Sushant Singh Rajput case: Final post mortem report submitted, rules out the possibility of foul play

<p>Sushant Singh Rajput's death has sparked off a debate on nepotism in Bollywood yet again. Fans and several celebrities have accused the likes of Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra of favouring star kids over talented outsiders like Rajput.<br />
<br />
Johar had mourned Rajput's death on social media soon after the news broke on Sunday. Since then the filmmaker has maintained a stoic silence even as many users have ruthlessly trolled him and other prominent Bollywood A-listers on Nepotism and not standing by Rajput in his time of crisis.<br />
<br />
On Wednesday, Johar seemed to have unfollowed multiple accounts on Twitter. The backlash has not only plummet the number of his followers on social media he also mysteriously unfollowed hundreds of accounts on Twitter including accounts of prominent Bollywood actors- some of whom are known to be close to him.<br />
<br />
Karan Johar is now only following eight Twitter accounts, out of which four belong to his production house Dharma and its CEO Apoorva Mehta. As for the other four, the accounts belong to three of the biggest superstars of India - Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.<br />
<br />
Along with Johar, his protege of sorts, Alia Bhatt too has been criticised by fans for making fun of Rajput. In an old video of Koffee With Karan that has surfaced online post the actor's death, Alia can be seen asking 'Who Sushant Singh Rajput?' to a rapid-fire question asked by Johar.<br />
<br />
Alia's social media followers have reportedly dipped as well post Rajput's death.<br />

Karan Johar and Sushant Singh Rajput had worked together in Tarun Manshukhani's long-delayed film 'Drive'. The movie was announced as a trilogy years back but ultimately released on Netflix and received negative reviews.</p>

Amid Sushant Singh Rajput death controversy, Karan Johar unfollows multiple accounts on Twitter

<p>As a virtual cold war ensues between different factions within the Indian entertainment industry over the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, Bollywood’s Saif Ali Khan spoke about stars pretending to care over his death.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He slammed the celebs and called the death of Sushant Singh Rajput “awful” but hit out at those “talking rubbish” in the midst of this tragedy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In an interview he said, “There are so many people who’ve made comments so quickly. And it just seems to me that people are somewhere gaining some mileage from this poor fellow’s tragedy, you know, whether it’s to show compassion or to show interest or to show some political stance. So many people are talking rubbish in this nonstop kind of barrage on social media and it’s just embarrassing, really, I think.”</p>

<p>“Out of respect for him, for Sushant’s tragedy, maybe a day of silence or introspection would be a little more becoming than this outpouring of love – an outpouring of love from people who obviously didn’t care about him and people who famously don’t care about anybody else,” he said.</p>

<p>Saif pointed out that the industry as a whole is famously competitive and thus pretending to care is an “insult” to Sushant Singh Rajput. “I mean, we don’t care about anybody. You know, it’s a very cutthroat line of work. But to pretend that you do care is like the ultimate hypocrisy and I think that’s an insult to the dead, you know, it’s an insult to the soul that’s gone,” he said.</p>

<p>On &nbsp;not taking any sides, Saif added, “These are the wrong comments to make now. I mean, you can say, listen, it’s just really bad, what happened.

And it’s sad that film people can’t think beyond films. We will all assume that this terrible thing happened to him because of his films. There is more to life. Maybe he was upset about other things in his life. Maybe it was a personal reason. Maybe it’s nothing to do with films. If you can’t see beyond that, you will put everything on that – the movies you do.”</p>

<p>Ever since the news of his suicide has spread, celebs have poured tributes for the actor, with some mourning his loss, some expressing shock while others slamming this very nature that is patronising for others.&nbsp;</p>

As a virtual cold war ensues between different factions within the Indian entertainment industry over the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, Bollywood’s Saif Ali Khan spoke about stars pretending to care over his death.

As a virtual cold war ensues between different factions within the Indian entertainment industry over the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, Bollywood’s Saif Ali Khan spoke about stars pretending to care over his death. He slammed the celebs and called the death of Sushant Singh Rajput “awful” but hit out at those “talking rubbish” in the midst of this tragedy. In an interview he said, “There are so many people who’ve made comments so quickly. And it just seems to me that people are somewhere gaining some mileage from this poor fellow’s tragedy, you know, whether it’s to show compassion or to show interest or to show some political stance. So many people are talking rubbish in this nonstop kind of barrage on social media and it’s just embarrassing, really, I think.” “Out of respect for him, for Sushant’s tragedy, maybe a day of silence or introspection would be a little more becoming than this outpouring of love – an outpouring of love from people who obviously didn’t care about him and people who famously don’t care about anybody else,” he said. Saif pointed out that the industry as a whole is famously competitive and thus pretending to care is an “insult” to Sushant Singh Rajput. “I mean, we don’t care about anybody. You know, it’s a very cutthroat line of work. But to pretend that you do care is like the ultimate hypocrisy and I think that’s an insult to the dead, you know, it’s an insult to the soul that’s gone,” he said. “We live in an age where people write 10 lines for you on Twitter and will walk past you on the street - won’t even touch you or shake your hand.

Shocking news of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has left the entire fraternity and the country as a whole talking about mental health and fallout of depression. While it’s still not clear how the 34-year-old succumbed to pressures to take this drastic step as he was found hanging at his Mumbai residence -- his family is crying foul at the suicide angle. Sara Ali Khan mourns the loss of her first co-star Sushant Singh Rajput The police reached early yesterday after a domestic help informed them of Sushant hanging himself. According to Mumbai police sources, the actor was reportedly suffering from depression as the cops have found medical papers and anti-depressant pills from his house. "Police will be contacting Rajput's doctor and record his statement to know what type of medicines he was taking and what problem he was facing," they said. As per the initial investigation yesterday, no suicide note was found from the actor's house. The police also do not suspect any foul play so far. However, the actor’s family in Patna, Bihar are demanding a CBI probe into the death of their son. Sushant Singh Rajput's maternal uncle is alleging that the actor has been murdered and has appealed for a CBI probe into the incident from the Union Home Minister Amit Shah and PM Narendra Modi. "This is a case of murder. The youth of Bihar and the Rajput Mahasabha demands a CBI enquiry into the incident. We demand a CBI enquiry from Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi into the murder," said Sushant Singh Rajput's maternal uncle RC Singh.
