Tanishaa Mukerji raises questions on outsiders’ loyalty

Tanishaa Mukerji says she believes in insiders’ industry growth, not outsiders’ loyalty.

Tanishaa’s anguish over Bollywood bashing

Tanishaa Mukerji recently opened up about how the constant bashing of Bollywood hurts her deeply.

She considers herself a “Bollywood baby” and has a deep love for the industry.

Nepo babies are often mocked, but Tanishaa wonders why their contributions are overlooked.

Desire to expand the industry

Tanishaa believes that people coming from film families focus on expanding the industry.

They believe in the well-being of the entire setup, not just acting or directing.

“Always first the industry, then ourselves,” she says, “this thinking takes us forward”.

Questioning the loyalty of outsiders

On the other hand, when it comes to stars coming from outside, Tanishaa considers them “without loyalty”.

She says that some people come to the film industry only to “take”, they do not have the spirit of “giving”.

This is what makes them great among insiders and outsiders.

Hope for others

Tanishaa hopes that with time, the artists coming from outside will also understand the depth of the industry.

“Maybe if their children come into films in the second generation, then they will think of ‘giving back’,” she suggested.

This will strengthen not only films but the entire film ecosystem.

Need for cooperation

Talking about inflation and theater concessions, she said that the government, producers and theater owners will have to find a solution together.

“Make India great again… Make In India—Bollywood is also India’s culture,” Tanishaa stressed. She is saddened that the industry does not get relief.

Role of family

Tanishaa’s Bollywood family has been very respected.

She is the daughter of veteran actress Tanuja and director Shomu Mukherjee, while her elder sister Kajol is also a star of the industry.

This background has made her aware of the responsibilities of the industry.

Sensitivity, not play

She says that film people do not just want stardom, but also care for their colleagues.

Be it stunt teams or set workers, insiders always work towards their upliftment.

She gives the example of Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn, who pay attention to the welfare of the crew.

Conclusion

When someone, even after becoming a “Bollywood baby”, worries about their future, then we should pay heed to them.

This sentiment of Tanishaa Mukerji shows that this is not just a game of glamour, but a shared family.

Hopefully, outsiders also adopt this spirit and take the industry to new heights.
