And they are not some seasoned actors with chart-bursting filmographies, but debutants who are freshly stepping into the meander of the silver screen and the audience’s love or hatred.

In the last few years, viewers to critics have underscored the degradation of films in Bollywood with the debuts of nepo kids, grilled brutally for the set of expectations their parents have set.
