Mumbai: The untimely demise of young actor Sushant Singh Rajput has triggered the age-old nepotism debate on social media. Star kids like Alia Bhatt has been in the eye of the storm. Meanwhile, the actor has shared a note about 'truths and lies' after Kangana Ranaut targeted her for reaping benefits of nepotism in Bollywood.
She penned on her Instagram stories, "The truth is the truth, even if no one believes it. A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it."
Ever since Sushant died by suicide June 14 and debate around the existence of nepotism in the industry sparked, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, his daughters Pooja Bhatt and Alia, among several others, have been the target of severe criticism online.

Earlier, Kangana had attacked Alia over her video from Koffee With Karan in which when show host Karan Johar asked the Raazi actress who would she choose among Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Sushant Singh Rajput for killing, hooking up or marrying, Alia had said that she would kill Sushant.
Targeting Alia over the KWK segment and their frivolity, Kangana said (via), "When Alia is saying he should be killed, he (Sushant) must be thinking, 'nobody said anything?'. People saw that episode and it had huge TRPs. Sushant never made it to the list of (good) actors. The only time he made it to a list was when one person had to be killed. If (Karan) puts Ranveer Singh or Ranbir Kapoor or Varun, he can't kill any of them because all of them are his chamchas. So he will put Sushant Singh Rajput because he doesn't know chamchagiri."
On the work front, Alia will be seen in Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi and SS Rajamouli's RRR. Besides, she has also bagged a role in Karan Johar's period drama Takht.
