For Sonakshi Sinha, the nepotism debate in Bollywood is a pointless one. In an April interview with the Hindustan Times, the Dabangg star made the following statement:

A doctor’s child wants to become a doctor, nobody has an issue with it. It’s the same when a lawyer’s child becomes a lawyer, but if an actor’s child wants to become an actor, everyone has a problem with it. I don’t understand 

Redditors, powered with the ability to waste time without conscience, deconstructed what her comment really meant and whether it truly justified the old adage: “Because I can.”

Below listed are some of our best picks:

I am already starting to think she made the wrong comparisons.

Ding! One point to Sonakshi.

Sometimes I ask myself while watching one of these flashy new-kid-on-the-block movies: “Just why?”

At this stage, it is all as plain as monopoly.

There must be doctors without merits out there.

You might as just well jack off.

Oh, the feels... Thank you!

The whole ‘Bollywood nepotism’ hullabaloo hit the roof after Kangana Ranaut unabashedly called Karan Johar a “flag-bearer of nepotism” on the popular Koffee with Karan talk show. Despite cheeky attempts at pulling the rug over the debate, a lot of people are still angry at the fact they might have to sit through another torturous debut again.
