Saif Ali Khan says, “I have been a victim of nepotism, no one talks about that!”

Sushant Singh Rajput’s sudden demise has sparked the debate on nepotism in Bollywood. Now every actor is coming forward and talking about nepotism which they have faced in the Bollywood industry. The internet has been flooded with angry comments for the likes of Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Sonam Kapoor and Salman Khan, among others. Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt and Sonam Kapoor also lost their few followings on social media platforms.

Now, actor Saif Ali Khan opened about nepotism in the film industry. Reacting to the nepotism row and Kangana Ranaut’s strong remarks against its practice in the industry, he said, “I have no idea what Kangana was saying on Koffee with Karan because I don’t think like that. As far as Karan is concerned, he has made himself a large symbol and it seems like he’s attracting a lot of flak for it. The truth is always complicated. There’s much more to it but people aren’t interested in that. I hope the tide is over and better things shine through.”

As per reports from The New Indian Express “There is inequality in India that needs to be explored. Nepotism, favoritism and camps are different subjects. Even I have been a victim of nepotism but nobody speaks of that. I’m happy to see more people from film institutes come to the forefront,”

Saif also talked about his experience of working with the late Sushant Singh Rajput in Dil Bechara that’s coming out on July 24 on Disney+ Hotstar.
“He was a talented actor and a good-looking guy. I thought he had a bright future. He was polite to me and appreciated my guest appearance in the film. He wanted to talk about many topics like astronomy and philosophy. I got the feeling he was brighter than I was.”
