"It is not new", Sushmita Sen gives her opinion on nepotism

Ever since Sushant Singh Rajput has committed suicide, there has been a debate between the insiders viruses outsiders in the industry. Netizens and a few industry people think that Bollywood does not fully accept outsiders hence, star kids get more opportunities. After Sushant's death, nepotism has yet again become the talk of the town and many star kids are under the scanner.

Because of the continuous trolling of star kids and so many negative comments on social media on nepotism, Sonakshi Sinha has quit Twitter while Sonam Kapoor has disabled comment section on Instagram to keep themselves away from negativity.



Now, when everyone is giving their opinion on this hot topic, former miss world, Sushmita Sen who has established herself in the industry was asked to give her take on nepotism in a recent interview.

Speaking to a leading daily, the actress gave her insights. "There has been a discussion about it all over the media and everywhere at this moment. (But) We all have been enduring it, it is not new. Is this something that we have just realized? That competitiveness - or now everybody says this word 'nepotism' - is a truth you have known for as long as the industry has existed. With awareness, social, and digital space, it has increased thousands of folds".

The actress further believes that blaming one person or pointing fingers is not the right thing to do, "People should not, in any profession, be destructive or envious of other people’s success. You may not always applaud it but to be envious generates this kind of vicious circle where people just (think) ‘he thought bad of me now wait till his release, I will think bad of him".



"It is a vicious circle that continues and nobody ends up gaining, everybody losses. If it needs to change, then all of us need to take responsibility, not one person," Sushmita Sen further added.

On the work front, Sushmita Sen has been getting overwhelming response for her role in Ram Madhvani’s crime drama web series streaming on Hotstar. Fans are delighted to see Sushmita on screen after a long time. She was last seen in a Bengali movie Nirbaak in 2015.
