The issue of Bollywood nepotism has been allegedly sprung up with the death of 34 years old Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput on 14th June in Bandra, Mumbai. The young actor hanged himself from the ceiling in his flat. Clinical depression has been rectified as the cause of his suicidal run. Fans and admirers of Sushant Singh Rajput have dismissed the condolence of many Bollywood stakeholders by identifying them as peddlers and their condolence as the weeping of crocodiles. Many from the industry are handling the front gear to fight against Bollywood nepotism also. Kangana Ranaut and Abhinav Kashyap are from those who have spoken against Bollywood nepotism.
One twitter reply of Sushant Singh Rajput has taken all the attention in which the actor accounted that Bollywood would throw him out if people do not watch his movies in theaters. He added that he had no Godfather in Bollywood and considered his audiences as God and father altogether. Social media has been flooded by the hatred post against Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt for bullying Sushant Singh Rajput virtually. A report says, near about 7 movies got out of SSR’s hand in the last few years. Bollywood nepotism has been rectified as the career backlash of SSR and the prime cause of his depression. Moreover, the report says he has been banned from many production houses like Yash Raj Films, Dharma Production, and so on. According to the report, there was a deliberate force to keep SSR stuck to TV serials and Web series.
On, 17th June, a case has been filed against 8 Bollywood lawmakers, Karan Johar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and Ekta Kapoor along with Actor Salman Khan, Aditya Chopra, Bhushan Kumar, Sajid Nadiadwala and director Dinesh by Sudhir Kumar Ojha as a criminal case, under IPC section 306, 109, 504 and 506 in a local court of Muzaffarpur, Bihar, reported by ANI. IPC Section 306 includes abetment of suicide which calls for the punishment of 10 years imprisonment and fine. 109 secures the punishment for abetment. 504 says if a person deliberately insults other person knowing that his/her word can harm the other person’s public peace, can break the person’s mental harmony which eventually can lead the person to an offense, shall be punished under this section with either two years of jail terms or fine or the both. Section 506 secures the punishment for criminal intimidation which is two years of jail or fine or both. The renowned actress Kangana Ranaut has been registered herself as the witness of the case filed. The first hearing date is July 3. The protesters have come down to the streets with placards written #Boycott nepotism, #Boycott Karan Johar, Youth Army to fight against Bollywood nepotism. A teenage fan of Sushant Singh Rajput couldn’t bear the pain of losing favorite actor and have committed suicide in the same way SSR did and left a letter saying if Sushant can do, he also can do it.
It is noteworthy that the police have not found any suicidal note or any clue yet that can polarize the allegations. There is a record of 4 phone calls that the died actor made before the night of his suicide, but unfortunately, no conversation happened to any one of the 4 persons. But the police have found out four diaries and expecting some clues from those. People like Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker, and others have become vocal about the virtual attack happening against Bollywood personas and Rhea Chakraborty (girlfriend of Sushant Singh Rajput). All the decisions are being made by interconnecting the flow of events. Many actors and directors are offended and disheartened by the non-co-operative and dominating gesture of some Bollywood elites who are been labeled as flag bearers of nepotism and ‘Bollywood Mafia’.
