Kumar Sanu slams son Jaan; asks to drop his surname ...

In the latest episode of Bigg Boss 14, Salman Khan while reprimanding Rahul Vaidya on his ‘nepotism’ comment went on to mention a few names from the film industry. He gives his opinion on the statement made by Rahul saying that if someone’s parents have done something for the child, would that be called ‘nepotism’? Salman gives an example of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, Sunny Deol, Rishi Kapoor who were launched in the industry by their father’s, but are still relevant because the audience likes them and wants to see them. He puts up a question saying ‘kya inne galat kia? (Were they wrong in launching their own kids)
​
Salman took names of his fellow actors Shah Rukh Khan and mentioned that he came from Delhi and next he mentioned Akshay Kumar as ‘Akki’, who had no connections in the industry when they entered. Following this he says, “mehnat ke dum par ye sab 20-30 saal tike hue hai they are here for such a long time because of their hard work."
The host also mentions Jackie Shroff's name and shares that he was spotted by the late Dev Anand. He went ahead and said, “jisme wo baat hai wo chalega, aur jisme baat nahi hai wo apni khud ki tijori ghar ki tijori maata-pita ki tijori khaali karke jayega (one who possesses talent will sustain in the industry, and one who doesn’t will not.)"
Salman Khan narrated his own story and told that he himself asked his father that so many producers and directors come to him, why doesn’t he recommend him to someone. To which his father had replied saying that if they would have found some potential in you, then they would have said it straight away to offer you a film. Why would he himself go and ask them to give Salman a break?
He added that that was the point of time when he decided to work hard for himself. So that he would get credits for his own work. He explained saying that it is all about the audience, it is in their hands to either accept or reject an artist.
Furthermore, Salman added up to his explanation about ‘nepotism’ with a simple example of a grocer, who lets his son handle his shop and not asks anybody else to do it for him.
The contestant later praised Salman for his explanation. Jaan Kumar Sanu on whom the ‘nepotism’ comment was made thanked him and he also got emotional when Salman stated that he is here because of his mother.

The news of Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely death has left everyone in shock. Post his demise, the nepotism debate came into the limelight on social media. Amid the debate, singer Sonu Nigam made some shocking allegations in a video. He talked about growing nepotism in the music industry. Captioning the video, "You might soon hear about suicides in the music industry," the singer went on to claim that "it's very difficult for the new kids, very difficult... I speak to every one of them. They are troubled that the producer wants to work with them, the director wants to work, even the music composer wants to work with them but the music company will say: 'This is not our artiste'." He also alleged that the music industry is controlled by two mafias, without naming anyone.
During a conversation with a leading news channel, several talents from the music industry - number of singers, composers and lyricists - took the nepotism debate head-on and shared their opinion on the same.
While they were quizzed about their point of view, all six of the talents on the panel - Amaal Malik, Sachet Tandon, Jubin Nautiyal, Rochak Kohli, Manoj Muntashir and Rashmi Virag - challenged Sonu's views and shared a common notion - that while nepotism might be prevalent in the film industry, the music industry is purely based on talent, merit and luck. Sonu has alleged that several times, singers are called in to sing a song, only to be told that their version won't be used in the film.
Music director Rochak Kohli addressed the accusation and reasoned, "When I approach a singer for a song, I always tell them that I want to try you for this song. And we will try our best to keep your voice in the song because things change. It's not just for new singers. I also tell the same to people like Arijit (Singh), or Jubin (Nautiyal) and Sachet (Tandon). Everyone understands. Singers come up to me and tell me they want to sing maximum scratches. The singer also gets his taiyaari and his voice also reaches out to a lot of people. It's indeed a very progressive process." 'Kabir Singh' fame Sachet added, "I haven't faced it yet. I sang for another composer and it has turned out that way only. At some point in time, it happens. Rochak bhai is right. You tend to check a singer's voice to see if it goes with the song. Being a composer, you want to do justice to your composition and it's all for the film. So, it's okay."
Singer Jubin Nautiyal strongly questioned Sonu's claims of prevalent favouritism and nepotism existing in the music industry and asserted, "We all have to understand one thing, there was a time when there was no Internet. But today, it's more content-driven. Nobody knows but now, even a small song from anywhere can turn out to be a huge hit. Whatever sounds best to the ear, to the whole team of people who are producing the song, is what works eventually." He further added, "You can have favourites but sometimes, when a singer or a composer comes up with a great song, you acknowledge it. You can't deny that, right? Nepotism can be one of the factors that affected the industry in the past, but today, what matters is good content, talented artists and good sound. That's what every music label, director or producer is looking for."
Talking about nepotism, Amaal Malik, who happens to be from a family of musicians, shared how it's equally difficult for an industry kid to get due recognition. He discussed how being Daboo Malik's son has got him no extra favours from anyone within the industry. "First of all, with due respect to my dad, he wasn't an ace composer. He never got the success that my uncle did. So it wasn't a phone call that went and someone said, 'Please listen to my son, he is a composer'. He's obviously done his share of songs and he found his little bit of success. When Armaan sang his first song for Vishal Dadlani, he didn't know that they were making Daboo Malik's son sing. He went inside the studio when he was 10-11, sang a scratch and it went on to be part of Bhoothnath. He didn't get the opportunity because he was so and so's kid."
Sharing his view Amaal added, "A lot of people have that notion that it must have been easier for me because I had the Malik tag. But I don't feel it's right. With due respect to someone like Ankit Tiwari who leaves everything at home to come and make it big here without any backing, I agree I have an advantage. I know how things work. I have seen the failures of my family members so I know how it would work and that's the only difference. I have been doing it since the age of 19 but I got my first film at 24. Even for that film, my younger brother and my mom went on a film set to meet Salman Khan. We waited for 7 hours until he could hear a CD of our work. We wanted someone to launch our music and maybe just say something if he liked it. Because the music was good, he gave us an opportunity. Speaking about the tough times, Amaal added,"I miserably failed in that film and that song didn't work despite being on such a huge scale. For one year, I had no work. I don't think anyone repeated me just like other newcomers. So it's been a 50-50 situation. It's not happened overnight for me and my brother as well. Maybe, it's even a bit tougher for people who have a name."
Lyricist Manoj Muntashir also sided with Amaal and explained why the systems and structures of the music and film industry are extremely different. "The music industry is not just about Bollywood, it's beyond that. So nepotism or dynasticism exists in Bollywood and we have had several debates about that. But in the music industry, there's nothing called nepotism or dynasticism. Take singers of '90s then because if nepotism was prevalent, then only the kids of the popular singers from that generation would have ruled now, whether it's Kumar Sanu, Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik. Then how did we have Rochak, Jubin, Sachet or even Tanishk Bagchi? They are all outsiders. If nepotism chalta, then they would not be here."
Voicing his point he stated, "We, as a bunch of people, are clear testimony to the fact that nepotism doesn't exist in the music industry. In fact, we are doing a huge disservice to people and new talents by propagating fear because now, they will feel our industry is filled with tyrants and they will destroy you. Let's get it clear: there's no dictatorship, no tyranny, no anarchy, no fascism in the music industry. There's no democracy either. Democratic values don't count for great business after all."
Another popular lyricist Rashmi Virag addressed a major element that he believes that along with talent and hard work, what works is the 'luck' factor. Elaborating on that, he explained, "Over here, hard work and talent are pre-requisites. But there's something which is equally important: luck. It plays a major role." Sonu, in his video, also shared how people are not paid their due. Countering that Virag added, "There's a lot of confusion regarding lyric writer and writer in the industry. Let me clarify: any good writelyric writer is making as much money as a singer is making today. Gone are those days when there were situations like these. It's a very close-knit team altogether. We are all good friends, we all work together and it's a fairly transparent set-up. Either of us does any setting. We serve the cause of a great song. The ultimate goal happens to be humara gaana kaisa banega. I have been told to change the lyric writer sometimes when we felt it didn't suit the song. I have personally recommended sometimes saying this melody requires this person, so there's a lot of transparency. There's no need for PR building among the core team."
