Now, social media is abuzz with debates that are pegging the 'outsiders' in Bollywood against the artists who have some filmy background or connection, with even celebrities sharing instances of how the Hindi film industry is 'not a family' and its top tier workers cold to people who are not insiders.
Hashtags like 'Bollywood Blocked Sushant', 'Boycott Karan Johar Movie Gang' and many star kids like Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha and Sonam Kapoor started trending on Twitter in the wake of Sushant's demise.
Now, actress Raveena Tandon spoke up in the matter and expressed her opinion in the 'outsiders and insiders' conversation that has been raging on social media. Recalling her personal experience in the film industry, the actress wrote on Twitter that 'mean girl gang' and 'camps' do exist in Bollywood and that she herself has been removed from films by actors, their girlfriends and even fallen prey to fake media reports that were circulated to malign her image.
She wrote, "“Mean girl” gang of the industry. Camps do exist. Made fun of, bn removed from films by Heroes, their girlfriends, Journo chamchas & their career destroying fake media stories. Sometimes careers are destroyed. U struggle to keep afloat. fight back. Some survive Some Dont. #oldwoundsrevisited (sic)."

In another tweet, Raveena wrote, "When you speak the truth, you are branded a liar, Mad, psychotic. Chamcha journos write pages & pages destroying all the hard work that you might have done. Even though born in the industry, grateful for all it has given me, but dirty politics played by some can leave a sour taste (sic)."
