Speaking to the media, Alia said since the industry is nepotistic, there is no need to defend it. "Of late, I have realized that there is no need to protect the nepotistic nature of the industry because it does exist," she said. She said that it's difficult for those who don't get an opportunity in the industry, which is why it has turned into an emotional issue. "If I was on the other side, I would be heartbroken. I may have felt the same way. Yes, it does exist everywhere but this is the only business where there's no fixed funda. You need to be at the right place at the right time," the actor said.
