Actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise has shocked the entire nation, sparking conversations about mental illness, death by suicide and the film industry.
Nepotism in the Bollywood film industry has been a topic of controversy in the past few years and has resurfaced once again after the death of the actor.
Big names of Bollywood like director-producer Karan Johar, actress Alia Bhatt and Sonam Kapoor have been accused of promoting nepotism and favoring those from within the film fraternity.
In a recent turn of events, Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt have been losing followers in massive numbers for the past few days. According to reports, the ‘Raazi’ actress has lost over 500K followers and Karan Johar has lost over 250K followers on Instagram since Sunday. Sushant Singh Rajput and Kangana Ranaut’s accounts have witnessed an increase in followers after the ‘Queen’ actress spoke up about the issue.
Reports claim that Sushant Singh Rajput always felt like an outsider in the film industry and was forced to leave several projects, which were later signed by other actors. The actor was reportedly undergoing treatment for depression before he took his own life.
