Everyone Should Relax and Stop Blaming Star Kids for Everything, Says Mrunal Thakur

Talking about nepotism, Mrunal said, “I never faced nepotism. Aisa kabhi nahi hua ki Janhvi (Kapoor), Sara (Ali Khan) or Ananya (Panday) got a film and not me. But there have been many rejections.”

She said that there were times when before her audition she was asked why she was wasting her time. She was also told that she didn’t look the part or was actor material. She said that these people never explained why they felt that way. It happened quite a few times and it did hurt, she admitted.

She further came to the defense of her contemporary actresses, saying, “Everyone should relax and stop blaming the star kids for everything. Many don’t know how much hard work they also put in. I’ve seen Ananya work really hard for Student of The Year 2 and even Janhvi for Dhadak. I know the stories. It’s not easy to lose your mum and shoot and give such a big hit.”
