    Arsalan Naseer says a nepo baby hijacked his project with Ayeza Khan

    In the Pakistani drama industry, celebrity children often get special treatment. Actor Arsalan Naseer, who debuted in the 2021 series ‘Chupke Chupke’, recently talked about his run-in with nepotism.

    Naseer took to his Instagram Stories for a candid Q&A session with fans earlier this week. In his honest style, Naseer openly discussed how he, too, has been affected by the widespread issue of nepotism.

    A fan eagerly wrote to Arsalan Naseer, “Please work with Ayeza Khan… That too with the main lead and a happy ending.” Sharing this fan’s comment on his Instagram Story, the actor revealed some behind-the-scenes drama.

    “I was working with her, but they took an actor’s son instead and kicked me off the project. After a while, Ayeza left as well,” he stated. Naseer highlighted how the industry often favors star kids over talented actors, depriving fans of what could have been a great on-screen partnership.

    Director Sofia Coppola and her husband singer Thomas Mars are known for being a power couple in Hollywood. The notoriously private pair have two daughters. Coppola, who is the daughter of ‘The Godfather’ director, Francis Ford Coppola, revealed in an interview that she wants her daughters to live a normal childhood without the pressures of fame.

    Yesterday, Coppola’s daughter, Romy Mars, took social media by storm with a 50 second TikTok video where she revealed that her parents had grounded her after she tried to board a helicopter from New York to Maryland in order to visit her camp friend. She also further revealed her babysitter’s boyfriend in the video who was helping her make a pasta, and called them her “replacement parents”, because Coppola and Mars were never around.

    Although the video has since been deleted, Twitter users are crowning Mars as “nepo baby of the year” and saying that the video was proof that the powerful storytelling capabilities of Coppola and her father are reflected through her.
