Saif Ali Khan, Son of Sharmila Tagore, Says He Was Victim of Nepotism

The untimely demise of young and talented star Sushant Singh Rajput has once again kicked off the age-old nepotism and favoritism debate in Bollywood.

Several members of the film industry, as well as disgruntled fans, have since taken it upon themselves to shun the stars who have hitherto come from privilege or "Bollywood lineage". The likes of Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Sonam Kapoor among others have been at the receiving end of the online outrage ever since reports of Singh being let down by many peers in Bollywood surfaced on the Internet.

Now, the nawab of Bollywood Saif Ali Khan has added his two cents on the nepotism debate.
