MUMBAI: Sushant Singh Rajput’s alleged suicide has raised many questions on nepotism in the industry, which limits the growth of talented actors who dream to make it big in the glam world. After SSR's death, netizens are fuming over the politics and nepotism in Bollywood. Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ananya Panday, and Sonakshi Sinha have faced so much rage that they have now limited the comments section on their respective Insta pages.
Alia has been badly trolled for her remark on Sushant on Koffee With Karan and has seen a major drop in her Insta followers. Coming to her daughter’s rescue, Soni Razdan has hit back at those who have been ranting about nepotism. Re-tweeting filmmaker Hansal Mehta’s Tweet, Soni Razdan wrote, “The expectation that people have because of whose son or daughter you are is much more. Those who r ranting about nepotism today and who have made it on their own will also have kids one day. And what if they want to join the industry? Will they stop them from doing so?”

Hansal Mehta took to his Twitter account and posted a series of tweets about nepotism that read, “This nepotism debate must be broadened. Merit counts most. My son got a step in the door because of me. And why not. But he's been an integral part of my best work because he is talented, disciplined, hardworking, and shares similar values as me. Not just because he's my son.”
He further replied, “He will make films not because I will produce them. I might not. But because he deserves to make them. He will have a career only if he survives. It is ultimately him and not his father who will build his career. My shadow is both his biggest benefit and greatest bane.”
Have a look.
He will make films not because I will produce them. I might not. But because he deserves to make them. He will have a career only if he survives. It is ultimately him and not his father who will build his career. My shadow is both his biggest benefit and greatest bane.
