Sushant Singh Rajput's death has not only caused an uproar in the film industry regarding mental health but also sparked talks about nepotism. After filmmaker Abhinav Singh blamed Salman Khan and his family for destroying his career as a director another actor had made a similar claim. Sahil Khan made his Bollywood industry with hit comedy films like Excuse Me and Style. However, Khan quickly lost his fame and fortune.
Khan is now a social media star and influencer. In the aftermath of Sushant Singh Rajput's death, Sahil Khan has shared his own experience of negative treatment in Bollywood. Sahil shared a throwback magazine cover where he is seen on the same page as Salman and Shah Rukh Khan. Sahil Khan captioned his post writing, "Bahut kam logon ke saath aise hota hai ki apni first film (Style) ke baad India ke sabse top film magazine ke cover par, do India ke sabse bade superstars ke saath ho. Magar unmein seek superstar ko bahut bura laga. Jabki main toh naya tha, unka fan tha, kamzor tha. Fir bhi woh mujhe kai baar side role ke liye bulate rahe. TV show ke liye bhi bulate rahe. Aur fir kai films se mujhe nikalwa diya. Naam bade par darshan chote. Guess who? I don't give a f*** today for him kyunki Sushant Singh Rajput ne unka saccha asli chechra dikha diya. Duniya ke woh log new talents se kitna darte hain. 20 saal mein John Abraham se alawa koi nahi aaya industry mein bada star coz koi aane nahi deta. Only star son ko hi kaam milta hai. Think about it."
Sahil also uploaded a video of himself where he shared some clips from his early days in Bollywood. He simply captioned it writing, "This Is Why I Left Bollywood."
