- She refuted the idea that familial connections are necessary.
- She acknowledged favoritism in the entertainment industry.
Renowned actress Sonya Hussain has recently addressed claims of nepotism in Pakistan’s entertainment industry during her appearance on the Afterhour show with Ushna Shah. Hussain refuted the idea that familial connections are necessary for success in the industry. “It is not necessary to have family ties to make a place in the industry. These are all excuses, you should do your work,” she asserted.
While acknowledging the presence of favoritism, Hussain dismissed the notion of systemic nepotism, stating, “There is no such thing as nepotism in the industry, or only fair color is preferred, but one who knows how to work can make his place based on his work.”
Hussain also challenged the complaints of artists who claim they are unable to secure roles or opportunities due to nepotism or bias. “People only make excuses that they are not getting work, jobs are given based on nepotism in the industry or only fair complexion is preferred,” she said.
The actress emphasized that hard work is crucial for success and encouraged newcomers to focus on their craft rather than making excuses.
