Vogue India called out for nepotism after featuring Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan on cover
Shah Rukh Khan himself launched the magazine at the Vogue Beauty Awards 2018. Suhana Khan was revealed the face of Vogue India’s August issue on Tuesday and raised several eyebrows.
Twitterati questioned the 18-year-old’s accolades which landed her the prestigious magazine cover as Suhana is still studying and has never worked in a film.
The magazine cover describes Suhana as a “student, theatre lover, future star, daughter of a star who will probably finance all her movies till she actually becomes a ‘star’ but yea hello Suhana Khan. NepotismRocks: Karan Johar,” wrote one Twitter user.

A struggling TV actor also tweeted her own woes and how the children of stars have it easy. “The reason I am annoyed is because when Suhana Khan had to step into the Vogue India office, nobody told her ‘you don’t fit the requirement’. To wake up each morning with the same amount of motivation for the same agenda each day, every day, try that! I promise it isn’t easy!” she wrote.
Thus! The reason I am annoyed is because when Suhana Khan had to step into the Vogue India office, nobody told her “you don’t fit the requirement.” To wake up each mrng with the same amount of motivation for the same agenda each day, every day, try that! I promise it isn’t easy!

Suhana Khan on the cover of Vogue almost feels like she saw Jahnvi Kapoor and went “Papa, mereko bhi chahiye”!

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?

Following the outrage, Vogue India disabled comments for the Instagram posts announcing Suhana as the cover star.
