After Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, the youngest grandson of Raj Kapoor, Aadar Jain, is set to join the bandwagon.
Aadar, son of Rishi Kapoor's sister Rima Jain, will soon be making his Bollywood debut with none other than Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films. He will be starring alongside Anya Singh, a newcomer from Delhi.

Aadar and Anya were launched at an event organised on Wednesday, July 5, which was also attended by Aadar's cousin Ranbir and Anushka Sharma. YRF's official Twitter handle unveiled a series of posters and videos of the two new actors. In the posters and videos, Aadar is seen posing with a huge poster of Raj Kapoor at the backdrop.

While many welcomed Anya, others trolled Aadar for using Raj Kapoor's poster to his advantage and being accepted in the film industry. This also resulted in people discussing the topic of nepotism in Bollywood all over again. It was only a few months ago, that the debate on nepotism had become a talking point when Kangana Ranaut addressed it in Karan Johar's Koffee With Karan.
Ironically, KJo who received a lot of backlash for supporting nepotism also welcomed Aadar on Twitter.
