After Sushant’s brutal death due to suicide, the Nepotism debate has re-started about how Bollywood lobbies pull the plug on struggling actors.

On Monday, Raveena Tandon recalled her past lows, when she was ousted from films by the influence of the male stars, when a lot of articles were propagated in the media to spoil her image and how she was left broken by that treatment. This comes after Sushant Singh Rajput’s sad demise due to suicide, had re-started the nepotism debate in Bollywood. 

Raveena Tandon revisits old wounds:

Although Raveena belongs to a film family, her father was a filmmaker, Ravi Tandon; she too was a victim of “mean girl gangs” and camps of the industry. The popular 90s actress revealed shocking details of group- ism on her social media and wrote,” Mean girl gang of the industry. Camps do exist. Made fun of, removed from films by heroes, their girlfriends, journo chamchas and their career destroying fake media stories. Sometimes careers are destroyed, you struggle to keep afloat. Fight back. Some survive some don’t. #oldwoundsrevisited”.  

Raveena posted another tweet and said,” When you speak the truth, you are branded a liar, mad, psychotic. Chamcha journos write pages and pages destroying all the hard work that you might have done. Even though born in the industry, grateful for all it has given me, but dirty politics played by some can leave a sour taste.”

Raveena explained that Bollywood ostracizes people irrespective of their surnames. “It can happen to someone born within, an “insider” as I can hear insider/outsider words, some anchors blaring away. But you fight back. Dirty politics happens everywhere but sometimes someone roots for good to win and evil to lose.”  

After Sushant Singh Rajput’s passing, celebrities like Ranvir Shorey, Meera Chopra, Nikhil Dwivedi and Pallavi Sharda also spoke up about how tough it is to survive in the film industry.
