Sushant Singh Rajput’s unfortunate death has not only brought back the insider vs outsider debate in Bollywood but also other unfair practices of the film industry.
Actor Abhay Deol took to Instagram on Friday to call out Bollywood award shows.Explaining how ‘shamelessly’ the award function works, the actor gave an example of his own film ‘Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara’ which was directed by Zoya Akhtar and featured Hrithik Roshan and Farhan Akhtar along with Deol.
The actor spoke about how he along with co-actor Farhan Akhtar got “demoted” at several award functions for their work in the hit film ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’.
“`Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara`, released in 2011. Need to chant this title to myself everyday nowadays! Also a great watch when anxious or stressed.
“I would like to mention that almost all the award functions demoted me and Farhan from main leads, and nominated us as `supporting actors`. Hrithik and Katrina were nominated as `actors in a leading role`. So by the industry`s own logic, this was a film about a man and a woman falling in love, with the man supported by his friends for whatever decisions he takes,” Deol wrote.
