Actress Neha Dhupia , in a strongly-worded post on Saturday, slammed singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi’s tweet about her getting talk shows because of”chamchagiri” (bootlicking) in Bollywood and called it “the most distasteful and disgraceful tweet” that she has ever read about herself.
In her tweet, Suchitra Krishnamoorthi also made an unprofessional remark about Neha Dhupia’s friendship with filmmaker Karan Johar and wrote: “Peeps, it’s not #nepotisminbollywood one should aggravate against but chamchagiri (bootlicking). I mean how did Neha Dhupia suddenly get all these talk shows except that she is Karan Johar’s new bestie and Femina Miss India 2002!! – she’s no blood relative or star kid. Is she?”

Reacting to Suchitra Krishnamoorthy’s tweet Neha Dhupia said she’s “proud to be self-made” and wrote: “Dear ma’am, this is possibly the most distasteful and disgraceful tweet I have read (trust me I have read a lot) to reduce a friendship of many years, that you know nothing about speaks volumes of you and the time you have at hand. I am proud to be self-made … a proud daughter, wife and mother… and I have the deepest regards for women who can acknowledge that. #strongwomensupportstrongwomen.”
The nepotism debate has gained fresh momentum after the demise of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput on June 14, as netizens feel the late actor was a victim of the alleged practice in the film industry where star kids are given priority over outsiders.
