Archana Puran Singh comes out in support of nepotism: 'Bollywood people prefer to work with actors from film families'
Archana Puran Singh recently weighed in on the ongoing nepotism debate, sharing her perspective from personal experience. In a candid conversation with Ajay Devgn on her YouTube channel, she reflected on why filmmakers often place such high value on stardom when casting star kids. Professional habits often begin at home According to her, individuals who grow up in film families typically absorb a sense of discipline and professionalism from an early age. She suggested that this early exposure is valuable for their understanding of the expectations of this industry-whether it is punctuality, behavior on set, or, more importantly, understanding the hierarchy of a film crew. Ajay seemed to agree but added that children from the film industry often learn to keep a stronger line of delineation between acting as a craft and being a star. He meant to say that outsiders sometimes confuse talent with fame without understanding the journey required to hone one's skill. 2025: A year filled with debutante buzz The conversation coincided with a spate of star kid launches in 2025. Junaid Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Ibrahim Ali Khan, and Ahaan Panday all announced their arrival in the sparkling limelight. Ahaan was especially mentioned in the audience while saying 'Saiyaara', his film, which was a sleeper hit, had won much praise for emotional depth and presence. While the new entrants get mixed reaction online, the whole ruckus has completely blurred the fact that the public is always curious about industry legacies.
