Sonu Sood Reacts to Nepotism Debate: It is Not Right to Blame One Section of Bollywood

Sonu Sood on Nepotism Debate: People Will Talk For Few Days Then Move on.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has sparked off debates and discussions on nepotism pertaining in Bollywood. People have also pointed out that bullying and mental pressure that outsiders face in the industry is unfair. Reacting on the nepotism debate, Sonu Sood in an interview said that people will talk about this for a few days and then move on. He asserted that a new outsider will come into the industry and he will too struggle to get noticed and bag a film.

Reminiscing the time when he was a struggler himself, he said that he handed Rs 500 to the watchman to let him enter the Film City and watch a shooting. During that time, somebody asked him if he was an actor, to which he replied no and said that he is here to watch the shooting. He felt that it is very easy to become an actor but it doesn’t happen like that in reality. He went onto say, “No matter how talented and strong you are, it is very difficult to make a mark in the industry. There are hardly people in the industry who are outsiders and have become successful in the industry. I had my share of struggles and today I can proudly say that it made me a better and wiser man.”

Not fair my brother. I run short of words to describe how I feel today. You were an achiever my friend and everyone who knew you was so proud of you💔 wish you had stayed at the crease a little longer. Will miss you always bhai…. Always. Today we lost a friend, a colleague & this loss is irreparable. I request my friends from the media not to sensationalise this, I request everyone not to share his last images. A boy who came to this city with dreams in his eyes and achieved so much, has left us forever. Let him rest in peace. 🙏

Speaking about one section of Bollywood being targeted, he said, “It is not right to blame one section of the industry for someone’s death. It is very difficult for those individuals also to hear someone blame you for someone’s death. These are the people who have given life to a lot of people in the industry. One needs to respect that and let time decide what is right.”

Speaking on Sushant’s death, he said that it is a huge tragedy and a lot of people have great things to say about him. He stated that people have great things to say about him and he feels that people should stay calm and not pounce on somebody and hold them responsible.
