Mumbai: Reality TV often serves as a platform for unfiltered conversations, and Bigg Boss 18 contestant Kashish Kapoor recently created a stir with his candid comments on nepotism in the film industry. During a conversation in the Bigg Boss house, Kashish highlighted the glaring disparity between the opportunities given to star kids and those given to outsiders, sparking widespread discussion online.
In a clip now going viral, Kashish shared his views on how deserving talent often overshadows the industry’s preference for insiders. He commented, “Man, Yami Gautam is so talented. Do you look up to him as much as you look up to Janhvi Kapoor? Janhvi Kapoor is very beautiful, thanks to the work she has done on her face, but have you seen Yami Gautam doing work like Janhvi?”
Kashish did not hold back and detailed how the industry uses PR machinery to bring star kids into the limelight. He said, “Suhana Khan hasn’t made a film yet, she got Maybelline. Ananya Pandey has been seen in Koffee with Karan. No one has been seeing people like Radhika Apte and Yami Gautam working for so many years.
Kashish told that the reason why the audience is more familiar with star kids is not their talent but the heavy promotion. “People say that they watch the work of star kids. But that’s because their PR is happening. Outsiders don’t have this because they have neither money nor family. It’s a cycle that people fail to understand,” she said.
Fans appreciate Kashish’s bold stance
Kashish’s comments have impressed fans, who have praised him for addressing an issue that has long plagued the entertainment industry. Many viewers took to social media to highlight her courage and agree with her comments, calling her a voice for outsiders.
Known for her fiery personality and no-nonsense attitude, Kashish Kapoor quickly became a fan favorite in Bigg Boss 18. His statements on nepotism reflect the broader debate within the industry about fair opportunities and the need for a level playing field for all actors.
As the season progresses, Kashish’s unfiltered takes are loving the audience, proving that Bigg Boss is not just about drama – it is also a platform to raise important issues.
