Anyone showing Kangana her place..m on his/her side.That woman needs to be called out.🥳

Called out for what?

Is the point that nepotism doesn't exist?

Also, fairly objectively speaking, if she didn't continue ... Sushant's case would have garnered so much of public attention..

It is not REPUBLIC whose case made it a sensation (and i mean it in a nice sense), she did

And, i am really not convinced that cabal doesn't exist

So when Kangana is on the receiving end suddenly all the rules change and it’s okay for certain things to be said lol

Kangana cant call Alia dumb but Naseer can call Kangana half educated lol .... I guess logic has died lately

Naseeruddin Shah dismisses insider-outsider debate, movie mafia narrative: ‘No one interested in opinions of some half educated starlet’

Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah said that the conversation around late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death in June is ‘absolutely sickening’ and that some people have been using the tragedy to voice their frustrations with the film industry. He also dismissed the insider-outsider debate, calling it ‘bulls***’.

In an interview with India Today Television, Naseeruddin said that ‘every person who has any little frustration’ with the industry has been talking to the media about Sushant. “It is absolutely sickening. I have not followed it. I felt deeply grieved when the young man died. I did not know him but he had a bright future and it was a waste of a life. But I did not bother to follow the nonsense that’s being spouted by a whole lot of people. Every person who has any little frustration in his mind, in his heart, about the commercial industry, has been vomiting it out to the press. It is absolutely disgusting. I mean, keep these complaints to yourself, no one is interested,” he said.

Naseeruddin said that one must let the law take its course: “No one is interested in the opinions of some half educated starlet who decides to take it upon herself to, you know, get justice for Sushant. If there is justice that needs to be done, I think we need to have faith in the process of the law and if it is none of our business, I think we should not concern ourselves with it.”

The insider-outsider debate has also been reignited in the wake of Sushant’s death, with many alleging that he was shunned in Bollywood and lost out on films for being an outsider. Since then, his angry fans have started an online campaign calling for the boycott of star kids.

Naseeruddin dismissed the debate and said, “I don’t understand this insider-outsider nonsense that’s going on. I mean, it’s a whole lot of rubbish and we should be put an end to this, it’s bulls***. Why would not I, who have had a secure happy life as an actor, encourage my son to go into the same profession? Would not an industrialist do it, would not a lawyer do it, would not a doctor not do it? Would not anybody do it? You mean to say that Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s descendents should not have become singers?” He added that ‘nepotism gets you to a certain point’, after which it takes talent for survival.

Imaad Shah and Vivaan Shah, Naseeruddin’s sons, are both actors. Imaad has acted in films such as Dil Dosti Etc and Little Zizou, while Vivaan starred in films such as 7 Khoon Maaf and Happy New Year.

Naseeruddin also said that the ‘movie mafia’ does not exist. Most famously, actor Kangana Ranaut has claimed that she was targeted by the movie mafia for speaking up about nepotism. She alleged in a recent interview that the movie mafia ruined her financial prospects, made her a social pariah, killed all her chances of getting married and also tried to destroy her career.

“This is all a concoction of certain imaginative minds, ‘the mafia in the industry’. Naturally, I’ll give preference to people I like and the people who I work well with. If they also happen to be famous, or they happen to be the children of famous people, how the hell is it their fault? There is no mafia. I have not ever felt any obstacle to my work. I’ve made very slow progress over the last 40-45 years in my profession, but I’ve never felt that there’s some obstacle that is preventing me from getting to where I deserve,” the actor said about the existence of a mafia in Bollywood.

Naseeruddin, who has been awarded the Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan for his contribution to Indian cinema, is also a three-time National Award winner. He was last seen in the Amazon Prime Video series Bandish Bandits.

Is his money at stake.. trying so hard to defend the bigwigs..

you know what they say, one who says "I don't lie" is the biggest lier.

Nepotism exists everywhere, every freaking place and country.. SO, to say it DOES NOT exist shows how bad and strong it is in BW

I agree with him! Doctors want their kids to become doctors in future, engineers want their kids to peruse engineering. It’s all around us.

First invent a screening test for actors like there is IIT JEE for engineers and NEET/AIIMS/JIPMER for doctors then we'll see. Comparing a profession like acting with the other professions which require thorough knowledge and hard work( not plastic surgery/PR) is as absurd as it gets.

Every field requires hard work and talent. In case of an actor you may not have to give IIT or JEE but they have to prove themselves to the audience. That’s their test. If it was all about PR and plastic surgery then Rakhi Sawant and krk would have been super successful😆

Gosh, what is this, again and again, doctor ke beta doctor and builder ke bets builder, that is nonsense and that is not the issue.

The issue is when you snatch the opportunities coming to another person and give it to your son, that is the issue. when someone else deserves a seat and you pay crores and buy that seat for your son/daughter, that is an issue.

where is the proof that a role was snatched from Sushant and given to someone else?

i don't want rumors, i want solid proof.

Oh everything is allowed when it comes to others in the forum , it's ok though, it shows how much every tweet it affects people.

If people are not supposed to raise their voice on SSR , and let law and order take its course, then why was Bollywood standing for Sanjay Dutt, why was there placards for Shaheen bagh, why was there placards for intolerance.....

Was he blind when all this happened or us he part of the leftist brigade of Bollywood oops Bullywood as KR puts it.

As I said if you do not belong to any camp, this is how they attack in packs.
