Tusshar Kapoor says he as soon as waited 12-14 hours for Kareena Kapoor; reveals purpose for writing ebook: ‘Wanted to prove star kids aren’t dumb dropouts’

In the previous few years, the phrases ‘nepotism’ and ‘star kids’ have virtually change into cuss phrases for the Bollywood business. While many choose to distance themselves from the talk concerning the privileges of star children, others proceed to supply their ideas on it and the most recent movie star to debate the topic is Tusshar Kapoor. The actor, who’s Jeetendra’s son, says star children don’t have it simple, opposite to common notion.

Speaking to Divya Dutta on the second day of the Khushwant Singh Literary Festival at Kasauli, Tusshar stated that he considers himself an outsider as properly. “A red carpet is not laid out for every star kid. While shooting for my debut film, Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai, I had to wait for my co-star and another star kid Kareena Kapoor Khan for 12-14 hours as she was simultaneously working on four films. Her first film was yet to release but such was the demand for her that she had already signed all these films.”  Tusshar added that he needed to dispel the favored notion that ‘star kids are dumb dropouts’, which is why he wrote a ebook.

He stated, “After my son came into my life, everybody – be it acquaintances, media persons, colleagues or friends – would ask me: How do you manage? So, I decided to publish a book on the subject. Besides, the general perception is that star kids are dumb drop-outs, who can hardly string two words together and I wanted to prove that that’s not true.” Tusshar welcomed his son Lakshya through surrogacy in 2016.

In an interview to The Indian Express in June, Tusshar had stated that he had made his personal path: “I was launched in a film which wasn’t a home production. The films which I did were very different, unlike what my father did, be it Golmaal, Khakee, Shor in the City or Dirty Picture. I’ve always taken all the discussions around being a star son or expectations very superficially. The audience needs to judge you and like you. What a few people talk is not important. What the larger diaspora thinks is what matters. It’s okay to have your own place. You don’t have to be like someone else.”
