Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise has sent shock waves across the industry. Celebrities poured in their condolences and shared their memory with the deceased actor. Meanwhile, politician Sanjay Nirupam alleged that Rajput signed seven films after the success of his 2019 film Chhichhore, only to lose all seven in a matter of six months.
Sanjay Nirupam qualified director Shekhar Kapur's tweet on Sushant Singh Rajput being "let down" by the film fraternity. “I knew the pain you were going through. I knew the story of the people that let you down so bad that you would weep on my shoulder. I wish Iwas around the last 6 months. I wish you had reached out to me. What happened to you was their Karma. Not yours. #SushantSinghRajput,” tweeted Sekhar Kapoor on Monday.
However, Sanjay did not specify which films Sushant lost and the makers of those films. Sushant’s death has sparked severe criticism of the film industry, many of whom declared themselves shattered. Very few of those who posted actually attended the actor's funeral on Monday, and not a single A-lister was among them.
Sanjay Nirupam was at the funeral, as were actors Kriti Sanon, Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao and Vivek Oberoi, and filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor.
Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt were among many Bollywood stars, who expressed their grief on social media. However, their tweet did not go well with the netizens and they criticized them for mocking Sushant on the talk show in the past.
During Koffee With Karan, Alia was asked to rate three celebrities – Ranveer Singh, Sushant Singh Rajput and Varun Dhawan. After hearing Sushant’s name, she replied, ‘Sushant Singh Rajput, Who?’
In another episode of Koffee With Karan, when Karan asked her to choose one in the question of Kill, Marry, and Hookup, she responded that she will marry Ranbir, hookup with Ranveer and kill Sushant.
The Kedarnath actor had revealed earlier that nobody used to invite him to parties as they did not consider him as family or part of the industry.
