Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has put Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt in the Twitter’s line of fire as the two celebrities were trolled for shedding “fake tears”.
Last night, Alia had tweeted, “I’m in a deep state of shock. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t have the words. I’m totally devastated. You’ve left us too soon. You will be missed by each and every one of us. My deepest condolences to Sushant’s family, loved ones, and his fans (sic).
As for Karan, he wrote, “This is heartbreaking….I have such strong memories of the times we have shared …I can’t believe this ….Rest in peace my friend…when the shock subsides only the best memories will remain…. Broken heart (sic).”
Sushant’s fans on Twitter went on an overdrive and pointed out that such “fake” condolence messages mean nothing right now, especially after Sushant is no more. The hashtag #BoycottBollywood has been trending on the micro-blogging site since morning. Screenshots of tweets calling out the ‘Bollywood elite club’, and Karan and Alia in particular, have also gone viral.
Another screenshot of an old tweet, revealing that Dharma Productions, Yash Raj Films, Balaji Motion Pictures, Salman Khan Films, Sajid Nadiadwala, T Series and Dinesh Vijan have banned Sushant Singh Rajput, leaving him no choice but to work in TV series or web series, is also being circulated.
Clips of a particular Rapid Fire session on Karan’s Koffee With Karan show, featuring Alia, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra, where the four discuss Sushant, is also being shared widely to point out how little star-kids thought of the late actor.
