Son of Marathi actress Anjana Mumtaz, actor Ruslan Mumtaz was interacting with NewsHelpline during shoot of a music video Tera Ishq Bada Hain Meetha.
We asked Ruslan about his stand on Nepotism debate and the difference between a star kid or non-star kid, in terms of working, he said, “Star kids are well groomed, I mean since childhood they see their parents working in the industry and pick up things fast. They know all the right people, and they know about everything, from eating right, to keeping fit, so, they are well groomed. Given the fact that most of our stars are good looking, their kids are also good looking. I don’t think nepotism is such a bad thing. People who are talented and doesn’t hail from star family, becomes star with time and work, best example is Shah Rukh Khan”
“I think people crying about Nepotism are sour grape, they are one who couldn’t hack in, hence the crying” added Ruslan.
Industry recently lost its gem, singer Lata Mangeshkar and Ruslan believe she wasn’t just a singer, she was angel living among mortals.
He said, “Lata Mangeshkar was a living angle, I cannot call her a legend, she was beyond legend, she was really an angle, living on earth, especially in India. There are so many accolades that our country has won, because of her talent, beautiful voice, and songs. It has been a great honour to live in the same era as her, all I can say is farewell and I hope she keeps on looking down on our film industry and music industry with her love and blessings”
Ruslan features on Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke serial, which airs on Star Plus. It is a spin-off of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, also starring Rhea Sharma and Shaheer Sheikh.
