I will tell you why, I don&#8217;t have a legacy to carry forward. I don&#8217;t have anything to lose.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>She added, &#8220;Let&#8217;s be honest, nepotism will always exist. It&#8217;s just like how a doctor would want their child to become a doctor. <!-- -->It&#8217;s the same in Bollywood and every industry.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>&#8220;There is a big difference between being privileged and non-privileged, having a film background or coming from a non-filmy background. I come from a non-filmy background and not from a privileged class. That&#8217;s why I have to fight every single time. And honestly, everyone has to go through their own struggles.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>The actress further said, &#8220;It&#8217;s not like I have done something extraordinary, but if you can handle things mentally, that itself is a big achievement. I personally feel that no matter where you come from, when you stand between &#8216;action&#8217; and &#8216;cut&#8217;, it&#8217;s all about your performance, whether you are from a privileged group or not, whether you belong to a film family or not.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>She concluded, &#8220;Whatever I am getting today is a blessing. I didn&#8217;t come from anywhere, and today I am sitting here in front of you. This fighting spirit will stay with me for life, and I love it. Thank you, Bollywood, for recognizing me. I will always be a part of this industry.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Talking about Neetu Chandra, the actress is known for films like Garam Masala, Traffic Signal and Oye Lucky!
