Nepotism is currently of the top-notch debacles in the country. It resuscitates itself with the development of the entertainment world. However, it would be unfair to believe that it is limited to only the rampant entertainment industry. It comes with legislative subdivisions also and others.
In the entertainment world, it tends to be seen in the degree of yield, circulation, fanfare and so on. That’s what it’s inconvenience is, it takes out the mastery and demanding work from the work culture. It annihilates impetuses for innovativeness. It has been viewed as a shelter for the star children and a curse for the striving craftsmen.
But the debate came on rising after the demise of the 34-year-old actor, Sushant Singh Rajput. However, sadly, the skirmish only sprawled over the Bollywood industry, resulting in ‘Boycott Bollywood’ but it’s been rampantly present in other sects and diversion of ‘woods’ in the Indian cinema.
That’s that, this piece down beneath endeavours to concentrate on how far the south entertainment world has camouflaged nepotism beyond its superstardom, and how no one really talks about it. Well, is it because of ‘lack of opinions’, or too many people asking for similar ‘reactions’ just to be relevant for time’s sake; that is the ‘question’.
