Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
sudden
death
has
triggered
a
debate
on
nepotism
not
just
in
Bollywood,
but
also
in
the
music
industry.
Recently,
when
popular
playback
singer
Sonu
Nigam
called
out
the
favouritism
and
mafia
in
the
music
industry,
he
was
backed
by
many
other
singers
like
Monali
Thakur,
Adnan
Sami
and
others.
Now,
singer-composer
Amaal
Mallik
is
the
latest
celebrity
to
jump
into
the
nepotism
debate.
In
a
recent
interview
with
Times
of
India,
the
'Zara
Thehro'
singer
shared
his
opinion
on
the
ongoing
discussion,
and
said
that
it
might
be
tougher
for
those
who
belong
to
a
'name'
family.
'My
Brother
Armaan
Didn't
Get
The
Opportunity
Because
He
Was
So
And
So's
Kid,'
Says
Amaal
A
Times
of
India
report
quoted
Amaal
as
saying,
"First
of
all,
with
due
respect
to
my
dad,
he
wasn't
an
ace
composer.
He
never
got
the
success
that
my
uncle
did.
So
it
wasn't
a
phone
call
that
went
and
someone
said,
‘Please
listen
to
my
son,
he
is
a
composer'.
He's
obviously
done
his
share
of
songs
and
he
found
his
little
bit
of
success.
When
Armaan
sang
his
first
song
for
Vishal
Dadlani,
he
didn't
know
that
they
were
making
Daboo
Malik's
son
sing.
He
went
inside
the
studio
when
he
was
10-11,
sang
a
scratch
and
it
went
on
to
be
part
of
Bhoothnath.
He
didn't
get
the
opportunity
because
he
was
so
and
so's
kid."
However,
Amaal
Agrees
He
Has
An
Advantage
Because
He
Knows
How
Things
Work
He
continued,
"A
lot
of
people
have
that
notion
that
it
must
have
been
easier
for
me
because
I
had
the
Mallik
tag.
But
I
don't
feel
it's
right.
With
due
respect
to
someone
like
Ankit
Tiwari
who
leaves
everything
at
home
to
come
and
make
it
big
here
without
any
backing,
I
agree
I
have
an
advantage.
I
know
how
things
work.
I
have
seen
the
failures
of
my
family
members
so
I
know
how
it
would
work
and
that's
the
only
difference.
I
have
been
doing
it
since
the
age
of
19,
but
I
got
my
first
film
at
24."
Amaal
Recalls
How
He
Bagged
His
Music
Debut
The
singer
said
that
when
he
went
with
his
brother
and
mother
to
meet
Salman
Khan
on
a
film
set,
to
try
to
get
their
music
to
him,
they
waited
for
7
hours
until
he
could
hear
a
CD
of
their
work."We
wanted
someone
to
launch
our
music
and
maybe
just
say
something
if
he
liked
it.
Because
the
music
was
good,
he
gave
us
an
opportunity,"
Amaal
told
the
tabloid.
'It's
Not
Happened
Overnight
For
Me
Or
My
Brother,' Says
Amaal
"For
one
year,
I
had
no
work.
I
don't
think
anyone
repeated
me
just
like
other
newcomers.
So
it's
been
a
50-50
situation.
It's
not
happened
overnight
for
me
or
my
brother
as
well.
Maybe,
it's
even
a
bit
tougher
for
people
who
have
a
name,"
Amaal
was
quoted
as
saying
by
Times
of
India.
Earlier,
Amaal
Had
Penned
An
Emotional
Note
Post
Sushant's
Death
"I
have
no
words
to
explain
this
loss
,
but
I
will
try
😞😞 Some
one
who
made
me
&
a
million
people
believe
that
one
can
achieve
so
much
if
you
just
believe
and
work
hard. @sushantsinghrajput
:
A
simple
talented
man
with
no
filmy
background,
came
&
proved
his
mettle
in
this
man
eat
man
industry. As
a
human
being,
I
didnt
know
him
too
much
but
I
spent
a
few
hours
with
him
post
the
MS
Dhoni
Biopic
release
and
he
was
child
like
and
funny. He
was
very
supportive
and
constantly
had
only
praise
for
my
music. I'm
really
saddened
that
we
have
lost
him
this
soon. #MSDhoni
was
our
turning
point
together....
My
first
solo
soundtrack
and
his
most
challenging
role.
It
will
always
remain
special
🙏🏻🖤 I
could
see
the
dreams
in
his
eyes
during
the
screening,
and
the
whole
team
knew
what
he
had
achieved. No
one
could've
done
justice
to
the
Role
of
@mahi7781
💯
He
inspired
an
entire
generation
with
his
performance
as
the
Indian
Captain
and
shattered
the
myth
that
Biopics
are
not
big
cash
earners.There
was
so
much
more
to
him
as
an
actor
that
we
will
never
see
sadly.
Dedicating
our
song
back
to
you
:
Kya
ye
ujaale,
kya
ye
andhere Dono
se
aage
hai
manzar
tere, Kyun
roshni
tu
baahar
talaashe Teri
mashaale
hain
ander
tere, Kyun
dhoondna
pairon
ke
nishaan Jaaye
wahin

jahaan #Besabriyaan
@manojmuntashir

May
his
soul
rest
in
peace
