Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide on June 14. The actor's death re-started the nepotism and favouritism debate in Bollywood. Many celebrities took to social media to talk about nepotism in the Hindi film industry. Kangana Ranaut released a video to blame "Bollywood Mafia" for the Kai Po Che actor's death. She claimed that people like Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra bullied Sushant to death.
