Saif Ali Khan says he has been a victim of nepotism, gets trolled
After the shocking demise of Sushant Singh Rajput, the topic of nepotism in the Bollywood industry has gained momentum yet again. Soon after the 'Kai Po Che' actor's death, various Bollywood star-kids like Alia Bhatt, Sonam Kapoor, etc as well as filmmaker Karan Johar were lashed on social media. Now actor, Saif Ali Khan, in a recent conversation with The New Indian Express, has shared his opinion on the same and revealed that he himself has been a victim of nepotism. Not only this, but he also shared his thoughts over actress Kangana Ranaut's remarks on the director when she called him the 'flag-bearer of nepotism.'
Saif once appeared at controversial chat show Koffee With Karan with Kangana Ranaut. Talking about the Queen actress remarks, Saif 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."
Talking about how he has been been a victim of nepotism he said, "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."
Soon, people on Twitter started sharing their opinions in the form of jokes and memes over Saif's revelation. Have a look at how he got brutally trolled:
Saif will be making a guest appearance in late Sushant Singh Rajput's last film Dil Bechara. Calling him a 'talented and good-looking actor, Saif said that he wanted to talk about many topics like astronomy and philosophy.
