Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has not only become a piece of shocking news to the world but also a big reason for bullies, trolls, and controversies.
Recently, many twitter users brought Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt in the limelight criticizing them for mocking the late actor, Sushant Singh Rajput. The two were under fire after they mourned the loss of the actor.
Netizens revisited one of Alia’s Koffee With Karan appearances where she mocked Sushant during a rapid-fire round. While fans called out Alia for the moment, Swara Bhasker stepped forward to defend Karan and Alia on Twitter. She deemed trolls blaming the two for Sushant’s death as “height of idiocy and hypocrisy”.
Parts of India Twitter blaming #KaranJohar and #AliaBhatt for the tragic suicide of Sushant – for some silly game played on a frivolous and pointless chat show (that All those people who are now abusing Bollywood nepotism lapped up) is both the height of idiocy and hypocrisy! 1/n

Sushant didn’t leave a note. We don’t know what he went thru. We don’t know the cause. STOP taking out ur frustration using the pain of a troubled person. He didn’t leave a note! Get it? He didn’t want to talk about it. He’s gone. Let him have his peace & his family privacy. 2/n

That may be but it’s still idiotic to hold Karan & Alia responsible for this tragedy – because they made some thoughtless comments. The fact is we don’t know what Sushant was going through nor what the cause was. Everything being discussed is speculation & gossip. It’s not right. https://t.co/UlRkINyWyx

It’s a wake-up call, please stop gaining brownie points,” a tweet read.
“No one blamed them for being responsible for the tragedy. Karan and Alia and other reports’ are being blamed for the hypocrites they are with their SM post of them being heartbroken, Sad with the tragedy,” added another user.

Nepotism has been the backbone of the Bollywood industry for decades now. It has created a huge negative impact on the outsiders who enter the industry and excel at their work without any godfather. Actress Kangana Ranaut has been bold to initiate this concern in the industry, and this effort of hers gave other starts the wings to fight against nepotism.
Recently, Bollywood actress, Koena Mitra has also shared her viewpoint on nepotism. She said: Pointing out that Bollywood is no longer about honoring performances and encouraging cinema Koena added that actors don’t get their due in the industry.
Slamming nepotism the actress added, “Bollywood is no more about celebrating art. The culture, fashion, and lifestyle are more popular. Bollywood lifestyle is more popular than substantial films and then comes groupism and friendship where friends are expected to work for free. There are a lot of bread snatchers in our industry, so much that they will snatch the last piece of bread from your mouth and leave you hungry just to do favors to their camp. Nepotism, bias, and gundagiri is there in our industry and has become a habit now.”
