She added that no one is interested in listening to their grievances because they come from a privileged background.
Insider-outsider divide
'No one is interested in listening to us'
Kapoor said, "Kyunki hum privileged background se hain toh koi thodi naa sunna chahta hai. It's just not right." "Hume complain bhi nahi karna chahiye kyunki hum bohut abhari hai jo bhi mila hai uske liye." "Agar hum yahan baithke bolenge ki humare liye bhi bohut mushkil hai, jab ki sab ke liye hota hai."
