Ritesh Deshmukh is at the center of a fresh nepotism flare-up: is he a self-made star or a product of his father’s status? The debate splits audiences into two camps, with benchmarks like Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Tusshar Kapoor tossed into the mix. [1]
Ritesh Deshmukh and the nepotism debate — Supporters say his father’s connections opened doors, but critics argue he still earned his spot with timing, comic chops, and by reviving the Marathi film scene through his production work. [1]
Kiara Advani — motherhood pause and career rhythm — The chatter circles her shift from back-to-back hits to a looming lull in big-budget projects. Some point to industry churn, others to the life event of motherhood shaping project choices. [2]
Bottom line: in Bollywood, the “self-made” myth versus dynastic privilege remains a live thread, shaping careers at crossroads like debut doors and life events alike.
