'Kangana Ranaut Came Out With The Idea Of Nepotism'

"Kangana (Ranaut) came out with the idea of nepotism, and then it got big, and everyone started talking about it. Yes, it's there, but it doesn't bother me. My heart tells me at the end of the day it's about how talented you are and that's how far you will go," he told Filmygyan.
