Actor Vindu Dara Singh breaks his silence on nepotism in film industry

Actor Vindu Dara Singh, whose son

Fateh Randhawa

is all set to enter Hindi film industry with a big-budget production, says only talent coupled with hardwork can make one successful in cinema. "Coming from

Bollywood

's illustrious families doesn't give anyone the passport to success. You can't survive in the film world if you are not talented. Favouritism or preferential treatment happens in every field." Vindu adds, "If you have talent no one can stop you from becoming a top star. You can't fool people. Moreover, you will easily get identified for being a non-performer." Vindu, son of legendary wrestler-actor Dara Singh, adds, "My dad always told me to not have illusions. Rather, he guided me to work hard if I wanted to be known in the film circles. And this is what I tell Fateh so that he remains focussed and dedicated."


On Fateh's entry, he says, "He is working to sharpen his acting skills. I have told him clearly that to excel in Bollywood he has to do kadi mehnat. Family background will not make him star." Fateh has been learning dance, fight sequences and acting for more than four years.
