The statement shown above comes after the untimely death of Sushant Singh Rajput which triggered a nationwide conversation surrounding the treatment of outsiders and nepotism in Bollywood. While on one hand, star kids are being accused and questioned on the internet, on the other hand, various known personalities from the Hindi film fraternity like Salman Khan and Karan Johar have been accused of lobbying. After Sushant's death, Abhinav Kashyap, the director of Dabangg starring Salman, came forward and made a shocking post on Twitter.

The director shared through his tweets that Khan and his family are responsible for destroying his career by using their contacts. Soon after the post went viral on the internet, a number of netizens started criticising the actor for using his powers to manipulate people and their careers.

Apart from Kashyap's claims, various reports suggested that Salman's SKF production house boycotted Sushant along with several other production houses, thus pushing the actor into depression. There have been multiple reactions about the same on the internet with netizens enraged upon certain producers and actors over the demise of Sushant, but none of the claims has been officially proven yet.
