Ever since Sushant Singh Rajput ended his life, there’s a strong wave against nepotism making rounds on the internet. His untimely death has triggered so many unanswered questions around the alleged practice and power play in Bollywood and a lot of celebrities are opening up with their experiences. The latest is Saif Ali Khan, who has said that he is also a victim of nepotism.

In an interview, Saif Ali Khan opened up on nepotism and dropped the “N” word (as in nepotism). The actor, being son of veteran actress Sharmila Tagore and cricketing great Tiger Pataudi, steered into somewhat puzzling waters by presenting himself as a “victim of nepotism.”

“There is inequality in India that needs to be explored. Nepotism, favouritism 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,” said Saif in a conversation with The New Indian Express.
