Give everything u hv to ur children,hv u heard of live & let live?Why Bully someone’s daughter wen u love your own so much?Why did you call her to ur house& threaten her ? Pls ans this."

In the video, Javed Akhtar is seen acknowledging that nepotism exists and said, "If I have money, I am putting money on my son, this is nepotism? Then every industry there is nepotism." On the other hand, Farhan Akhtar said, "If you are very talented, your talent will find a way to the surface. That is bound to happen."
