrity children. “Kaveri is very conscious because of the constant bullying and stalking and all that happens with star kids. So, I think she’s also very careful that she wants to do things and achieve it all in her own way and on her own merit,” Suchitra said.

Talking about the constant debate over nepotism, Suchitra called it “rubbish.” She questioned the basis of the criticism, asking, “What are the star kids supposed to do? Change their parents just because some random person is getting upset because he decided that his life is miserable and started putting down those who had something better in life than him?”

She continued her defense, stating: “Where you’re born is, what can you do about it? And you should be proud of wherever you come from. I came from a completely different background. I never cursed my parents for not being celebrities.”

Suchitra further asserted that individuals should focus on their own capabilities. “Everybody has their own ability, and you should make the best of what you have rather than curse what somebody else has. This has become a culture of hate. It’s silly!”

Talking about it further, Suchitra stated that success is not guaranteed for children from film families. “The beginning is always much easier for them, but ultimately it’s their journey,” she said. “I mean, otherwise, every superstar’s kid would have been a superstar. But there’s no superstar’s kid who’s such a superstar. You know what I am saying? It’s very hard because regardless of your parents, every individual, every person, has their own destiny.” (IANS)
