Sushant Singh Rajput’s death puts Nepotism in the spotlight again in Bollywood

It’s been more than one week of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. Soon after his death, the film industry has been divided into some groups on the issue of nepotism.

In one of his posts on Instagram, Sushant replied to one of his fans comment – he wrote – “If you don’t watch it, then they’d throw me out of Bollywood. I have no Godfather. I’ve made you (all) my Gods and fathers. Watch it if you want to see me survive in Bollywood”.This comment truly expresses how stressed he was about his movies.

Soon after the news of his death, a spate of social media posts blamed a particular section of Bollywood for pushing him to take this dramatic step, with # nepotismkilledsushant on the top.
Several names within the industry including Kangana Ranaut, Vivek Oberai, and many more Celebrities revealed the harsh reality of the glamorous show business world.

Kangana Ranaut shared a Video expressing her views on nepotism and the sad reality of Bollywood.

Quoted –“ It is important to give talent their due. And if celebrities are struggling with personal and mental health issues, the media should try and emphasize with them, rather than making it difficult for them!’’

Divided into the debate, many in the industry feel that it’s time for nepotism to come to an end and real talent to get a chance they deserve, while some argue that Rajput ‘s death has nothing to do with star-kids culture.
