The demise of Sushant Singh Rajput has revived the nepotism debate in a blazing manner. Just after his death, Kangana Ranaut hit out at the industry saying how it had boycotted him over the years. She alleged that films were snatched away from him and he was the victim of nasty blind items. Kangana Ranaut also slammed Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt for alleging that Sushant Singh Rajput was suffering from a rather severe mental illness. She said that they had even said the same things for her predicting a ‘tragic’ end after the whole controversy with Hrithik Roshan. Kangana Ranaut and Pooja Bhatt had a row on social media yesterday.
Have been asked to comment on the hot topic Nepotism that people are raging about. As someone who hails from a ‘family’ that has launched more new talent-actors,musicians & technicians,than the entire film industry combined I can only laugh.Facts don’t find takers. Fiction does.

There was a time when the Bhatt’s were accused of having something against established actors & made to feel inferior for only working with/launching newcomers & not chasing stars. And now the same people play the nepotism card? Google & tweet guys & won’t even say think & speak.

As for Kangana Ranaut-She is a great talent,if not she wouldn’t have been launched by Vishesh films in “Gangster”.Yes Anurag Basu discovered her,but Vishesh Films backed his vision & invested in the film. No small feat. Here’s wishing her the very best in all her endeavours.

Dear @PoojaB1972, #AnuragBasu had keen eyes to spot Kangana’s talent, everyone knows Mukesh Bhatt does not like to pay artists, to get talented people for free is a favour many studios do on themselves but that doesn’t give your father a license to throw chappals at her…(1/2) https://t.co/5afdsJJx4F

…call her mad and humiliate her. He also announced her “tragic end”, Also why was he so invested in Sushant Singh Rajpoot’s and Rhea’s relationship? Why did he announce his end too, some of the questions you must ask him ? (2/2)@PoojaB1972

For your info @PoojaB1972 Kangana had also auditioned for Pokiri, alongside Gangster & got selected for that as well. Pokiri went on to become an all time blockbuster, so your thinking that because of Gangster she is who she is, is totally not working. Water finds it’s level?

As we know, Mukesh Bhatt said in a TV interview just after Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise that he found the actor ‘lost’ during the narration. He told Times Now, “I had met him on a number of occasions. He had come to our office for Aashiqui 2, but things didn’t work out then. Then when we were beginning Sadak 2, Alia and Mahesh Bhatt said that Sushant was very keen. He came over and met me, we spent about an hour talking about various things. I could make out he was a very disturbed soul. There was something about him that I felt, he was not connected. That bothered me more than anything else. It was about a year-and-a-half back. He was a very disturbed boy. He was not there, while talking to me, I felt that he was not on the same plain. There was something amiss, something wrong.” He further said that he felt Sushant Singh Rajput was going the ‘Parveen Babi way’ and told the same to Mahesh Bhatt. We know that the late actress suffered from schizophrenia.
Kangana Ranaut had lashed out at them for being so insensitive. She said, “Now his brother is jumping into this whole thing and claiming that Sushant was turning Parveen Babi. Who is he to say that? Sushant was a rank holder; he also left a scholarship from Stanford University to pursue his dreams. Something that their (Bhatt) children cannot even think of. Tomorrow if their children hang themselves on the roof and somebody jumps up and comments that it just happened because they were becoming like Parveen Babi, I want to see how they feel about it.”
