Nepotism is an oft-debated topic in Bollywood award shows and interviews but it is not a new concept, says Preity Zinta as she believes it is natural for parents to help their children. Preity, an outsider herself, said the industry is dominated by people who have made a name for themselves, irrespective of where they come from.

"It is an age old thing that parents will help their children. Nepotism does exist. But then there are stars like Shah  Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and others who are not from industry and are superstars," she told PTI in an interview.
