MUMBAI: Kettan Singh is back again with his fabulous show "Janhit Mein Jaari" and the recent episode was dedicated to the most talked about topic "Nepotism". Titled "Nepotism - A Curse or a Boon", Kettan talks about dynasty politics as well in the video.
The word nepotism was used popularly for Bollywood, especially after Kangana Ranaut called Karan Johar as the "flag-bearer of nepotism" on his chat show "Koffee With Karan". It is being talked about again now after the sad demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. He was found hanging at his Bandra home on June 14. Post his demise, people from the industry and the netizens said that the "Kai Po Che!" star succumbed to depression as he became a victim of nepotism.

In the beginning of the episode, Kettan said, "This word existed in the dictionary but came into limelight after Kangana Ranaut used it on Karan Johar's chat show 'Koffee With Karan' and called him the flag-bearer of nepotism. And the social media made it viral."
He explained that the word came from latin words nepos which means nephews and mentioned how nepotism existed even during the times of Ramayan, and even in politics. He also admitted that nepotism is not just limited to India or Bollywood, it happens in Hollywood as well as Western countries. It is not something which is industry specific.
