Rakul Preet Singh Addresses Nepotism Concerns At IFFI 2024 Masterclass

She shared these insights during a masterclass at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), attending despite recovering from a back injury. Her views are shaped by her vast experience and success across multiple languages and genres.

"We make too much of it. Today if you have worked for so many years and tomorrow for my kids, will I not give them that access. It's like saying, that my dad is a top surgeon.. but he is like, mai tumko bikul nahi batauga ki tumhe mbbs me kese padhai karna hai (I won't tell you at all how to study in MMBS). I mean No. That goes on In the country.. one generation works and the other generation definitely benefits from it, but will they last well.. they will last only if they work hard enough.. which is why coming back to what he was saying… I feel like we make too much of it.. ultimately you will last only if you deliver."

Rakul's perspective highlights that while family connections can provide opportunities, enduring success relies on talent and effort. She acknowledges the benefits of lineage but stresses that hard work is crucial for sustained achievement in the entertainment world.

Her comments at IFFI reflect her dedication to her craft and belief in merit-based success. Rakul's approach resonates with many, emphasizing resilience and grace in navigating the film industry's challenges.

Looking forward, Rakul is set to engage audiences with several new projects. She will reprise her role alongside Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan in 'De De Pyar De 2', a sequel to the 2019 hit film. This promises an exciting reunion for fans of the original movie.

Following this, she will appear in 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' and 'Ameeri', showcasing her versatility and continuing influence in Indian cinema. These roles highlight her ability to explore diverse stories and characters.

Rakul Preet Singh's insights into nepotism underscore her commitment to excellence and meritocracy. As she takes on varied roles, her understanding of balancing industry complexities remains impactful.
