Jaideep Ahlawat Praises Alia Bhatt For Her Professionalism, Questions Labeling Her “Nepo Kid”

Alia Bhatt has established herself as one of Bollywood’s most talented actresses, impressing audiences with her versatile performances from an early age. However, being the daughter of renowned filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, she often finds herself at the center of the ongoing nepotism debate.

Jaideep Ahlawat, who worked alongside Alia Bhatt in Raazi, recently came to her defense, praising her dedication to her craft. In a conversation with ANI, he pointed out that star kids face their own struggles, despite the privileges they may have. He questioned the fairness of constantly labeling her a “nepo kid,” emphasizing that she had no control over the circumstances of her birth.

He further explained that growing up in a film-oriented environment naturally gives a child a deeper understanding of the industry, just as the child of a doctor might be more familiar with medicine. Constantly reminding them of their background, he argued, could be frustrating and unfair.

Reflecting on his experience working with Alia Bhatt in Raazi, Jaideep Ahlawat praised her professionalism and preparation. He recalled how her dedication was evident on set and credited her hard work for her standout performance in the film.

Meanwhile, Jaideep Ahlawat has been making waves with his role as Hathi Ram Choudhary in Paatal Lok 2 and is rumored to join the upcoming season of Family Man alongside Manoj Bajpayee. Alia, last seen in Jigra with Vedang Raina, is gearing up for Alpha, a spy thriller featuring Sharvari and Bobby Deol. She will also reunite with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s highly anticipated Love And War.
