Krushna Abhishek’s cousin and Ishq Jabariya actor Rishaab Chauhaan on nepotism: It might give someone a start, but it doesn’t guarantee stardom

Actor Rishaab Chauhaan, cousin to Indian actor and comedian Krushna Abhishek, is currently captivating audiences as Ritwik, Aditya’s (played by Lakshay Khurana) cousin brother, in Sun Neo’s show Ishq Jabariya. This marks Rishaab’s TV debut, and he feels a personal connection to the character he plays on screen. Recently, Rishaab shared how Krushna Abhishek reacted to his TV debut and discussed the topic of nepotism, including whether having a relative in the industry helps in securing roles.

Rishaab Chauhaan said, “The day I started shooting, Krushna found out I was making my TV debut with Ishq Jabariya, and he was very happy to hear that.” Further addressing nepotism, the Ishq Jabariya actor added, “I believe you can give someone a push, like helping them start on a bicycle, but you can’t keep pushing them their whole life. You help them sit, give them that initial push, and as long as someone holds on, they’ll keep going. But eventually, you have to let go. A true artist will keep going, and if not, they’ll fall off.
