Laapataa Ladies sparks a debate on Nepotism VS Talent

Kiran Rao’s comedy-drama “Laapataa Ladies” has garnered extensive praise and generated significant discourse, attracting renewed interest following its release on Netflix. Starring Nitanshi Goel, Sparsh Shrivastava, Pratibha Ranta, Chhaya Kadam, and Ravi Kishan, the movie was co-produced by Kiran, Aamir Khan, and Jyoti Deshpande. Amid ongoing discussions surrounding nepotism and the presence of outsiders in Bollywood, promising newcomers are silently leaving their imprint.

Pratibha Ranta, originally from Shimla, captivated viewers with her performance as Jaya (Pushpa Rani) in “Laapataa Ladies,” embodying the contemporary Indian woman with resilience and self-reliance. Nitanshi Goel, a mere sixteen-year-old, marked her entry into Aamir Khan Productions through “Laapataa Ladies.” She commands a substantial following on Instagram and has participated in various projects, making a lasting impression with her depiction of Phool Kumari, exuding a genuine sense of innocence. Sparsh Srivastav took on the role of Deepak Kumar in the movie, portraying the torment of a husband separated from his wife with exceptional poise and emotional depth.

The netizens on social media opine that the skill exhibited by these individuals from outside the industry is a resounding blow to the concept of favoritism based on family connections. They also said that these talented youngsters surpass the abilities of well-known actors such as Sara Ali Khan, Tiger Shroff, Janhvi Kapoor, Ananya Pandey, Ahaan Shetty, Sooraj Pancholi, Saiee Manjrekar, and other individuals who have gained opportunities due to their familial ties. Despite their limited aptitude, these privileged individuals are repeatedly given opportunities to showcase their skills. On the other hand, talented outsiders like those in Laapataa Ladies seldom receive even a single chance to prove their worth.
