Nepotism is an unfortunate plague in Bollywood – with star kids skipping the thorny ladder to fame to settle at the supple top, relishing in all the glory with India’s most influential directors cozying them up in their films. While we’ve at most come to accept that this epidemic isn’t dying out anytime soon, 18-year-old Suhana Khan aka Shah Rukh Khan’s adolescent daughter just made the cover of Vogue – and well, no one really gets why.
She’s got ZERO experience in the acting field, she’s still in college and while close friends within Bollywood have been celebrating such an achievement, the rest of the world is pretty (and rightly) pissed.
While Shah Rukh Khan was naturally very proud of this revealing moment, the editorial spread has received tremendous backlash
Holding her in my arms again thanks to Vogue. ‘What imperfect carriers of love we are…” except when it comes to our children. So sending u all my love & a big hug. Hello Suhana Khan! pic.twitter.com/RrkhJ8kfz5

People from both India and Pakistan have expressed anger and dismay over such blatant displays of nepotism

Obviously daughter of King Khan will trend in India— Atif Ansari (@atifsalon8808) August 1, 2018
With many condemning star kids in Bollywood all together
#SuhanaKhan was this adorable kid who was doing theaters and showed talent. but now she is another wannabe using her daddy's position to get covers , sorry but I hate her as much as I hate Alia Bhatt or Janhvi Kapoor. Suhana is not pretty or cute, but SRK will force her on us.

#suhanakhan @VOGUEIndia Hello Vogue,
May I know what is the process to be on cover of your magazine?I'm sure, for strugglers, you must have 100's of elimination rounds …
There is a talent out there, waiting for their chance..if it is for #SuhanaKhan then why not 4others ?

Why does a Prestigious Magazine like @VOGUEIndia hv #Suhanakhan on d Cover. Is she a Celebrity. NO. She is just d daughter of a Superstar. Will an ordinary girl get this chance who perhaps cod b more talented than her. Never. Nepotistic @VOGUEIndia SHAME 👎👎
