Yash Raj Films Introduces Raj Kapoor’s Grandson Aadhar Jain, Twitterati Blames YRF For Promoting ‘Nepotism’

Even after the big debate on nepotism that raged through the nations a few months ago in Bollywood, Yash Raj Films decided to launch late actor Raj Kapoor’s grandson, Aadar Jain into the movies.

It all started when Kangana Ranaut appeared in the Koffee with Karan show and boldly slammed Karan Johar for being the ‘movie mafia’ who runs Bollywood. While Karan laughed at the moment but it soon took an ugly turn with both sticking to their point.

We had seen many star kids talking about nepotism and opposing it and made clear that they were ‘not favored’. From Sonakshi Sinha to Alia Bhatt, almost everyone spoke and echoed Karan Johar’s thoughts.

Aadar is the younger son of Rima Jain, Raj Kapoor’s daughter. He is also the cousin of Ranbir, Karisma and Kareena Kapoor. He has previously worked as the assistant director to Farah Khan on Happy New Year and Karan Johar on Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. To introduce him to the world, YRF used special Twitter cards, most of which talked about his heritage.

One even projected Raj Kapoor’s image on Aadar’s t-shirt.

Many actors like Anushka Sharma, Athiya Shetty, and even director Karan Johar welcomed Aadar in the industry.

However, Twitter was not kind to the ‘debutant’ and took his case, calling him and the banner out on giving unfair opportunities to sons and daughters of actors in the film industry. The infuriated commentators accused Aadar of using his Kapoor card to get into films:

Yash Raj Films is all set to introduce two new actors, Anya Singh and Aadar Jain who are all set to debut in Bollywood with Habib Faisal’s next. Introducing the two newbies.

Comedian Aditi Mittal was among the first to call out Yash Raj Films for harping on Jain’s lineage.
