Arjun Tendulkar is the son of legendary cricket player Sachin Tendulkar and he joined the IPL franchise Mumbai Indians after they bought him in the recent auction. Instantly after this, the youngster started to recieve backlash from everyone in the name of 'nepotism'. Actor Farhan Akhtar who works out in the same gym as Arjun, decided to support the youngster by sharing a rational thought.

He tweeted, "I feel I should say this about #Arjun_Tendulkar. We frequent the same gym & I've seen how hard he works on his fitness, seen his focus to be a better cricketer. To throw the word 'nepotism' at him is unfair & cruel. Don't murder his enthusiasm & weigh him down before he's begun."

Some people saw the sense in Farhan's point but the it didn't went well with others who still believe that he has gotten this chance cause of who his father is.
