Saif Ali Khan Talks About Karan Johar Being Targeted For Nepotism: He Has Made Himself A Large Symbol, Attracting Flak For It

Sushant Singh Rajput’s sudden demise has brought about a storm of controversies on social media. People have been questioning the practises of Bollywood. Many have pointed fingers at Karan Johar, Sonam Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and they have been collectively targeted for practicing nepotism.

Some of these actors have also lost out on a lot of followers on social media while others preferred to chuck it completely in order to eschew negativity from their lives.

Saif Ali Khan recently opened up about the entire nepotism fiasco in an interview with NewIndianExpress.com.

Saif comes from a very prestigious background. He is the son of actress Sharmila Tagore and late cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. He opened up about Kangana Ranaut’s remarks on Koffee With Karan. Saif too was part of the same episode.

The actor has been quoted as saying, “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.”

He further stated that he is always elated to see new talent being a part of the industry, “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."

He further also spoke about how Sushant was, as a human being because he worked with the late actor for the film Dil Bechara. He has been quoted by The New Indian Express as saying, “He was a talented actor and a good-looking guy. I thought he had a bright future. He was polite to me and appreciated my guest appearance in the film. He wanted to talk about many topics like astronomy and philosophy. I got the feeling he was brighter than I was.”
