"Nepotism in Bollywood", has been the talk of the town since many days! The topic was brought to light by controversy queen Kangana Ranaut who had accused acclaimed filmmaker Karan Johar of "nepotism".
Recently, at the trailer launch of his upcoming film, 'Raabta', Sushant Singh Rajput, who is an outsider in the industry, was asked to comment on the same.
To this SSR said that he does not have a problem with nepotism in Bollywood and that it can co-exist with constant encouragement of talent from outside the industry.
"I think nepotism can co-exist with the idea of encouraging new talent from outside of the film industry. I, being an outsider, got the opportunity and luxury of choices to choose the film that I wanted to do. So I have no complaints.
"But having said that, if new talents won't get a chance, and only the practice of nepotism continues, then the industry will collapse in some time."
Sushant started his acting career with television, and gained popularity with the show "Pavitra Rishta". He later made his Bollywood debut with "Kai Po Che" in 2013.
His next "Raabta", opposite actress Kriti Sanon, will release on June 9.
