Rangoli Questions Ranveer’s Outsider Status In Bollywood, Gets Mixed Reactions Online

It is no secret that nepotism is prevalent in Bollywood. Star kids are hailed as divas even before the release of their movies and they get plenty of opportunities to work with big production houses due to their names.

Recently, when Ananya Panday (daughter of actor Chunky Panday) tried to defend nepotism, Gully Boy’s MC Sher aka Siddhant Chaturvedi responded with a savage one-liner that clearly established the difference between an outsider and a star kid.

Now, Rangoli Chandel has joined the debate with her own two cents, reports News18. Sharing an old picture of a birthday party attended by Anil Kapoor, Ranbir, Sonam, and Ranveer Singh, she tweeted that Ranveer doesn’t qualify as an outsider due to the fact that his family has money and industry connections.

Many agreed with her and pointed out the fact that Ranveer is a distant cousin of Sonam Kapoor and has also studied in the USA. Some claimed that his father invested money in YRF to facilitate his debut.

I agree! Financially well to do people dont have worry about their accomodation,paying rents,money related issues. For me,true achievers are ppl like @iamsrk @Anushkasharma #KanganaRanaut @RajkummarRao etc. #RanveerSingh is definitely talented bt not a rags to riches story.

But others were not convinced. They responded by saying that Ranveer has proved his mettle time and again through sheer talent and versatility as an actor.

It is a well know fact that Ranveer Singh is the maternal third cousin of Sonam Kapoor. He may have got movies because of his contacts but he is still in the league and is one of the the finest actors in the Indian Cinema because of his talent and acting skills.

People don't go to theatre by looking at the background of an actor. An actor becomes a star only by public irrespective of his/her background and Ranveer Singh is a star.

The fame, the love, the blessings Ranveer has got from us is because of his talent and the way he worships his work. I guess you should stop targeting Ranveer Singh and do something productive with your time. God bless you.

Connections or not, no one can deny the actor’s screen presence, energy, and dedication, don’t you agree?
