The sudden demise of Sushant Singh Rajput that too because of suicide is creating a lot of debate on nepotism in the film industry. Although no one is directly naming people, a few are abusing Karan Johar on social media that he is also responsible for Sushant lacking opportunities. However, Ram Gopal Varma has given a logical reasoning over the issue on his Twitter profile yesterday.
"How politicians like Mulayam, Uddhav etc give sons, relatives first preference. Like how Dhirubhai will give all his monies to Mukesh, Anil. Like how all families will give their own families first preference similarly Bollywood families do same. So where's nepotism not there? Blaming @karanjohar for what happened is ridiculous and just shows lack of understanding of how film industry works. Even assuming Karan had a problem with Sushant it's his choice of who he wants to work with, like its any filmmakers choice about who they want to work with. If Sushant after 12 yrs of fame and money took his life becos he was made to feel like an outsider then a 100 actors suicides per day will be justified who couldn't reach anywhere near Sushant. If u can't b happy with what u have u will never be happy with whatever u have. Period!" revealed Ram Gopal Varma.
Varma also added, "Also all insiders of Bollywood were sometimes outsiders starting from @SrBachchan onwards. @karanjohar is up there not because he is an insider but because his films are seen by millions. We all know as much failures coming from film families as much as from outside. No matter how many supposedly conspired to drive Sushant out (For what reason I can't fathom when he can make money for them ) there were umpteen others wanting to work with him. But like it was his choice not to do with them, it's the others choice not to work with him."
RGV tweeted, "Bollywood is hard place becos people want to jump to grab stars and higher they jump the harder they are likely to fall. Sushant atleast grabbed the moon, but what about umpteen others who dint take off from ground. Are they supposed to kill themselves blaming the universe? And for all the sound being made on social media about the super talented guy being sidelined the truth is it’s the people who are watching the other actors more than sushant and @Karanjohar couldn't be holding a gun to the audiences head. And if Sushant hung on, then in about 15 or 20 years he would have become an insider when he's launching his own son and some outsider Prashant would have blamed him like how everyone now is blaming @Karanjohar."
RGV concludes it saying, "WITHOUT NEPOTISM SOCIETY WILL COLLAPSE BECAUSE NEPOTISM(FAMILIAL LOVE) IS THE FUNDAMENTAL TENET OF A SOCIAL STRUCTURE. Like u shouldn't love others wife more, u also shouldnt love others children more."
And my prediction is once this fake storm settles all the new outsiders from all over will still queue outside the insider @karanjohar ‘s office becos they know that the social media warriors can do nothing about creating work whereas Karan can provide actual work

Social media warriors can only create snap entertaining tweets for job less bored people, but people like @karanjohar @ektarkapoor #AdityaChopra etc can create actual physical work which will actually feed people

Not knowing why sushant actually did it, but on social media assumption that he did because he was being treated like outsider and not invited to parties then the crores of migrant workers walking bare foot with empty stomachs should have killed themselves multiple times over

The underlying insanity in the minds of social medians fuelled by ignorance is truly scary ..Though as Ayn Rand said “. The majority are nothing but a sum of zeroes “ also true are Nietzsche’s words “ Of many a proud structures ruin, weeds and rain drops have been the cause”
