Shakti Arora talks about nepotism in TV industry
Shakti is the grandson of actor-producer-director Chandrashekhar. His grandfather has acted in movies like Kati Patang, Ramayan, Burning Train and more. He has also produced many movies. Shakti’s father Naresh Kumar Arora worked in CINTAA.
However, Shakti said that all this background never helped him. He said he did not get any opportunity because of his grandfather and when he told his grandfather that he wants to act, his grandfather told him to do MBA and get a job.
Shakti’s grandfather told him he could not act
His grandfather told him that he is not worth acting and he can never act. Shakti felt this was a slap on his face as being from a family from the industry, he was not promoted. He had other relatives from the industry and they did try for him but it didn’t work.
Hence, he carved his own path and did not use the name of his family. He said he started from the scratch by doing one day one role, body doubles and other small roles. However, when he did his first show as the lead, his grandfather told him that he is a natural actor.
