Jiah Khan's suicide exposes the dark side of showbiz
Updated On: 06 June, 2013 09:37 AM IST | | Neeta Shah
Jiah Khan's suicide once again brings to fore the not-so-glamorous side of Bollywood, that which is full of drugs, alcohol, failed relationships and the frustration of not having made it big.
When a film producer asks, “What are you doing tonight? Can we have dinner?”, please remember there are no free lunches, or make that dinner instead! Are good looks and talent enough to make it in the big bad world of Bollywood or does one need something more? The glamorous Bollywood also has a dull side to it. On a daily basis hundreds of aspirants come to Bollywood with starry dreams of making it big…each one better looking and more talented than the other…ready to do anything and everything that it takes to reach the top.
There are only 10 top production houses and studios and being from a non- filmy background without a god father, the success rate is merely 0.05 %. So how does one break through this clutter? It’s worst for those who live all by themselves on limited resources. They have to additionally struggle to get their next meal or pay their rent apart from the usual Bollywood run.
