MUMBAI: Sushant's death has shed a new light on Bollywood's unfair treatment of outsiders and partiality towards star kids and insiders. His fans have been voicing their anger online, demanding a boycott of star kids' and their supporters' films. After his tragic demise, condolences and tributes for the actor started coming in order which was also followed by Twitterverse's rage who then slammed many star kids and Bollywood industry’s big people. They are constantly asking questions regarding nepotism, favouritism and hypocrisy that has been existing in the industry for a really long time. As this has picked a momentum on social media, some Bollywood celebs are shedding some light on the same while some are sharing their views based on their experiences.

Having said that, Sushant's Sonchiriya co-star Manoj Bajpayee spoke about the questions of partiality being raised against Bollywood while having a conversation with ZoomTV. He was quoted saying, "If the anger is directed towards you, I have to ask the question, right?! When I say that people are right when they are making my film a hit, when the same people are asking me questions, it becomes very important for us to answer those questions. This is (something) what the government also does." 

After Sushant's death, he shared a heartfelt note which read, "Falling short of words to describe the shock and grief I am in right now!! Just one question why Sushant?? My heart goes out to his family who lost their young one!! Will wait to cook Bihari mutton for you my friend!! Rest in peace!! Yours dadda!" He backed this note with a caption, "Don’t know what to add to this!! No no how can this be true??"

On nepotism, he told WION, "Let me start with this, the world is not fair. I have been saying this since 20 years that as an industry we celebrate mediocrity. Forget about industry, as a nation we celebrate mediocrity. Something is lacking somewhere -- in our thought process, our value system. When we see talent, we immediately want to ignore or push it away. This is the value system of ours which is so deplorable."

Meanwhile, not so long ago, Manoj Bajpayee revealed that he once had suicidal thoughts when he three times faced rejection from National School Of Drama while speaking to Humans of Bombay.
