Recently, late actor Inder Kumar's wife Pallavi took to her Instagram page to pen a long note, in which she said that her actor-husband was a victim of nepotism, and made some serious allegations against Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan.
Pallavi shared that before Inder Kumar passed away, he went to two Bollywood 'big shots' asking for work. Apparently, Inder kept requesting projects from them for 15 days, only to be told by their managers that there was no work for him every single time.

Pallavi 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 a peak in 90s. Before he passed away I still remember he went to 2 people big shots asking for work as 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 happened. He made us wait outside his van for 2 hrs. Then his manager Garima comes and says karan is busy.

She continued in her post, "The same behaviour was given to Inder by non 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 manger Pooja... she did the same wat garima did.... Can one imagine and believe dat there has not been any work available in these two production houses."
Pallavi Says Nepotism Needs To Stop Since People Are Dying
"Karan johar has said many times he works with stars... well my husband was a star ... still people remember him by his work. 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 dieing and these big shots are still not understanding the effect. Government should take strict action against such people," she concluded her explosive post.
Earlier, when Sushant passed away. Inder's wife Pallavi wrote on her Instagram page, "A biggest laugh to Bollywood from my side. Since 2 days I see people saying that this industry is very helpful. But one has to fight his or her own problems. Suicide is not an answer.... nor is heart attack.... REALLY !!!!!! Can anyone please answer that when he or she tries to fight their problems .... goes to people of the industry asking for help....Then why nobody helps ...... situation of their problems make them beg... tab bade log kyu nahi help karte.... aisa toh nahi hai ki help karne se unka career khatam ho jayega.... (why don't established people help at that time....it's not that their careers will be over by helping someone) that time why can't they be only Human....and show some humanity....I have suffered the pain... and have been the eye witness to the un helpful attitude of Bollywood."
Inder Kumar is best remembered for films like Masoom, Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi and Wanted. The actor passed away due to cardiac arrest at the age of 43 in 2017.
