The
Hindi
film
industry
has
received
negative
coverage
in
the
media
recently,
following
the
death
of
Sushant
Singh
Rajput.
Members
of
the
film
fraternity
have
come
out
in
defence
of
the
industry,
and
slammed
its
exaggerated
and
incorrect
portrayal
in
the
media.
Actor
Amyra
Dastur
is
of
the
opinion
that
Bollywood
is
India's
go-to
scapegoat.
She
observes
that
if
anything
bad
happens,
the
Bollywood
automatically
receives
blame.
She
acknowledges
the
range
of
issues
that
can
be
improved
in
the
industry,
but
also
points
that
no
industry
is
perfect
that
way.
Speaking
to
Hindustan
Times,
Amyra
opened
up
on
her
perspective
of
the
insider-outsider
debate.
"As
an
outsider
it
definitely
hurts
to
see
star
kids
getting
roles
you
feel
they
haven't
earned.
But
you
can't
hold
it
against
them.
If
you're
given
an
advantage
in
life
then
you
should
capitalise
on
it.
Ultimately,
the
audience
decides
and
if
they
like
someone
then
they
themselves
will
follow
them
and
increase
the
persons
popularity.
Unfortunately,
we're
so
stuck
on
hating
star
kids
that
we
don't
realise
if
the
audience
channels
that
hate
into
kindness
for
promoting
outsiders,
it
would
change
the
game," she
said.
When
asked
about
the
existence
of
favouritism
and
groupism,
she
said,
"Yes,
it
does.
But
it
exists
in
every
industry.
We
don't
live
in
a
black
and
white
world.
There
are
favourites
and
there
is
groupism
which
you
need
to
deal
with.
The
boycotting
is
something
that
I
don't
agree
with
and
I
believe
it
needs
to
be
tackled.
You
can
have
your
favourites
but
you
shouldn't
put
someone
down
because
they
don't
adhere
to
your
opinions.
That's
what
the
problem
is,
not
favouritism
but
the
boycotting
and
catty
environment.
Putting
people
down
has
become
so
easy
lately
with
social
media
or
blind
items
or
even
in
film
criticism.
These
kinds
of
personal
attacks
cause
major
mental
trauma
and
it
needs
to
be
filtered
and
stopped."
Talking
about
work,
Amyra
was
last
seen
in
the
film
Made
In
China,
starring
alongside
Rajkummar
Rao,
Mouni
Roy,
Boman
Irani
and
others.
She
will
next
be
seen
in
Pilfer
Singh,
a
Hindi
remake
of
the
Telugu
movie
Raju
Gadu.
