Mumbai/IBNS: It seems that the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput has opened up a pandora's box and now it was actress Raveena Tandon's turn to make some startling revelations when she alleged that 'dirty politics' and 'mean girl' gangs do exist in the Bollywood industry.

Ever since the death of the actor made headlines, some insiders have accused Bollywood of operating in camps and cliques based on privilege and nepotism, triggering a raging debate on social media for the past two days.

"'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 backSome survive Some Dont.#oldwoundsrevisited," Tandon tweeted.

She said: "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."

Raveena revealed how she had to face certain troubles despite being 'born in the industry'.

"It can happen to someone born within,an 'insider' as I can hear insider/outsider words,some anchors blaring away.But you fight back.The more they tried to bury me,the harder I fought back. Dirty politics happen everywhere. But sometimes one roots for good to win,and Evil to lose," she said.

Raveena said the industry has both good and 'dirty' people.

"I love my industry,but yes,the pressures are high,there are good people and people who play dirty, there are all kinds,but that’s what makes the http://world.One has to pick up the pieces,walk again and again,with the head held high.Goodnight world.I pray for a better tmrw," she said.

Floodgate Opens:

The suicide of Sushant has opened up a floodgate of emotions where people are taking it on social media especially Twitter to blame the favouritism and nepotism of Bollywood responsible for the actor's death.

 While on one hand, celebrities have been expressing shock and remembering the promising talent that Suhsant was, some have lashed out at Bollywood's powerful people including filmmaker Karan Johar, actress Alia Bhatt and lastly superstar Salman Khan and his family over nepotism issue.

Karan and Alia faced the ire of netizens for allegedly encouraging nepotism in the film industry and Salman was slammed for ruining careers of many including actor Vivek Oberoi.

Joining the social media users, actress Kangana Ranaut, who is known for taking on the Bollywood's "influentials", said she had failed to understand how some are saying that people with weak mind commit suicide by getting depressed.

She had even gone to the extent of calling such acts as intentional and raised a question if death Sushant can be termed 'suicide or a planned murder.'

 The latest to join the bandwagon was filmmaker Abhinav Singh Kashyap, who slammed Salman Khan and his family for allegedly sabotaging his own films besides ruining him mentally.

Treading on a different path, filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, however, felt it was important to bring down the system instead of calling out a few names.
