Actor Alia Bhatt is one of an entire cliche of actors facing major backlash amid the nepotism debate for a month now. While she has chosen to maintain silence on the subject, she recently posted a motivational post on Instagram that many interpret as her reaction to the controversy.

Sharing a post on her Instagram Stories, she wrote, “Silence says a lot more than you think.” Bhatt and her entire family have been receiving flak since June 14, when actor Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide. Fans of the actor have been targeting filmmakers, star kids, and powerful Bollywood camps. While Alia has kept mum on the issue, her sister Pooja Bhatt, and mother Soni Razdan have been sharing their two cents' worth on comments on social media.

Pooja had recently targeted actor Kangana Ranaut, saying it was funny how her family production house, which launched one of the famous outsiders, is now being dragged into the debate. “Have been asked to comment on the hot topic Nepotism that people are raging about. As someone who hails from a ‘family’ that has launched more new talent - actors, musicians and technicians than the entire film industry combined, I can only laugh. Facts don’t find takers. Fiction does,” she wrote.
