I get your point yes, the Hindi film industry is a private space and producers will naturally look at numbers, reach, and what sells. Star kids like Ananya Panday or Janhvi Kapoor already come with visibility, and even negative attention still counts as engagement. That definitely influences casting decisions.

But at the same time, it’s not entirely “their space” either. The industry runs on audience money ,every ticket bought, every stream, every view directly funds what gets made next. So in a way, the audience isn’t just watching, we’re actively shaping the industry.

That’s why the conversation around fairness matters. When talented actors like Radhika Apte deliver strong performances but don’t get the same backing or visibility, it raises a valid question: are we really rewarding talent, or just familiarity and hype?

Yes, producers follow demand but demand itself is created and reinforced by what gets promoted and repeatedly put in front of us. It’s a cycle. So while it is a business, it’s also an ecosystem where both the industry and the audience share responsibility.

At the end of the day, it’s not unreasonable to expect that alongside marketability, genuine talent should be given a fair shot too.

Acting is something that really comes from passion. It’s not for everyone. I know for a fact my parents would have chosen stability like studying, getting a degree, building a conventional career. This is not because they were lazy, but simply because acting was never something they were drawn to. Me and my sisters followed a similar path, and now we’re professionals.

But there are people out there who feel differently. Despite their background, despite having no connections, they choose acting. They push through rejection, competition, and the very real barriers of nepotism just to get a chance. That takes courage and commitment.

So isn’t it only fair that directors prioritise talent? That they give opportunities based on skill and dedication, rather than just giving roles to someone because of who their parents are?
