Actor Harshvardhan Rane, who is currently promoting his latest film Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, recently made headlines for his strong statement on nepotism in Bollywood. While visiting a theatre in Gujarat with his co-star Sonam Bajwa, the actor urged fans to support Ayushmann Khurrana’s film Thamma as well. During his speech, Harshvardhan mentioned that audiences have played a big role in ending nepotism, which quickly went viral online.

Fans on social media praised Harshvardhan Rane for being genuine and kind. Many called him “down to earth” and admired his sportsmanship for mentioning Ayushmann Khurrana’s film. One fan wrote, “He is the first actor to support others openly.” Another commented, “The audience has all the power. Actors should never forget that!” The positive response showed that people appreciated Harshvardhan’s honesty and respect for other artists.
However, not everyone agreed with his comment. Some users felt the “nepotism is finished” remark was too strong and unnecessary. A few said he should have avoided such statements during a film promotion event. One critic wrote, “Outsider vs Nepotism debate again! These statements create more drama than needed.” Despite mixed opinions, Harshvardhan’s comments succeeded in sparking an important discussion about fairness and talent in Bollywood.
