The past couple of months have served as a roller-coaster of a ride for those in Bollywood, and understandably so.
The industry has gone through, and is still going through, a number of serious allegations made against the very manner in which it is structured.
Starting from actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely demise, subjects like nepotism, sexual abuse, bullying, groupism, corruption, and drug-abuse – have haunted those in showbiz, as questions continue to get raised by both industry insiders, politicians and fans.
Now amidst the ongoing drug-related angle being investigated in regards to Sushant’s death and his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty’s arrest, BJP leader Roopa Ganguly has now asserted some serious concerns about the industry.

Here is what Ms. Ganguly said in a recent statement:
‘Mumbai film industry kills people, makes them drug addicts, and keeps on insulting women, but nobody is doing anything. Mumbai Police remains silent. It does not take action’.
She also lashed out at those, who are silent over the fresh ‘me too’ allegations being made against director Anurag Kashyap, by aspiring actress Payal Ghosh.
Here’s what she said:
‘Why Bollywood is silent over the sexual harassment charges leveled by Payal Ghosh against Anurag Kashyap? Why is Mumbai Police not taking any action against Anurag Kashyap?’
Here’s the former actress and MP speaking more on the subject:
Whatever comes out of the Sushant Singh Rajput case, it is safe to assume that Bollywood, as we know it, might be heading for a drastic change by the end of this pandemic.
