One more day. One more trending story about nepotism. Yes, nepotism gives star kids an unfair advantage and there should certainly be a more even-playing field.
But perhaps what we aren't talking about is why (and how) we are obsessed with Bollywood stars to begin with.

Bollywood is not Indian cinema, in fact, 'Bollywood' isn't even all Hindi cinema. It is a glamorous & shiny ecosystem that, let's be honest, we, as Indians, can never get enough of. We've always been more interested in celebrities & the idea of 'stars' than in movies themselves.
Less than 5% Indians watch Bollywood films in theaters (true story) ,but it would seem more than 50% of us want 'Bollywood gossip', if we can have it.
The truth is: your parents know more about what's happening in Taimur's life than in yours. ONLY because he's a 'star kid'.
