New Delhi: Rakul Preet Singh, despite recently recovering from a back muscle injury that required bed rest, made a strong comeback and attended the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), where she shared her reflections during a masterclass session. When asked about nepotism, Rakul offered a pragmatic viewpoint that resonated with many.

She continued, emphasizing that nepotism isn’t necessarily about guaranteed success. “It’s like saying, that my dad is a top surgeon.. but he is like, mai tumko bikul nahi batauga ki tumhe mbbs me kese padhai karna hai (I won’t tell you at all how to study in MMBS). I mean No. That goes on In the country.. one generation works and the other generation definately benefits from it, but will they last well.. they will last only if they work hard enough.”
Her perspective reflects her belief in meritocracy and the importance of consistent effort in the industry. “Ultimately, you will last only if you deliver,” she concluded, underlining her faith in the power of hard work and talent to overcome any barriers.
