2020 has not been an easy year for any one of us. Talking about the Bollywood industry, there have been a series of incidents which has affected the entire fraternity.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sonu Sood said that Bollywood is still divided by barriers. The chains that can bind the industry together are ‘missing’, the actor said when asked about the ‘constant’ media trial that the film industry was put through this year.
Sonu Sood continued, “Of course I was bothered, but what really upset me was seeing some of our own people speak against the industry. This is that industry for which he leaves our homes and families. It is an industry that fulfils dreams. And now, to see people point fingers at it, you can imagine how it must have affected us.”
He said that the industry should learn from this experience. “We all like to think we’re one big family, but the chains that can bind us are missing. People align themselves with others; no one reaches out to praise you or to offer advice. Everyone is constrained. They say they are a part of Bollywood, but they’ve created barriers around themselves,” he said.
Sonu Sood concluded, “We should all learn from this. In this industry, people value success, but no one offers support when you fail.”
Earlier this year, Kangana Ranaut was criticised by members of the film industry for suggesting that it is a hotbed of vice. She said that 99% of the industry had been exposed to drugs, a claim that had been slammed by many such as Jaya Bachchan, Raveena Tandon, Hansal Mehta and others.
Previously, Sonu Sood and Kangana Ranaut had an altercation when he quit the film Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi after the original director was removed from the project and Kangana took over. In an interview, she suggested that Sonu wasn’t comfortable being directed by a woman, but original filmmaker Krish said that Sonu was upset about his role being rewritten drastically.
