Even I have been a victim of nepotism: Saif Ali Khan

Bollywood superstar Saif Ali Khan has once again chimed in on the conversation around the dark side of Bollywood that stemmed from the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. This time around, the Sacred Games actor talked about nepotism in particular, pointing out that the matter is far more complicated as it is portrayed to be. In a recent interview with the Indian Express, Saif revealed that he himself has also been a target of nepotism.

“I have no idea what Kangana was saying on Koffee with Karan because I don’t think like that. As far as Karan is concerned, he has made himself a large symbol and it seems like he’s attracting a lot of flak for it. The truth is always complicated. There’s much more to it, but people aren’t interested in that," Saif said.

"I hope the tide is over and better things shine through. There is inequality in India that needs to be explored. Nepotism, favoritism and camps are different subjects. Even I have been a victim of nepotism, but nobody speaks of that. I’m happy to see more people from film institutes come to the forefront,” the actor added.

Speaking about Sushant, Saif had nothing but praise for the late actor. “He was a talented actor and a good-looking guy. I thought he had a bright future. He was polite to me and appreciated my guest appearance in the film. He wanted to talk about many topics like astronomy and philosophy. I got the feeling he was brighter than I was.”
