While nepotism is said to be prevalent in Bollywood and already a burning topic, dynasty has also been one such issue in politics. And Congress vice-president, Rahul Gandhi is among the most popular politicians having to cope with questions about dynasty. Thus, Gandhi decided to fairly merge nepotism and dynasty together in Berkeley, USA and named Abhishek Bachchan among others while talking about dynasty.
“Most parties in India have that problem…Mr Akhilesh Yadav is a dynast. Mr Stalin (son of M Karunanidhi of DMK) is a dynast… even Abhishek Bachchan is a dynast. So, that’s how India runs. So, don’t get after me because that’s how India is run. By the way, last, I recall, Ambanis are running the business. That’s also going on in Infosys. So, that’s what happens in India,” he had said.
Soon after his comments, Rishi Kapoor, one of the most vocal Bollywood celebrities, went on a rant against Gandhi. He highlighted the contribution of the Kapoors in Indian cinema and how their four generations survived in the industry, solely on merit, for 90 years.

So don't bullshit people on "Dynasty" You have to earn people's respect and love through hard work not zabardasti and gundagardi.

He asked Gandhi not to give ‘bullsh*t’ on dynasty and should he should earn respect of people through hard work and not ‘zabardasti’ (force) or ‘gundagardi’ (hooliganism).
