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." Zoya added, "If I am a barber and I have a barber shop, am I going to leave it to my son or am I going to leave it to the best barber in the city? And that’s the bottom line."

She had earlier told Pinkvilla, "Once Javed Akhtar had called me to his house and told me that Rakesh Roshan and his family are very big people. If you don’t apologise to them, you will have nowhere to go. They will put you in jail, and eventually, the only path would be that of destruction…you will commit suicide.
