Suhana Khan, daughter of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, made her debut as the cover girl for fashion magazine Vogue India, triggering a social media debate on nepotism in the film industry.

For its August 2018 issue, the magazine has 18-year-old on the cover, something that has not gone down well with people amid a raging debate on nepotism in the film industry.

Facing backlash from netizens, Vogue India disabled comments section on her photos on Instagram.

Amid congratulatory messages, Twitter was flooded with posts slamming the glamour world for choosing Suhana, who is yet to officially step into the fashion/film industry, as the cover girl, accusing the magazine of nepotism.

Really don't believe in celebrity bashing, but why is Suhana Khan is on the cover of Vogue?

Technically this isn't even celebrity bashing, because she's not one, her father is.

My dad is an accountant, will ICAI put me on their monthly magazine cover?

Suhana khan gets to be the face of a leading magazine just for being SRK's child where there are girls busting their asses in various fields to get half of that recognition is where it's at.

I understand nepotism, I understand easy starts and quick access due to genes or contacts with those who hold the reigns. However, if you are untalented, no matter how much you try you will bite the dust. Time will tell if the safar of #SuhanaKhan would be Suhana at all.

#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 ?

I think SRKians should stop giving attention to this drama. When your favorite is not giving you enough stuff to talk about everyday, you need new topics to rant about and if it's Suhana Khan today, let it be.
