Late Actor Inder Kumar's Wife Alleges He Was Mistreated By Shah Rukh Khand And Karan Johar When He Reached Out For Work

Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has re-ignited the nepotism debate in Bollywood and Bollywood bigwigs are once again on the radar. While it remains only an unauthenticated argument in the case of the actor’s case that he was bullied in the industry several celebrities have come forward claiming that they have time and again faced ruthless behavior in the industry. Stars like Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Salman Khan are some names that have been targeted.

Karan Johar’s name has been dragged in yet another controversy this time by late actor Inder Kumar’s wife Pallavi Kumar who claims that her late husband approached the Dharma chief for work. Recalling the incident which has been a witness of she said that Inder was made to wait outside Karan’s van once for two hours after which they were dismissed saying there’s no work for the actor and he should keep in touch with his assistant for future references. Pallavi also alleged that when he followed up, he was refused and was later blocked.

She also recalled that the same happened with Shah Rukh Khan when Inder had approached the superstar on the sets of Zero. SRK allegedly dismissed saying the late actor should follow up with his assistant only later get dismissed.

Inder’s wife also that people are dying and these big shots do not understand the effects. She demanded that the government take action against such people.

Pallavi’s account on Instagram is private but according to her post shared by Times Of India, it reads, "These days everyone is talking about.. Nepotism.... Just like Sushant Singh Rajput my husband late actor Inder Kumar achieved his fame on his own. He was at a peak in 90s. Before he passed away I still remember he went to 2 people big shots asking for work as help. Just for the record he was already doing small projects. But he wanted to do big movies just like he started. He went to Mr. Karan johar, I was there too. In front of me all happened. He made us wait outside his van for 2 hrs. Then his manager Garima comes and says karan is busy. But we waited & wen he came out, he says inder keep in touch with garima at the moment there is no work for you. And inder did that... for the next 15 days ... the fone was picked up saying there is no work at the moment... after that inder was blocked.  The same behaviour was given to Inder by none other than Mr. Shah Rukh Khan... He met inder and said he will call you in a week . At the moment there is no work.this all happened on the set of Zero. Later was even asked to keep in touch with his manger Pooja... she did the same wat garima did.... Can one imagine and believe dat there has not been any work available in these two production houses. Karan johar has said many times he works with stars... well my husband was a star ... still people remember him by his work. Why is it so difficult for these big shots to help talented people. What are they scared of ? Or we can just say they are bad human beings... pretending to be nice. Nepotism should stop... people are dying and these big shots are still not understanding the effect. Government should take strict action against such people."

Inder Kumar who a popular star in the 90’s, died of a cardiac arrest in 2017. He was known for films like Wanted, Masoom, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaye.
