Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely demise raised a lot of uncomfortable questions and debates in the film fraternity. Under an uncalled for public trial, several celebrities were called out for excluding the actor and giving a rise to the never-ending nepotism debate once again.
Speaking of the same, director Hansal Mehta took to his social media to speak of how his son will someday make films but his career will not be shadowed by the success of his father. He wrote, “This nepotism debate must be broadened. Merit counts most. My son got a step in the door because of me. And why not. But he"s been an integral part of my best work because he is talented, disciplined, hardworking and shares similar values as me. Not just because he"s my son. He will make films not because I will produce them. I might not. But because he deserves to make them. He will have a career only if he survives. It is ultimately him and not his father who will build his career. My shadow is both his biggest benefit and greatest bane.”
Replying to this, Alia Bhatt’s mother Soni Razdan spoke of how there is an underlying hypocrisy in the debate and said, “The expectation that people have because of whose son or daughter you are is much more. Also those who r ranting about nepotism today and who have made it on their own will also have kids one day. And what if they want to join the industry? Will they stop them from doing so ?”
