Vidya Balan, in an interview with Pinkvilla, shared her thoughts on nepotism, and the much-talked about Karan Johar-Kangana Ranaut spat.
“I personally haven’t experienced that [nepotism],” Vidya said, “I have absolutely no one in the film industry, but I did have the luxury of choice because I am a Bombay girl.”
Vidya also added that her family had been extremely supportive, and that she never had to run away from home.

It has been there in the animal kingdom, too. And that is how it operates. Not just in the film industry, but everywhere. Wherever people can, they will look out for their own people. But thankfully, I have been God’s favourite child.”
