The debate around nepotism and the struggles outsiders face in the Hindi film industry has been going on for a long time now. Radhika Madan, also an outsider who marched her way to success with her performances and choices of films, has spoken about the issue as well. She also revealed how she auditioned for Student of the Year and why she was rejected.

Speaking to BollywoodLife, Madan stated what your role as an aspiring actor should be. She said, "Your job is to just ask for the audition, that is it. I literally went to the producers and asked them to let me audition. And that's how I got roles, that's how I got Pataakha, that's how I got Angrezi (Angrezi Medium). I literally went and said, 'Can I audition?' That is the most outsiders can do. You need to stop cribbing and start working on yourself."
