Alia Bhatt is undoubtedly one of the most renowned Bollywood actresses in the current times. At a young age, she has done some fabulous work including films like Udta Punjab, Raazi, Dear Zindagi and Gully Boy, apart from others. But when she entered the film industry, she was touted as another star kid, considering she belongs to actor parents, Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan.

Now during a recent interaction during Outlook Business 'Women of Worth', Alia opened up on nepotism and said that while it does exist, 'it's important not to discard hard work'. She stated, "Nepotism exists in every  field. My thoughts on nepotism don't come from a negative place. If you know somebody from a certain field you will always help them. But having said that, I am so in love with acting and being an actor, I would be devastated if I never got the opportunity. So I am in no place to say that, 'Oh, they don't know what they are tallking about'. Or 'How can you say that'."

She further added, "Of course, it feels terrible if you feel that someone is getting an opportunity because of their family line. So there is no way to counter that thought. It does exist. But having said that, once you come into the foray, the audience chooses you. So if you are working, it's not just because you're getting lucky every time. There does go some hard work into that. Quite a lot of hard work."

Alia concluded by saying that she can't wake up say sorry being born in a filmy family, but she definitely tries to work as hard as possible to prove that she deserves to be here.
