Sushant Singh Rajput's case is yet again knocking on the doors of media and asking questions from the investigative agencies. As Sushant's case is echoing once again then the issues which it brought with itself have also started making some noise.
Bollywood veteran actor Mohnish Bahl is now the latest celebrity who has to talk about nepotism as her daughter Pranutan debuted in Bollywood with a movie produced by his old friend Salman Khan. Pranutan started her Bollywood career with Notebook, produced by Salman Khan.
Pranutan's debut hyped theories that her father's Mohnish Bahl's friendship with Salman Khan paved a way for her into the Bollywood industry.
Going by the reports of Hindustan Times, Mohnish Bahl talked on nepotism debate, and theories of his friendship with Salman Khan paved a way for her daughter.
Mohnish said, "She has got everything on her own. Salman wasn’t even aware that auditions were going on. In fact, he called me when it was final and asked ‘Mohni, are you sure you are good with it? I thought she would be a lawyer or something."
Mohnish also talked about nepotism and how this debate has affected the star kids. He said, "Nepotism has unfortunately been extended to star kids. A more appropriate usage would be that star kids are more privileged. But at the same time, Pranutan is still struggling. She managed her second film Helmet which is yet to get a theatrical release, and with the Covid 19 pandemic, even that seems to be in a doubtful situation."

"The whole nepotism debate, it has been pushed to an extent, (where we might get asked) ‘why would you give your children your wealth when you pass away?’ Am I supposed to give whatever I have earned throughout life to someone who will be able to manage it better, or my preferences? If as a producer, if I like to invest in my friend’s kid, that’s my call. I am not holding a government position, where I am selecting the best candidate for say, commissioner of some corporate body, then I would give preference to somebody, that would be nepotism," added Mohnish.
