After the shocking demise of Sushant Singh Rajput on 14th June 2020, the insider vs outsider debate came to the surface. Celebs even became vocal, and gave their opinion on ‘nepotism’ and ‘gangism’ in the Bollywood Industry. In a recent interview, senior actor Rahul Roy shared that, one must focus on profession and enjoy the process because the industry is not a nice place.
While sharing more about the showbiz in an interview with Hindustan Times, actor Rahul Roy was quoted as saying, “Having said that, there’s a chance to be able to break through those walls and achieve something. Look at it as a challenge, not everybody can go through. With web platforms coming in, a lot of newcomers are also getting opportunities. But from the producers’ point of view, how many have the guts to really make something which is totally with newcomers? At the end of the day, the business is structured in India not on the content, but which star is driving it. And that’s been there for many years.”
When the actor was asked about the young stars who commit suicide, because they could not make big in the industry, he answered, “Who knows who went through that particular weak moment. I’m just saying, anybody who wants to come into this profession, come with the right mentality and stability, to make sure, no matter what anybody is saying or trying to push you into a corner, you’ll be able to take that. Because that, unfortunately isn’t going to go away. With social media, people are only becoming more aware about it, which is a great start.”
Further he also mentioned that he does not comment on someone who has committed suicide because he did not know that person personally. Hence, he stays away from the debate.
