The nepotism debate has created a wave on social media. From social media arguments to locking horns on the microblogging site, Bollywood and its fans have seen it all! Tempers have been flaring in the Hindi film industry lately on social media. The latest burst of obvious emotional rage by Taapsee Pannu, Swara Bhasker, Anurag Kashyap, Ranvir Shorey and many other B-townies have pushed many to quit the industry. After Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide, the late actor's co-star Sanjana Sanghi has also put her Bollywood career on hold, and returned to her hometown.

Speaking about Thappad director Anubhav Sinha, who has garnered a lot of fame and adulation directing Mulk, Article 15 in recent years, has once again left his fans startled with his straightforward post on social media. After the current situation and hatred going on social media towards the B-townies, Anubhav has decided to call it quits with the world of showbiz.

For the uninitiated, he has even changed his Twitter profile from Anubhav Sinha to Anubhav Sinha (Not Bollywood).

His official twitter identity, of course, remains the same -- @anubhavsinha

Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra tweeted a reply:

Most fans urged Sinha to continue filmmaking, even if it meant from outside Bollywood.

"Resign from Bollywood but continue ur good work in Hindi Film Industry or just Film Industry," wrote a user. Others made light of his comment. "Sir ab Acting matt try kriyega.. Ijjat Nahi Krte log.. BTW, Wo Toh Director ki bhi nhi krte (Sir, don't try acting now.. no one will respect you.. By The Way, no one respects directors either)," tweeted a user.

Most people, however, were urging Sinha not to seriously carry out his declaration.

Hansal Mehta too joined the bandwagon of the directors who also declared Bollywood never existed in the first place. Take a look.
