Actress Ankita Lokhande candidly discussed the issue of ‘groupism’ within Bollywood, shedding light on the industry’s inner workings during a recent podcast with YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner, Elvish Yadav. The conversation, which took an intriguing turn, highlighted the dynamics of favoritism, and the challenges faced by outsiders in Bollywood. Lokhande, sharing her insights on how the industry operates, said, “Not biased, but yes, there are people who want to take their own people forward.
There’s groupism,” emphasizing that while there isn’t overt bias, there’s a clear preference for working with known associates. A post shared by Ankita Lokhande Jain (@lokhandeankita) The discussion took a pointed turn when Elvish Yadav humorously interjected, “Karan Johar ko aisa mat bolo,” suggesting that the director-producer was often at the heart of such conversations about favoritism in Bollywood. This comment led to a swift response from Lokhande, who clarified, “Everyone is like that, not just Karan.
I think everyone has their own group,” defending Johar by broadening the scope of the issue to the entire industry. Her husband, Vicky Jain, also chimed in by noting, “People in the film industry prefer to work with people they already know and therefore do not want to give a chance to an outsider.” The podcast episode has reignited discussions on social media about the inclusivity and fairness in Bollywood’s casting practices.
