Mumbai: Despite being the wife of a Bollywood star, Govinda’s wife Sunita Ahuja has thrown shade on the film industry for lobbying and not giving equal opportunity to fresh talents.
While discussing nepotism in Bollywood, Sunita told Hindi Rush that only a group of privileged star kids get an opportunity to work in the industry.
Highlighting the struggles faced by her daughter Tina, Sunita said that though she is eager to work in films, she is being overlooked by filmmakers.
“Agar uske liye achha kaam aata hai, toh wo kyu nahi karegi? Aap log mauka toh do kaam karne ka. Nepotism band karo na. Doosre logon ko bhi kaam karne ka mauka to do. Aap ek hi group mein sabko…wohi group mein kaam hota hai. Baahar bhi toh dekho, log aur bhi baithe hain. Abhi bhi she is open to work. Kaam milega, woh karegi, usko shauk bhi hai bohot kaam karne ka. (If she gets a good opportunity, then why wouldn’t she do it? Give her the opportunity to work. Stop nepotism. Give other people a chance to work too. Only a select group of star kids get work. Look outside, there are others too. Tina is open to work. If she gets work, she will do it. She is also very fond of working),” Sunita said.
She further divulged that only people who are a part of ‘groups’ can survive and get work into Bollywood, while the others will be ignored.
“Abhi ek hi actor ko aap kitni baar dekhoge.” (How many times will you see the same actor?),” she added.
Tina Ahuja made her Bollywood debut with ‘Second Hand Husband’ in 2015. She has also featured in music videos namely ‘Milo Na Tum’ (2019) and ‘Driving Me Crazy’ (2020).
