MUMBAI: With the sudden demise of Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput on June 14, the debate on nepotism and favouritism in the film industry has reignited once again. Many are claiming on social media that the actor was not given his due in Bollywood since he didn't come from a filmi background.

Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt are being particularly slammed by a section of furious Twitter users for their sudden concern about Sushant on their condolence messages when they once mocked the late actor on Koffee With Karan. Not just the 'elite club of Bollywood', Sushant had faced criticism from several others in the industry as well. 

A few of Sushant's fans pointed out how actor and filmmaker Rajat Kapoor had taken a dig at the late actor's looks in his movie MS Dhoni-The Untold Story overlooking his stupendous performance in the flick. 

The Kapoor and Sons actor had written on Twitter, "Dhoni looks so much better than the actor who plays him..#fact" 

However, Sushant gave a brilliant response. "I Slogged a bit extra on my skills to compensate. If you get interested in that,pls do watch the film sir:) #fact." 

Even before Sushant could respond, his angry fans bashed Rajat asking him to mind his business. The filmmaker thankfully didn't give in to the virtual bashing and instead wrote back to Sushant. "@itsSSR :))) I believe your performance is fab in the film.. and maan, your fan following is huge!! Best wishes, Sushant." 

The actor replied to Rajat, "They are not my fans sir , I don't have many. They just like good films:) Ps.- You were really good in 'Kapoor &sons'."
