In
light
of
the
tragic
death
by
suicide
of
Sushant
Singh
Rajput,
the
debate
over
nepotism
in
Bollywood
has
been
renewed.
Many
celebrities
such
as
Ranvir
Shorey,
Manoj
Bajpayee,
Dibakar
Banerjee,
Koena
Mitra,
Raveena
Tandon,
Shekar
Kapur
and
others
have
stated
that
the
clannish
environment
does
make
it
harder
for
talents
with
no
family
ties
to
the
industry,
to
sustain
and
survive.
To
provide
an
example
of
this,
Ranvir
took
to
his
Twitter
handle
to
recount
a
story
from
an
award
show.
He
wrote
how
once,
a
popular
Bollywood
actor,
who
was
also
hosting
the
show,
was
handed
the
Best
Actor
award
by
his
own
parents.
Ranvir
seemed
to
hint
that
the
whole
incident
was
orchestrated.
Ranvir
wrote,
"This
actually
unfolded
on
a
popular
Bollywood
awards
show.
A
star
kid
is
co-hosting
the
show.
They
announce
the
next
category
-
Best
Actor.
The
nominees
are
played
out,
and
the
star
kid
is
one
of
the
nominees.
Surprise-surprise!
To
present
the
award,
the
hosts
invite
two
esteemed
film
personalities,
who
happen
to
be
the
star
kid's
parents.
What
a
sweet
coincidence!"
He
continued,
"The
presenters
open
the
envelope
and
announce
the
winner
to
be
-
drumroll
please!
-
the
star
kid,
of
course!
What
a
Kodak
family
moment!
The
star
kid
walks
from
the
host's
dias
to
accept
the
award
and
makes
a
short
thank
you
speech
and
heads
back
to
hosting
the
rest
of
the
show
like
business
as
usual.
This
is
how
mainstream
Bollywood
is
a
family.

The
End

Following
Sushant's
death,
Ranvir
had
tweeted,
"It
wouldn't
be
fair
to
blame
someone
for
a
step
that
he
took
himself.
He
was
playing
a
high
stakes
game,
where
it's
win
or
lose
it
all.
But
something
has
to
be
said
about
the
self
appointed
'gatekeepers
of
Bollywood'.
Something
has
to
be
said
about
the
games
they
play,
and
their
two
facedness."
