In the latest episode of Koffee with Karan Season 8, the topic of nepotism took centre stage as Karan Johar asked his guests, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, to share their views on the subject. Sunny expressed his perspective, stating, "Now I have come to the conclusion that it's just stupid." According to him, people tend to use the term out of anger or because they can not achieve something, using it as a scapegoat.

Directing his thoughts to Karan, Sunny emphasized that his success stemmed from his talent, not external factors. He highlighted that both he and Bobby have achieved their positions based on their talents and merits. The actor confessed that while his father, Dharmendra, initiated their entry into the industry, it is a common practice for parents to pave the way for their children, considering it a natural aspect of familial support. Sunny reasoned that discussing nepotism without thoughtful consideration does not make sense.

Bobby Deol added to the discussion, emphasizing that their parents were not from the industry and they earned their success through their own efforts. He expressed, "We did not choose to be born to them. We were blessed to be born to them. We did not ask. But we got it." Bobby questioned why they should feel the brunt of it. He encouraged people to look at his career as an example, highlighting that being a star kid does not guarantee success.
