Nothing is personal or private!
How can a TV channel obtain the bank statement of a deceased customer?How can a bank release the statement? How can the channel air and discuss its contents openly?

Bollywood going nuts!
Nepotism is what we all do! Nepotism is just a fancy word for what we call ‘networking’, ‘having contacts’ and ‘influence’ in our non-Bollywoodian industries.
