Singer Sona Mohapatra weighed in on the insider-outsider debate in Bollywood that has reignited after the sudden demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The “Ambarsariya” singer in a tweet said that the actors get ‘disproportionate returns’ from the success of a film, while ‘actual creators of content like writers’ are not rewarded.
A system that does not reward actual creators of content like writers but keeps making ‘stars’ out of one lot-‘heros-heroines’is likely to reap nothing glorious in the long run.Just more mediocrity.Nepotism flourishes cus audiences allow it to.The toxic ‘Star System’ is the same. https://t.co/4X9FQxFYt7

On Wednesday, Sona took to twitter to express her views on the ongoing debate on nepotism. The singer in a tweet wrote, “Insider ho ya outsider.When it comes to this ‘category’, mostly it’s ‘I Me Myself’. Narcissistic, self-absorbed & zero concern for the 100 others who actually make a good film happen which gives only this ‘category’ disproportionate returns. The rest can keep slogging. Who cares.”
