Responding to a netizen's comment about the difference between 'nepo dentists' and 'nepo actors,' Razdan stressed that the film industry relies on audience choices. She highlighted the role of the audience in deciding the success of a movie and noted that even with initial opportunities, sustained success requires genuine talent and audience support.

In another comment, Razdan acknowledged the pressure that star kids face, expressing understanding of the difficulty in witnessing others secure roles one believes they could have performed better. She emphasized the transient nature of success and advised individuals to stay away from the industry if they find it challenging to cope.

When questioned about her opinion on the talent of star kids like Ananya Panday, Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, and Janhvi Kapoor, Razdan affirmed their talent and recognized the broader opportunities now available through OTT platforms. She credited the rise of digital platforms for opening up numerous roles for actors and reflected on the limited options during her own youth, where landing a role in films was a formidable task.
