Sonu Sood Opens Up On Nepotism Amid Sushant’s Demise And Few Fans Are Not Happy

Sushant Singh Rajput, 34, left for his heavenly abode on June 14. Since then, the debate on nepotism and favouritism gained ground on social media. With Sushant’s fans calling out to those who failed to recognise his talent, brilliance and didn’t help when he needed them most, several Bollywood celebrities were slammed. Netizens are accusing Bollywood’s biggies and starkids to be the reason behind Sushant’s incident and leading him to take the huge step of ending his life.

Now actor Sonu Sood who has been in the news for quite some time now for all the good work he has done for the migrants during the COVID-19 lockdown opened up about nepotism and his journey in the film industry. Talking to Hindustan Times, he opened up about his struggle in the Bollywood industry and gave his take on the ‘Insider VS Outsider’ debate on social media post the untimely demise of Sushant Singh Rajput.

Sonu spoke about the overall controversy and said that people will talk about Sushant’s demise for a few days and then forget about it when something new will make headlines. He further said the cycle of a newcomer entering Bollywood and struggling for work will continue.

Speaking about one section of Bollywood being targeted, Sonu Sood Said said,

“It is not right to blame one section of the industry for someone’s death. It is very difficult for those individuals also to hear someone blame you for someone’s death. These are the people who have given life to a lot of people in the industry. One needs to respect that and let time decide what is right.”

Remembering the times when he was a struggling himself, the actor said,

“I gave the watchman at Film City Rs 500 to watch a shooting there. I wore a body-fitting t-shirt so that somebody would notice me. When people asked me if he was an actor, I told them I was just there to watch the shooting. I felt confident and thought it was very easy to become an actor at that time. But it doesn’t happen like that in reality.”

Sonu went on to add,

“No matter how talented and strong you are, it is very difficult to make a mark in the industry. There are hardly people in the industry who are outsiders and have become successful in the industry. I had my share of struggles and today I can proudly say that it made me a better and wiser man.”
