Simi Gerawal lauded Kangana Ranaut for being braver and bolder against nepotism in Bollywood

Veteran actor Simi Garewal has spoken on the end of Sushant Singh Rajput and said that the status quo in the film industry must change. Simi Garewal, the actor of the yesteryears and a celebrated TV host, said that Sushant Singh Rajput’s death must awaken the film industry like George Floyd’s death shook America and led to the current Black Lives Matter uprising.

“I’m distraught at what Sushant Singh Rajput endured ... and also what many 'outsiders' go through in Bollywood. It must change! When George Floyd was killed in America it set forth an awakening. In the same way, Sushant Singh Rajput's death may be the harbinger of awakening in Bollywood,” the actress wrote.

Simi Garewal also hinted at a powerful person who had viciously tried to destroy her career but she did not name that powerful person.



“I stayed silent. Because I am not so brave,” she said, referring to Kangana Ranaut, who has named Bollywood biggies who have blacklisted, banned, and declared outcast actors for not conforming to their cliques.

“I applaud Kangana Ranaut who is braver & bolder than I am,” Simi said.

The outspoken Kangana Ranaut has not minced words since Sushant Singh Rajput’s tragic end because like him, she too has been an outsider struggling to make a mark. Like him, she too has been exploited and then thrown out of the big league. And like him, she too did reach the top of her game.

Simi Garewal is in awe of Kangana Ranaut for calling a spade a spade, regardless of its consequences. Kangana Ranaut has given a series of superhit women-centric films including Queen, Manikarnika and Panga.
