Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely death by suicide has sparked the nepotism debate on social media and celebrities like Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Sonam Kapoor and others have been called out for making Sushant feel left out or excluded from the industry. The internet is flooded with angry comments with Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Sonam Kapoor and Salman Khan facing the maximum ire. Salman Khan Massively Trolled After His Sushant Singh Rajput Tweet request to fans Most of these celebs have limited the comments settings on their Instagram accounts to keep trolls at bay. And now, Alia Bhatt’s mother Soni Razdan has opened up about the on-going nepotism row. She has said that the same people who are ‘ranting’ about the issue today will support their kids if they want to join the industry. The entire conversation started with director Hansal Mehta’s tweet. Soni was replying to a tweet by director Hansal Mehta, in which he had called for a broadening of the "nepotism debate." “This nepotism debate must be broadened. Merit counts most. My son got a step in the door because of me. And why not. But he’s been an integral part of my best work because he is talented, disciplined, hardworking and shares similar values as me. Not just because he’s my son,” Hansal wrote on Tuesday. Hansal continued, ‘He will make films not because I will produce them. I might not. But because he deserves to make them. He will have a career only if he survives. It is ultimately him and not his father who will build his career. My shadow is both his biggest benefit and greatest bane.”

The expectation that people have because of whose son or daughter you are is much more. Also thise who r ranting about nepotism today and who have made it on their own will also have kids one day. And what if they want to join the industry? Will they stop them from doing so ?
