In the aftermath of Sushant Singh Rajput's tragic death by suicide, debates and conversations around 'nepotism' saw a rise in the Indian film industry. Celina Jaitly, who recently made a comeback with 'Season's Greeting' in a conversation with a leading daily said that she quit films because she was tired and 'exhausted' seeing the difficulties of an outsider to get roles.
A user on Twitter reacted and said that she could have used her 'father Arun Jaitley's name to get films'. To this, Celina wrote, "My fathers name was COLONEL VK JAITLY not late shree @arunjaitley. My father was an infantryman and a war hero who ultimately succumbed to degeneration of war time injuries." [sic]
