In a series of tweets, last month Ranvir Shorey called out the credibility of award shows by putting forth a scenario. The actor mentioned how a star kid goes on to win an award in a very systematic and pre-decided format. He spoke about how a star kid is called on stage to host a show and the category for best actor is played out.

Soon, the audience finds out that the star kid has been nominated for a certain category. Then the presenters of the award arrive who happen to be the parents of the star kid. Thus the star kid wins the award, creating a picture-perfect family moment. Hence Ranvir covered this aspect about award shows through a series of tweets he had made. The actor thus called out the 'systematic function' of the award shows that primarily in some way cater to the star kids. Several actors and prominent personalities have raised their voices and questioned Bollywood several times on the credibility of awards shows and the Nepotism factor that exists in Bollywood.
