Alaya F speaks on Nepotism, its hidden layers and persistent struggle: “It’s such a fight to get movies that I want”

In a recent interview, Alaya F candidly discussed the prevalent topic of nepotism in the entertainment industry. The actress claimed her commitment to securing roles through merit and hard work, highlighting the effort she invests to attain the projects that resonate with her artistic vision.

Alaya F’s perspective adds a nuanced voice to the ongoing conversation surrounding opportunities and talent in the film industry. She says “Not all nepotism is the same either. There are so many layers and levels to it. I don’t have someone that’s calling the shots for me. I don’t have someone that’s going to guarantee to give me another big movie, even if, I do an awful job in one and then you see so many people that have grown up in this world. They have a certain ease at a party because they’ve grown up around all the people that are there. They know everyone so deeply, their parents are at the parties, which is wonderful. I wish my parents were also there. There’s a certain fear that’s not there and I still feel like I hold that fear very strongly with me. I’m not free of that fear.”

She further added “It’s such a fight to get movies that I want. It’s a fight to get meetings that I want sometimes. It’s a journey. Sometimes you feel like well, why is this happening to me? Why do I need to fight so much harder sometimes? Why do I need to consistently keep proving myself even when I feel that I have proved myself in so many ways? So, that’s a little weird sometimes. So to constantly remind yourself that you are good at what you do, and you are here to do something, and you just have to persist with it. I think that’s the hardest bit for me”.

Meanwhile, on the work front, she will next be seen in Sri alongside Rajkumar Rao.
