"It is not new", Sushmita Sen gives her opinion on nepotism

Ever since Sushant Singh Rajput has committed suicide, there has been a debate between the insiders viruses outsiders in the industry. Netizens and a few industry people think that Bollywood does not fully accept outsiders hence, star kids get more opportunities. After Sushant's death, nepotism has yet again become the talk of the town and many star kids are under the scanner. ## Because of the continuous trolling of star kids and so many negative comments on social media on nepotism, Sonakshi Sinha has quit Twitter while Sonam Kapoor has disabled comment section on Instagram to keep themselves away from negativity. ## Now, when everyone is giving their opinion on this hot topic, former miss world, Sushmita Sen who has established herself in the industry was asked to give her take on nepotism in a recent interview. ## Speaking to a leading daily, the actress gave her insights. "There has been a discussion about it all over the media and everywhere at this moment. (But) We all have been enduring it, it is not new. Is this something that we have just realized? That competitiveness - or now everybody says this word 'nepotism' - is a truth you have known for as long as the industry has existed. With awareness, social, and digital space, it has increased thousands of folds". ## The actress further believes that blaming one person or pointing fingers is not the right thing to do, "People should not, in any profession, be destructive or envious of other people’s success. You may not always applaud it but to be envious generates this kind of vicious circle where people just (think) ‘he thought bad of me now wait till his release, I will think bad of him".## "It is a vicious circle that continues and nobody ends up gaining, everybody losses. If it needs to change, then all of us need to take responsibility, not one person," Sushmita Sen further added.## On the work front, Sushmita Sen has been getting overwhelming response for her role in Ram Madhvani’s crime drama web series streaming on Hotstar. Fans are delighted to see Sushmita on screen after a long time. She was last seen in a Bengali movie Nirbaak in 2015.## Stay tuned...

"Being Human was created to clean Salman Khan's public image": Abhinav Singh Kashyap; Arbaaz Khan reacts

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been in media headlines for various reasons in the last few days. One of the reasons is his fallout with the Dabangg director Abhinav Singh Kashyap who earlier had made serious accusations on Salman for destroying his career.## Now, in his latest post on Facebook, the director has claimed that Salman Khan's 'Being Human' was only created to clean the actor's public image so that he could get benefitted from the criminal cases against him. ## On Friday (June 19), Abhinav Singh Kashyap wrote on Facebook, "Janaab Salim Khan’s biggest idea is Being Human. The charity done by Being Human is just a show-off. Five cycles used to be distributed in front of my eyes during the shooting of ‘Dabangg’, the next day the newspapers would print that the generous Salman Khan has donated 5000 cycles to the poor. It was all an effort to clean Salman Khan’s image so that the media and the judges were kind to them in his criminal court cases."## "They are making money by fooling the innocent public. They are selling Rs 500 jeans for Rs 5000 and And do not know in what ways money laundering is going on in the name of charity. These clever people are collecting notes from the innocent public by throwing dust in their eyes. Their intention is not to give anything to anyone, but to only acquire from people. The government needs to probe Being Human… I will cooperate with the government.”## ## Now, Arbaaz Khan has reacted to the allegations and stated to a daily that they (Khan family) have taken legal action against the Dabangg director. They have also complained to the film association. Instead of getting in fight they have decided to take the legal route against him. They have already filed a defamation case against him. ## Stay tuned...
