Sushant Singh Rajput's demise stirred the nation and sparked several debates on topics like nepotism, favouritism etc. Just a few days ahead of Sushant's first death anniversary, actor Vivek Oberoi has called out the film industry for its inability to take criticism and pointed out several other flaws. He said, "We have our good side, but we refuse to acknowledge our bad side. For any individual, industry, or fraternity to flourish, one needs to know ke hum mein kitni khamiyan hain, our mistakes and the wrongs of the industry.”

Oberoi points out, and adds, “But we have a little bit of ostrich syndrome. Because we don’t acknowledge that hamari industry mein kuch gadbad hai.”

Sharing the example of Sushant's demise, Vivek further extrapolated his point and said, "Last year, there was a major tragedy in our industry. Then also nobody wanted to really and truly acknowledge that there is something systematically wrong (in the industry), and just wanted to write it off ke ek incident hogaya.” He further added that actors and filmmakers should learn to take criticism just like they accept love and admiration.
