नेपोटिज्म पर बोले अभय देओल, कहा-'इससे बचने के लिए सामाजिक बदलाव जरूरी'

अभय देओल ने अपने सोशल मीडिया हैंडल पर अभिनेता धर्मेंद्र के साथ अपनी तस्वीर का कोलाज साझा करते हुए नेपोटिज्म को लेकर अपना एक्सपीरियंस शेयर किया है. उनका मामना है कि नेपोटिज्म हर जगह है और इससे बचने के लिए सामाजिक बदलाव जरूरी है.

मुंबई : अभिनेता अभय देओल इन दिनों अपने सोशल मीडिया हैंडल पर काफी एक्टिव रहते हैं और हर मुद्दे पर अपने विचार को बेझिझक सबके सामने रखते हैं.

सुशांत सिंह राजपूत के निधन के बाद अभय ने 'जिंदगी ना मिलेगी दोबारा' के लिए नॉमिनेट ना होने पर सवाल किए थे. वहीं अब अभिनेता को लगता है कि नेपोटिज्म हर जगह है.

अभय ने हाल ही में अपने इंस्टाग्राम अकांउट पर दिग्गज अभिनेता धर्मेंद्र के साथ खुद की एक तस्वीर साझा की है.

जिसके साथ कैप्शन में उन्होंने लिखा, 'मेरे अंकल, जिन्हें मैं प्यार से डैड कहता हूं. एक आउटसाइडर थे, जिन्होंने फिल्म इंडस्ट्री में बड़ा नाम बनाया. मुझे खुशी है कि पर्दे के पीछे क्या होता है उस पर अब एक एक्टिव बहस चल रही है. नेपोटिज्म बस इसका एक छोटा सा हिस्सा है. मैंने अपने परिवार के साथ केवल एक फिल्म की, मेरी पहली फिल्म, मैं आभारी हूं कि मैंने ये सौभाग्य प्राप्त किया है. मैं अपने करियर का रास्ता बनाने के लिए काफी आगे तक आया, डैड ने हमेशा प्रोत्साहित किया. मेरे लिए वह प्रेरणा थे.'

  My uncle, whom I affectionately call dad, was an outsider who made it big in the film industry. I’m glad there is an active debate on the practices behind the scenes. Nepotism is just the tip of the iceberg. I’ve only ever made one film with my family, my 1st, and I’m grateful to be blessed and have that privileged. I’ve gone that extra mile in my career to make my own path, something that dad always encouraged. For me he was the inspiration. Nepotism is prevalent everywhere in our culture, be it in politics, business, or film. I was well aware of it and it pushed me to take chances with new directors and producers throughout my career. That is how I was able to make movies that were considered “out of the box.” I’m glad some of those artists and films went on to have tremendous success. While it plays a part in every country, nepotism has taken on another dimension here in India. I suspect caste plays a major role in it being more pronounced here than in other parts of the world. After all, it is “jati” that dictates that a son carry on the work of his father, while the daughter is expected to marry and be a housewife. If we are serious about making changes for the better, then focusing on only one aspect, one industry, while ignoring the many others, will be incomplete and possibly counter productive. We need a cultural evolution. After all, where do our filmmakers, politicians and businessmen come from? They are people just like everyone. They grow up within the same system as everybody else. They are a reflection of their culture. Talent everywhere deserves a chance to shine in his or her medium. As we have learnt over the past few weeks, there are several ways in which an artist is either uplifted to success, or beaten down to failure. I’m glad more actors are coming out today and speaking of their experiences. I’ve been vocal about mine for years now, but as a lone voice I could only do so much. It’s easy to smear one artist for speaking out, and I have been at the receiving end from time to time. But as a group, a collective, that becomes difficult. Maybe now is our watershed moment. #change #equalopportunity #nepotism #caste #jati #nuance #dialogue

'नेपोटिज्म हमारी संस्कृति में हर जगह है, चाहे वह राजनीति हो, व्यवसाय हो या फिल्म. मैं इसके बारे में अच्छी तरह से जानता था और इसने मुझे अपने पूरे करियर में नए निर्देशकों और निर्माताओं के साथ काम करने के लिए प्रेरित किया. इस तरह मैं ऐसी फिल्में बनाने में सक्षम हो गया, जिन्हें "आउट ऑफ द बॉक्स" माना जाता था. मुझे खुशी है कि उन कलाकारों और फिल्मों में से कुछ को जबरदस्त सफलता मिली.'

अभय ने आगे लिखा, 'नेपोटिज्म हर देश में है, भारत में नेपोटिज्म ने एक और आयाम हासिल कर लिया है. जाति दुनिया के अन्य हिस्सों की तुलना में यहां बड़ा रोल प्ले करती है. आखिरकार, ये "जाति" है जो ये तय करती है कि एक बेटा अपने पिता के काम को आगे चलाता है, जबकि बेटी से शादी करके, एक हाउस वाइफ होने की उम्मीद की जाती है.'

'अगर हम बदलाव के लिए सच में गंभीर हैं तो बाकी आयामों को छोड़कर हमें सिर्फ एक आयाम या एक इंडस्ट्री पर ही फोकस नहीं रखना होगा. ऐसा करना अपूर्ण होगा. हमें सांस्कृतिक बदलाव चाहिए. आखिर हमारे फिल्म निर्माता, राजनेता और व्यापारी कहां से आते हैं? वे सभी लोगों की तरह ही हैं. वे उसी प्रणाली के अंदर बड़े होते हैं जैसे हर कोई. वे अपनी संस्कृति का प्रतिबिंब हैं. हर जगह प्रतिभा चमकने का मौका चाहती है. जैसा कि कुछ हफ्तों में हमनें पाया है कि कई सारे रास्ते हैं जिससे एक आर्टिस्ट या तो सफलता की सीढ़ियों पर चढ़ता है या फिर उसे खींच कर नीचे गिरा दिया जाता है. '

एक्टर ने आगे लिखा, 'मुझे खुशी है कि आज अधिक अभिनेता सामने आ रहे हैं और अपने अनुभवों के बारे में बोल रहे हैं. मैं सालों से मेरे बारे में मुखर रहा हूं, लेकिन एक आवाज के रूप में मैं अकेले केवल इतना ही कर सकता था. जो इंसान बोलता है उसे बदनाम करना आसान है. और मुझे समय-समय पर ये मिलता है. लेकिन एक समूह के रूप में ये मुश्किल हो जाता है. शायद ये हमारा टर्निंग मोमेंट है.'

वर्कफ्रंट की बात करें तो, अभय को आखिरी बार नेटफ्लिक्स की फिल्म 'चॉपस्टिक्स' और 'व्हाट आर द ऑड' में देखा गया था. उन्होंने 2019 की फिल्म 'हीरो' से तमिल डेब्यू किया.

अभय ने 2005 में इम्तियाज अली की "सोचा ना था" से बॉलीवुड में अपनी शुरुआत की.

जिसके बाद उन्हें "अहिस्ता अहिस्ता", "देव डी", "हनीमून ट्रैवल्स प्राइवेट लिमिटेड", "एक चालीस की लास्ट लोकल", "मनोरमा सिक्स फीट अंडर", "रांझणा", "जिंदगी ना मिलेगी दोबारा" और" हैप्पी भाग जाएगी'' जैसी फिल्मों में भी देखा गया.
