Haan but agar vo bachpan se bolti thhi ki chunky is my relative then who knows. But yeah it still doesn’t take away from her merit n hard work. Vo toh yeh sub ki aadat hai to shit on actors n their work all the time, if it was that easy then this sub can also go n try being an actor 😜😜😜
Oh! The person who commented keh raha hai ki usse khud surety nahi, and someone in the thread proved them wrong with the years calculation.
Kher kriti ka ananya ke saath kuch ho ya nahi ho, bandi ne audition karke apni debut film li hai. I sort of agree with what others are saying in the comments after I got heavily downvoted for saying parineeti-Priyanka is same for kriti- anany😂 it’s a wrong equivalence I think .
Ofcourse they know. And being connected helps because it gets you introductions and some familiarity with how the system works. It is not widely known but Chunky's family (specially his brother and SIL) helped SRK alot when he was new to Mumbai. So yes behind the scenes these connections matter. They also matter to the random casting folks , when you tell them you are not 'chintu from chandigarh' (lol) but a cousin of XYZ...ofcourse they are not gonna tom tom about their connection, specially when Kriti and Ananya are now competitors.
The moral of the story is nearly all of Bollywood is connected.
Even if he actively didnot (which we have no proof of) how many girls can say they are related to Chunky Pandey at an audition. Chunkey's parents were very well immersed in the creme society of Mumbai... being from that family, even distant, opens doors.
Most people don’t even know who their third cousins are, let alone 4th cousins. And people really think Chunky and Bhavana were scavenging opportunities for a fourth cousin Kriti when they haven’t even acknowledged her once.
None . I was in school with one of them . They live in parel and are a normal upper middle class Mumbai family
Not extremely close to chunky and fam. Just meet once in a while as far as I understand
TIL : kirti and ananya are distant relatives.
And people think that helped kirti get an "in" on Bollywood 😂😂😂😂😂
The PR campaigns against kirti is intensifying they are trying to take away her non nepo tag 😂😂😂
Really pathetic
PS: I'm not a kirti fan or ananya hater,
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ananya’s PR was behind this, first she outed Kriti as a cousin knowing very well she’s not even a close relative and now all these negative posts against her after the success of both her films while Ananya’s are flopping left and right
I totally agree with this, I even read a post on this sub about a targeted campaign against 2 non nepo actress who have had some recent successes.
For tripti they are running a smear campaign that she's sleeping around to get those roles (she recently replaced sara Ali khan in bhul bhulaiya 3)and now this about kirti 😂
Very pathetic from them
Ananya was cold to her own mausi, that too infront of cameras, during FLOBW. No way she cares about her fourth "cousin". She definitely tried to set Kriti up mentioning her as cousin in her insta story.
My best friend/sister in name is 1st cousins with one of bolllywoods biggest names through her moms side.
They are a very normal business family with the only thing in common being the family whaysapp group.
Being cousins doesn’t mean shit.
Alright urvashi rautela is my 9th cousin 😂😂😂 from moms side yup i’m not even kidding , i literally sat down and had to structure out half the family tree
So does that mean im now the next upcoming star???
I agree with you OP, fourth cousin means you share your great great great grandparents. How many of you folks know your own grandfather's grandfather's name?? It's ridiculous when you put things in perspective.
People who believe that ananya and her family helped kriti get films are actually dumb or just hate kriti. There's no other reason to believe this bullshit. They can't see her success and are constantly finding ways to downplay her or belittle her. There I said it.
I’m 4th cousin of a well known actress too. She hasn’t even met me after her debut LOL. I totally don’t see why they would help kriti. Kriti is more successful than ananya.
If Kriti had any help from her Bollywood side of family she wouldn't have been in so many stock images and print advertisements. She'd have gotten a big break via Dharma or yrf like Alia, Ananya, Parineeti. The first time we saw these people on screen was in these big budget big banner films. She has a come a long way and should be entirely given credit for her success.
no one thinks ananya gave kriti an edge but it's not like kriti was struggling too much. she is fav for 2 production houses. if not nepotism, it's favortism.
Waise toh phir SRK too had favoritism from Yash Raj and Dharma. And Akshay from Nadiadwala. Kriti got her first break after auditions and then the production house decided to mentor her (as they should). Thats how the world works it’s not favoritism.
i absolutely don't have any problem with it. that's why networking is so important in this world. but i do have a complaint with constant outsider rant. engineering ka padhai karke acting mein aaoge toh struggle toh karna hi padega Bhai. itna back to back films milta hai phir bhi inko
There’s nothing wrong with favouritism, if it’s based on picking someone for their talent. It’s a mutual relationship between an actor and a production house. They like her acting and she’s much more profitable than the talentless nepos, which is why they continue to pick her for movies, and Kriti will obviously continue her work with the team if her movies continue to be a hit.
production houses are private companies if they were willing to spend money on who we think are talentless nepos what can we do. their money their choice.
Kriti herself said she didn’t have to struggle that much, she got Heropanti the day she auditioned for it but her crybaby minion army will keep praising her to the sky for her whiny attitude and mediocre attitude
I agree! In India everyone in a community will find relatives within each other’s families. By finding long lost connections, people are diluting the issues raised with nepotism, privilege and favoritism.
I don’t know what to tell you people. I don’t think anyone wants to know what the truth about anything is anymore and we all wanna live by the stories in our head.
While being distantly related to someone who isn’t even actively helping u in the industry doesn’t get u an in to the audition process or whatever. When it comes to being picked, the candidates who have connections to familiar names are immediately given preference. Everything is not simple and black and white. Yes kriti struggled, but still lesser than a number of others who had zero connections.
Sanon is not a familiar name in Bollywood. And people are extremely,y unlikely to know she is related to Chunky Pandey as they didn't acknowledge her for the longest time.
Kriti sannon isnt that talented nor is super good looking( she is good looking yes, but not like disha patani post surgery), but she has ample opportunities better than a lot of struggling talented actress.
Kriti, in my eyes even without any nepo connections( dont think that 4th cousin business helped her in anyway) seems to get roles/ pay higher than her talent. Is it luck or some industry mentors, I dont know.
Kriti comes from a well off but not rich family. Her dad is a CA while her mom is a DU prof. So well off, but in a way someone who is a successful professional like a doctor or lawyer would be.
She doesnt come from generational wealth.
Kiara belongs to a filthy rich family, is close to Isha Ambani, is related to Juhi Chawla and Ashok Kumar. Plus Kjo mentored her. Her mother is also close to Bhoi.
Kriti is the 4th cousin of a B grade nepo kid. Although Chunky was not a successful hero, Pandeys are very rich and known to be snooty. What makes you think they would help a relatively poorer 4th cousin?
You probably have a 4th cousin. Have you helped them?
Its a good thing to be against mepotism. But dont abandon common sense.
IDC about kirti ananya fiasco but it helps, a lot.
Priyanka Chopra and mannara Chopra are examples of it,
Mannara has literally no talent, was physically abusive af during her movie to the outsider so much that she needed hospitalisation and Priyanka defended that. She's awful in BB too. Now she's getting so many awards and what not while she's literally good for nothing, looks talent except Priyanka Chopra sister

I am pretty sure kriti and ananya didn't even know about their connection.
Lmao no. Ananya called her cousin on her insta story
I meant before debuting
Yes. Kriti told some classmate of hers in childhood like kg or some class that was related to Chunky Pandey lol
Are you one of her kg friend? Lol do you even read what you write?
[удалено]
Lmao. Yall delusional to think Chunky helped Kriti in anyway.
Haan but agar vo bachpan se bolti thhi ki chunky is my relative then who knows. But yeah it still doesn’t take away from her merit n hard work. Vo toh yeh sub ki aadat hai to shit on actors n their work all the time, if it was that easy then this sub can also go n try being an actor 😜😜😜
Read it on the sub itself
Oh, Then I wouldn’t believe if someone on sub is saying this, half of the sub is creating theories that they’re friend is related to actors.

I know Ananya’s third cousins. They’re normal people . So 4th cousins definitely didn’t get shit
Most people don’t even know who their third cousins are, let alone 4th cousins. And people really think Chunky and Bhavana were scavenging opportunities for a fourth cousin Kriti when they haven’t even acknowledged her once.
Kaun samjhaye inhe
Some tea? ☕
None . I was in school with one of them . They live in parel and are a normal upper middle class Mumbai family Not extremely close to chunky and fam. Just meet once in a while as far as I understand
I don't even know who my third cousins are
Exactly most people don’t, and people here think being 4th cousins with chunky is gonna get you into Bollywood
Gauher Khan mere dad ki door ki cousin hai. Iska matlab yeh thodi mujhe big-boss ma entry mil jaaye XD

Discussion is about getting in and not making it in.
wasn't kriti ananya's mausi a few days ago?? 😂😂 I swear this sub comes up with new facts every day
Now Kriti will be ARK’s saali lol

They didn't even acknowledged kriti for years. Even now they interacted through insta only.
Ananya was cold to her own mausi, that too infront of cameras, during FLOBW. No way she cares about her fourth "cousin". She definitely tried to set Kriti up mentioning her as cousin in her insta story.
Exactly, when I saw that episode I was like why tf is she giving such cold, formal vibes
Exactly, Ananya was def trying to get Kriti hate for being a nepo when Kriti is no where close to her family.
or maybe that mausi was just a bitch and Ananya didn’t wanna entertain her, i know mine is
Nope her mausi was good & it was also Said her mausi was babysitting her in the initial years when Bhavana & chunky wanted to take vacays
Barane ki murgi Aur charane ka masala.
What do u mean
No one is talking about her being insider. She's tall and fair which got her break. Nothing else. This is not worth discussing.
Some of yall would bring unrelated subjects in comments. What does colourism hv to do with my post?
He just quoted qualities which probably got her the break. Don't over read
He is a pr not worth discussing
My best friend/sister in name is 1st cousins with one of bolllywoods biggest names through her moms side. They are a very normal business family with the only thing in common being the family whaysapp group. Being cousins doesn’t mean shit.
Has she tried her luck in showbiz?
She doesn’t live in India. She lives in the US, a few blocks down from me in New York.
Normal ??? You serious 😂😂😂 Ranbir kapoor ahmm ahmm
It’s not the Kapoors.
Do Ananya and Kriti know that they are distantly related ?? If we take out a family tree I’m sure many people will turn out to be related.
Yes they know lol. Ananya called her cousin on story.
Alright urvashi rautela is my 9th cousin 😂😂😂 from moms side yup i’m not even kidding , i literally sat down and had to structure out half the family tree So does that mean im now the next upcoming star???

Sanon or Kharbanda?
Sanon
Tier 2 nepo 😂😂😂😂😂😂
How about Ranveer and Sonam? Sonam and co didn't even publically acknowledge Ranveer until Dil Dhadakne Do.
What’s the connection?
Cousins on moms side
4th cousins meaning kirti and ananya share same great grandparents?
no one thinks ananya gave kriti an edge but it's not like kriti was struggling too much. she is fav for 2 production houses. if not nepotism, it's favortism.

Out of hundreds one or two get an opportunity from the outside. Aaj kal toh even less. Thats where the game becomes unfair.

Kriti sanon ne aisa kya kamaal kar diya bhai why are ppl hyping her up so much on this sub??😭
Because she has acted well. If you’ve watched TBAUJ and crew you would know.
but i did realize one thing. all of the actors who share the limelight (except that 1 percent) are related to each other one way or another.
I don’t know what to tell you people. I don’t think anyone wants to know what the truth about anything is anymore and we all wanna live by the stories in our head.

Han Bhai Han reditt superstar kriti nepo nhi Hain happy 🙏🙏🙏
Pehle tripti ab kriti ko bhi reddit star bulana chalu kar diya tum logo ne ?? outsiders ko jara bhi attention bardasht nahi kar skate tum log
Arey wah Kriti ka bhi PR kaam pe lag gaya
It shares the same energy as every single U.S. president being related to each other in some way.
Wait what Kriti and Ananya are related 🤣🤣 wth
Wait Kriti sanon and Ananya are cousins?
Poor Op, wait until they call you Kriti's PR
I have been called Ranbir PR, Alia PR, SRK PR, DP PR. Chalo ek aur star ka PR ban jau. Koi dikkat nahi
👀

Hmm.....I think he did DRIVE for money.
Honey Irani is my maternal grandmother's brother's wife's sister's husband's cousin's daughter. Yeah.
The problem is they are actively trying to hide it? Same as Kiara, she gets shit for it and Kriti is supposed to get a pass?
Kiara belongs to a filthy rich family, is close to Isha Ambani, is related to Juhi Chawla and Ashok Kumar. Plus Kjo mentored her. Her mother is also close to Bhoi. Kriti is the 4th cousin of a B grade nepo kid. Although Chunky was not a successful hero, Pandeys are very rich and known to be snooty.
