A Series of Celebrities Bullied Because of Nepotism Issues in Bollywood, Limit Comments Until Account Closure

Kapanlagi.com - After the death of Sushant Singh Rajput who allegedly died of depression, the issue of nepotism resurfaced. It is alleged that Sushant was stressed due to unhealthy competition in Bollywood caused by the strong presence of nepotism in the film industry.

There are even rumors that Sushant has been banned by several production houses and received criticism from top Bollywood artists. This is what then highlighted and bullied some celebrities by Indian netizens until now.

Some of them are resilient in facing various insults they receive. But there are also those who give up and close their accounts for their own peace.

The first celebrity to be bullied by Indian netizens is Alia Bhatt. As soon as she expressed her condolences to the family for Sushant's death, Alia was immediately mocked by netizens.

This actress is called someone who only sweet talks but is not truly sad about Sushant's death. This is because a few years ago, Alia once said 'Who is Sushant?' in the show Koffee With Karan hosted by Karan Johar.

Although it was said jokingly, Alia's statement was considered an insult. In fact, Alia herself would not be famous if not for her father, Mahesh Bhatt, who is a famous director in India.

Alia is considered shameless for saying 'Who is Sushant?', even though she herself is a product of nepotism. However, Alia does not respond to various negative comments addressed to her.

Alongside the bullying directed at Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar is also being attacked by netizens. Karan is cornered because his production house, Dharma Production, is suspected of banning Sushant and only accepting actors from artist families.

Karan's apology, which did not contact Sushant for a year, did not calm netizens. Instead, the Indian public became even angrier because of this and accused Karan as one of the causes of Sushant's death.

The issue of nepotism promoted by Karan became even more prominent after Kangana Ranaut and Ayushmann Khurrana spoke up. Kangana loudly accused Karan as the mastermind of nepotism in India, and there have been many victims.

Ayushmann, who does not come from an artist family, revealed that he had received unfair treatment from Dharma Production in the past. This was revealed by the star of the film ANDHANDUN in his biography book, and he has already conveyed it to Karan.

3. Sonakshi Sinha

Sonakshi Sinha became the center of attention of netizens after she expressed her condolences to Sushant. The expression of condolences apparently angered Indian netizens and Sonakshi responded by mocking many people who sought popularity through Sushant's death.

"The problem with wrestling with a pig is that you get dirty and the pig enjoys it. Some people really try to gain popularity and highlight their issues by using the excuse of defending the deceased. PLEASE stop. Your negative words, insults, and poison are really not necessary right now. Please respect the family left behind," she wrote on her Instagram account @aslisona.

This post by Sonakshi made the public even more emotional and they attacked this DABANGG film star on Twitter. They called Sona a publicity seeker and said she shouldn't speak like that because she is a product of nepotism. If it weren't for her father, Shatrughan Sinha, and Salman Khan, Sona would not be famous as she is now.

Unable to handle the criticism she received, Sonakshi finally decided to delete her Twitter account. However, she still maintains her Instagram account.

4. Salman Khan

When the tweet from Salman Khan's production house banning Sushant Singh Rajput surfaced, the public immediately remembered Salman's feud with Sushant a few years ago. At that time, Salman was said to be defending Sooraj Pancholi, whom he was about to launch and was having issues with Sushant.

Salman was criticized for favoring Sooraj, whose acting abilities were just average, but Salman still produced his films. Meanwhile, Sushant, who had good acting skills, was blacklisted by Salman Khan Productions.

Although all the above issues are still alleged, Salman faced a lot of criticism. There were even protests and his photos were burned on the streets of several cities in India.

However, Salman did not respond to these rumors with anger. When his sister got angry, Salman instead asked all his fans to sympathize with Sushant's fans who had just lost their idol.

5. Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor highlights the many people blaming others for Sushant's death. Through her Twitter account, Sonam reveals that others should not be blamed, whether they are Sushant's colleagues or girlfriend.

However, Sonam's statement backfires. She is accused of not being able to understand Sushant's struggle against nepotism because she herself is a product of nepotism.

Instead of denying it, Sonam proudly admits that she is a result of nepotism. Her father, Anil Kapoor, has worked hard to make her who she is today, and Sonam is proud of that.

"I do have privilege. And it's not something to be ashamed of. I'm proud," Sonam writes on her Twitter recently.

6. Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor also faces backlash from netizens for being seen as a product of nepotism. Despite repeatedly speaking about this issue and stating that nepotism in Bollywood is exaggerated, she still receives criticism.

What angered the public about Kareena was her comment at an event regarding Sushant a few years ago. At that time, she was asked for her advice to Sara Ali Khan, her stepdaughter who was making her debut in Bollywood.

Quickly, Kareena suggested that Sara should not date her co-star in her first film, Sushant. The public was upset because they perceived Kareena's facial expression when saying that sentence as if she was disgusted with Sushant.

Kareena did not respond to the comments about her facial expression. She decided to limit the comments on her Instagram account.
