As reported by National Herald Shatrughan Sinha said there is no discrimination in the industry.

On Sushant Singh Rajput demise the veteran actor said,

“Only God knows what prompted a young handsome talented superstar like Sushant Singh Rajput to take his life. But why are we unnecessarily dragging this issue ? Suddenly everyone is Sushant’s friend, offering two-bits on him. People whom Sushant had never met are an authority on his mental health. This must stop. Let Sushant rest in peace.”

“The debate on nepotism that’s being applied to Sushant’s career is just so irrelevant. The young man had a very successful career. And he was never made to feel like an outsider. This industry welcomes actors from everywhere , from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, everywhere. There is no discrimination here.”

Shatruji feels Karan Johar is being unnecessarily hounded,

“Karan Johar is accused of nepotism. But Siddharth Malhotra was not any industry person’s son. Even Alia Bhatt is not Karan’s rishtedaar, so how is it nepotism? I think it’s time to put a lid on this absurd controversy. Because “

Sharing example of Ayushmann Khurrana he added,

“Because you have Ayushmann Khurrana from the outside being welcomed, and then you have his brother being welcomed. I don’t know of any other industry in India that is so welcoming of outsiders.”
