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.
This actually unfolded on a popular Bollywood awards show:

A star kid is co-hosting the show. They announce the next category - Best Actor. The nominees are played out, and the star kid is one of the nominees. Surprise-surprise!
To present the award, the hosts invite two esteemed film personalities, who happen to be the star kid’s parents. What a sweet coincidence! The presenters open the envelope and announce the winner to be - drumroll please! - the star kid, of course! What a Kodak family moment!

The star kid walks from the host’s dias to accept the award and makes a short thank you speech and heads back to hosting the rest of the show like business as usual.
