Pranuthan Bahl also mentioned that the tag of being a star kid can help anyone in getting only a few movies, but ultimately it is the talent that speaks. “Everyone’s journey is different. If you want to use your contact, that’s your wish. I didn’t want to. I wanted to know my self, if I am capable of doing this in front of the camera. Aapko contact se ek picture mil jaaegi, ya do but ultimately your talent will speak,” she added.

Pranuthan also added that star kids are often judged about the same and said, “People are going to judge you anyway when you are a public figure. People always are going to judge you and fair enough because you jumped into this field, you cannot shy away. People are going to have opinions about you. When you come from a film background family, you are bound to have contacts, but the point is everyone’s journey is different.”

Pranuthan was recently seen in Helmet along with Aparshakti Khurana. It is a comedy that touches upon a topic that is considered embarrassing for most people in India.
