During an interaction on ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, he spoke about Bollywood ‘gangs and lobbies’. Referring to Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide, he explained how people in the industry gang up on one person and elbow them out by messing with their careers. Quoted by Bollywood Shaadis, the 51-year-old actor said, “And then this thing happened with Sushant a couple of years later, and then I felt like I had to speak out. But all this is, you ask anybody from the film industry, anybody, most of them will say it off record, I can say it on record, I have no problem. This fully happens, you know, ganging up against someone, elbowing them out, standing on somebody's toes, scuttling somebody's career. This happens. This is a fact.” ALSO READ: ‘Aapke Soch Aur Ankhe Dono Hi Galat Hain’: Armaan Malik SLAMS Netizens As Video Of Ranvir Shorey Kissing Kritika Malik’s Cheeks On Bigg Boss OTT 3 Finale Goes Viral
