Not too long ago, Sushant Singh Rajput allegedly committed suicide in his Mumbai residence. The police department believes it's due to depression and professional pressure.
Professional pressure here refers to the Bollywood's impartiality and ignorance towards the 'outsiders'.
However, Sushant Singh's death has sparked the conversation about 'Bollywood nepotism'. In yet another shocking revelation, late actor Inder Kumar's wife Pallavi has come forward to share the actor's experience with Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan.
She took to her Instagram account, and wrote, "These days everyone is talking about Nepotism, just like Sushant Singh Rajput, my husband, late actor Inder Kumar achieved his fame on his own. He was at his peak in the 90s. Before he passed away I still remember he went to two people, big shots (from Bollywood industry) asking for work help. Just for the record, he was already doing small projects, but he wanted to do big movies just like he started."
"He went to Mr Karan johar, I was there too. In front of me, all (this) happened. He made us wait outside (of) his van for 2 hrs. Then his manager Garima comes and says Karan is busy. But we waited & when he came out, he says inder keep in touch with garima at the moment there is no work for you. And he did that for the next 15 days. The phone was picked up saying there is no work at the moment, (and) after that inder was blocked."
She continues to write about their experience with Shah Rukh Khan and his manager Pooja, "The same behaviour was given to Inder by none other than Mr Shah Rukh Khan. He met Inder and said he will call you in a week. At the moment there is no work.this all happened on the set of Zero. Later was even asked to keep in touch with his manager Pooja, she did the same wat Garima did. Can one imagine and believe that there has not been any work available in these two production houses. Karan Johar has said many times he works with stars, well my husband was a star and still, people remember him by his work."
Inder Kumar made his debut in Bollywood with Masoom in 1996. The actor died of a massive heart attack in 2017 and passed away.
Pallavi concludes her note, "Why is it so difficult for these big shots to help talented people. What are they scared of? Or we can just say they are bad human beings pretending to be nice. Nepotism should stop people are dying and these big shots are still not understanding the effect. The government should take strict action against such people."
