Saif Ali Khan calls out Bollywood for their ''ultimate hypocrisy''

In an interview with a leading daily, Saif Ali Khan said that it is a cutthroat line of work and nobody cares for anybody.

Saif said that there are many people who have made comments very quickly and expressed that people are somewhere gaining mileage from Sushant Singh Rajput's tragedy, be it through showing compassion or interest or taking a political stance. He added there are so many people who are talking rubbish in the non-stop barrage on social media. The actor thinks that all of it is actually embarrassing. 

Saif Ali Khan further said that out of respect for Sushant, a day of silence or introspection would be more apt than the outpouring of love. He said that the outpouring was coming from people who obviously did not care about him. He further added that these are the people who famously don't care about anyone. 

He further said that people live in an age where someone writes ten lines on Twitter for a person and then walks right past them on the street. He said that these people don't even touch you or shake your hands. The actor added that people get wished for their birthday but nobody actually calls them and there is no contact.

Actor Kangana Ranaut also called out Bollywood on their hypocrisy. She said that actors don't get appreciation where it is due whereas star kids get acknowledged not only through words but through awards as well. Her team wrote in the caption, "PSA
It is important to give talent their due. And if celebrities are struggling with personal and mental health issues, the media should try and emphasize with them, rather than making it difficult for them!". [sic]
