It has been exactly one year since we lost Sushant Singh Rajput.

Sushant Singh Rajput | Real Solution of Nepotism | One Year Later | Sohail khan

A very talented actor, a superb dancer, and an entertainer that had a lot of interest in things like space and quantum mechanics. He enjoyed watching stars and planets with his enormous telescope. A rare celebrity on whose social media, you'd find everything from cryptic philosophical posts to poetry. He had many dreams. He was an entire world in and of himself. The day when we got to know of his death, not only Bollywood but also the entire country was shocked. Everyone was shocked when they got to know about it. And after his death, the topic 'Nepotism' was much talked about.

Nepotism was a topic that was slandered a lot. While some jobless people used it for their publicity. At other places, it became political fodder.

But nowhere did we see any constructive debate on Nepotism. About the solutions to counter this problem. In today's article, friends, I'd like to speak on this topic. And talk about these solutions.

What exactly is Nepotism? How can we counter it? Let's try to find out in today's article.

Nepotism is a topic that came to the forefront even a few years ago when three celebrities said this in an award show. "Nepotism Rocks!"

"Nepotism Rocks!" "Nepotism Rocks!"

What sense did it have? How can a thing like Nepotism be celebrated?

Should they have said 'nepotism rocks' or 'talent rocks'? Friends, some celebrities compare nepotism with quota. Like some people get a quota (or reservation) while giving an exam and they want nepotism to be considered as such. Not only this some celebrities also believe that nepotism helps to get the first film only. After which, only the person's talent plays a role. Someone should ask them, is it that easy to get the first film? For an outsider, it is a huge achievement to get the first film in Bollywood. They have to struggle tirelessly to reach that point. These are the arguments used to justify nepotism.

The second question here is to what extent do we get to see nepotism?

Let's talk of the Bollywood industry first.First, the entire Kapoor family. Prithvi Raj Kapoor's son Raj Kapoor.



Raj Kapoor's son Rishi Kapoor. And Rishi Kapoor's son Ranbir Kapoor. Raj Kapoor's other son Randhir Kapoor. Randhir Kapoor's daughter Kareena Kapoor. Second, Sharmila Tagore's son Saif Ali Khan. And Saif Ali Khan's daughter Sara Ali Khan. The third is the family of Dharmendra. His sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol. His daughter Esha Deol.

His nephew Abhay Deol. And now Sunny Deol's son has also debuted, Karan Deol. He got a role in one of the latest movies. The lead role. Other than this, Suniel Dutt's son Sanjay Dutt. Amitabh Bachchan's son Abhishek Bachchan. Rakesh Roshan's son Hrithik Roshan. There are so many examples in Bollywood of this that one has to look thoroughly to find the outsiders. Where and who is an outsider? Among the few names that come to my mind is of Sushant Singh Rajput himself, one would be Ayushmann Khurrana. Another is Rajkumar Rao. Now I'd like to ask you a critical question.

Should we count only the children of the actors and actresses among 'Star Kids' for nepotism?The famous filmmakers, directors, and writers,

shouldn't their children get roles offered to be also counted for nepotism?

Like filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's daughter Alia Bhatt. Who has become a superstar now? Shall she be also counted for nepotism? There are many more examples of this. Salim Khan's son Salman Khan. Javed Akhter's son Farhan Akhter. Amir Khan's father and uncle were film producers and filmmakers. Now I'd like to take this question a step further. Politician's children who've become actors. Riteish Deshmukh. His father Vilas Rao Deshmukh was the Chief Minister of Maharashtra for two terms.

Did he use his power to help his son become an actor or to get a film?

What do you think? Had nepotism played a role here as well?

Let's go a step further. If a superstar's parents aren't Bollywood insiders or politicians themselves but they have a very close connection with politicians and Bollywood insiders Amitabh Bachchan's father the legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan and his mother Teji Bachchan.

It's believed that they had a very close connection with the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

And look at this photo.


Shah Rukh Khan's mother is standing with then PM Indira Gandhi. Can it be possible that at the beginning of his career, Shah Rukh Khan might've gotten some help because of this connection? Maybe. Maybe not. But I'd like to tell you one fact, Shah Rukh Khan and Irfan Khan had started around the same time. But ever since the beginning, Shah Rukh Khan got lead roles first in TV and later in films. But Irfan Khan had to wait for 15 years to get lead roles in films. There's a similar story involving Amitabh Bachchan as well. Ever since he landed in Bombay, he has been getting lead roles. So definitely, the topic of nepotism arises here as well. Do influential people use their connections to help their children in such a way that is unfair to the rest? Till now, I've talked about the connections only. What happens if money is used to get this unfair advantage? Should that be counted as nepotism too? Suppose Vijay Mallaya wants to launch his son Siddharth Mallaya in a lead role in a Bollywood film How difficult will it be for him to do so? He has unimaginable wealth. There are some connections as well. But his wealth is his strength. It will be very easy for him to do this. Friends, in my opinion, all these examples will fall into the category of nepotism. To a different degree. In some, there is only a little nepotism. In others, nepotism plays a significant role.

When it is tried to make the same starting line.

For the solutions to deal with the issue of Nepotism, if we can take inspiration from someone, it can be no other than Sushant Singh Rajput himself. In Sushant's Dreams list, there were several projects like

sending more than 100 underprivileged kids to NASA or ISRO to train. He wanted to encourage such things. And when he gave his views on nepotism, he had said this.

"Nepotism is there, is there, is everywhere.

It's not just in Bollywood. So nepotism can coexist.And nothing would happen. But at the same time, if you deliberately don't allow the right talent to come up, then there is a problem." He had accepted that nepotism is a reality. And it can be seen everywhere in almost every aspect of life. When you have kids, you will try your best to give them the best possible life. There's nothing wrong with it. Sushant Singh Rajput believed that

nepotism can coexist. But the focus should be on creating the same starting line. To give a fair chance to other people. That is the most important thing. In his life, he worked hard to achieve this. So I believe, that if you love him and respect him then learn from him. Uselessly trolling, starting trends on Twitter, and abusing other actors and superstars, will lead you nowhere.

Learn from him and positively try to help underprivileged people in different aspects and fields of life. Try to bring equality of opportunity in society. And encourage and pressurize the government to do the same. Doing this will truly be the most respectful thing you can do for Sushant Singh Rajput.

I hope you've liked the blog friends.

Let's meet in the next article.

Thank you very much!
