They don't think it's a big deal at all because that's the order of the way. There were few actors, may be a Vijay Deverakonda that came from the outside and broke through. What do you have to say about that circumstance?\""},{"text":"Reacting to this, the 'Kushi' actress had said, \"Nepo kids, non-nepo kids, everyone comes with their own demons, and they have their own demons to face.\""},{"text":"When KJo asked Samantha, \"What about first-move advantage?\" she pointed out that star kids are under immense pressure as their every move is observed by the industry and viewers; however, being an outsider takes away some of that pressure."},{"text":"The 'Yashoda' actress went on to explain, \"And for me, when I entered the industry, if I failed, just my mom, dad, and my brothers would have known that I failed.
