Over the years, the conversation around nepotism has been rampant regarding star kids. Aadar Jain is the son of Manoj Jain and Rima Jain. The latter is the legendary actor Raj Kapoor's daughter. Recently, the Qaidi Band actor opened up on why he does not view himself as a "product of nepotism".
What's Happening
- In a recent conversation with Etimes, Aadar Jain got candid about how the nepotism debate does not stand true for him.
- He further elaborated on how he has had to combat several obstacles and how his cinematic lineage has not made it easy for him to find a footing in the industry.
- Aadar Jain told Etimes, "People discuss nepotism, but I haven't reaped its rewards. Sure, I am Raj Kapoor's grandson, and I am cousins with Kareena and Ranbir Kapoor, but that doesn't mean I get to star in 50 films a year or continuously sign brand deals and endorsements. Sadly, in that regard, I haven't been a product of nepotism."
- He added, "It hasn't been simple. It has been a challenge. I have auditioned at numerous places. I've faced many rejections. Coping with those rejections is tough. I am passionate about my work. So, when you're not able to engage in what you love frequently, it certainly stings. The goal is to keep getting back up and motivating yourself."
- He concluded by saying that he looks at all these challenges as life lessons. He also added that it has taken him time to secure his third project, which was Hello Charlie.

In A Nutshell
