In an interview, the actor opened up about nepotism and favouritism in Bollywood.?

He told Humans Of Bombay, "There is a certain segment of actors, who are a little more privileged than the other segment. Yes, I am talking about kids connected to the film industry. Then there are people who are not connected to the industry. I can’t complain, the film industry has given me a lot, and I love it and I thank them all the time."

He also said that every morning he thanks Joy Augustine, Jaya Bachchan, and Amitabh Bachchan as because of them he has got what he has got. So, he has nothing against the industry but he said that nepotism is a norm and probably he would do the same thing with his kids.
