Actress Shaheera Jalil Albasit recently spoke about the prevalence of favouritism and nepotism in the country’s entertainment industry.
In an interview with ‘Something Haute,’ she shared her personal experiences with the issues.”Favouritism, nepotism, everything exists in the industry. It is there,” Albasit said, highlighting the widespread nature of these practices.
When asked if she had personal experiences with favouritism and nepotism, she admitted, “I have, especially at the beginning of my career, when I used to go for auditions, I would feel that.”
However, she noted that it can be difficult to pinpoint specific instances, as they often operate within the boundaries of industry rules and regulations. “But one cannot deny the privilege of nepotism. It simply means you are facilitated with all the resources since childhood, even if you don’t want them,” she explained.
“But I’ve also realized that this industry is very cut-throat and often hard work and effort of an individual take over their talent and all the other factors. So one must accustom oneself accordingly and if you have decided to join this industry, just be prepared to give your all to it to prove your mettle,” the actor concluded.
Currently, Albasit is starring in the popular drama serial ‘Burns Road Kay Romeo Juliet’ alongside Iqra Aziz and Hamza Sohail.
