I was actually against the pile on happening. KJo, Alia, Ranbir, all the junior Alias, Sonam, Sonakshi, etc. seem to be dim bulbs with an inflated opinion of themselves. They're quite pathetic, actually. SSR was by all accounts an intelligent man. The nepo gang was likely threatened and resorted to mean girl tactics.
They were in all likelihood too dumb to realize these things have consequences. Or that these things have consequences they would be forced to see unlike the death of a driver or a maid which would get swept under the carpet. Or that the consequences would cause a public outcry.
Problem is I assumed they all had consciences and would be feeling horribly guilty.
Seeing the amount of support they're getting in this forum and the kind of arguments made, I have to assume a certain amount PR involvement and coordination.
Excuses thus far:
1. Oh, they simply didn't invite him to parties
2. Oh, it's the producers money, and he's entitled to hire who he wants.
3. Oh, the audience should've gone to watch his movies.
4. Oh, how do you know for sure the blinds came from nepo gang?
5. Oh, isn't this bullying, too?
6. Oh, what if one of the nepo gang does the same tomorrow?
7. Oh, he was already crazy.
1. First of all, untrue. They did a lot more than not invite him. Secondly, imagine being in an office, and every party, you're the only one not invited. Yeah, not cool.
2. When the producer puts financial and work-poltical pressure to not hire an actor considered a threat to one of his gang, then it's a problem. Adi Chopra for all practical purposes damaged SSR's career to favor Ranveer's. How many movies did SSR lose after Chichore's success?
3. Audience did go to watch his movies. SSR gave hit after hit. Unfortunately, the film fraternity either ignored his success, dismissed it as due to other factors, or gave credit to people like Sara.
4. The nepo gang is vicious but utterly dumb and so confident of their ability to escape consequences, they admitted on television they spread rumors and and blinds.
5. Yes, it is bullying to do the same to you. I hope it doesn't go too far, but having a small taste of the same medicine might help you think twice because you clearly don't have the emotional depth to feel guilt or remorse or empathy.
6. If one of you tries this tomorrow, there will be a lot of guilt to pass around. Problem is there is no other way of making you face up to what you did. Problem is also that the coordinated PR campaign you're running here and on other social media sites tells the world that YOU don't feel any guilt in which case the pile on is entirely justified.
7. Do you have a heart? If you knew it already, why deliberately make it worse? Or is it that you're doing one final smear campaign against him to escape the consequences of your actions? NOTE: This is not to avoid acknowledging the very real problem of mental illness. This is to call out the insinuations of "too unstable to work with" put about by Bhatt camp and the like.

I still want to believe the mean girl gang was vicious but too dumb to realize the consequences of their actions. I still want to believe they feel some amount of guilt. So I'll again say this. The gang did not directly cause SSR's problems. Their behavior made it worse, but they couldn't have been expected to know.
Still, those arguing that KJo, Adi Chopra, Ranbir, Ranveer, Alia, Sonam, Sonakshi, junior Alias et al did nothing wrong are doing so with the benefit of hindsight. They're making that argument despite seeing the very real consequence. If this is not PR and simply members posting... I don't know what goes on in your real lives, so I'll refrain from making comments on the behavior. Try to find some sorrow in your hearts for the life lost, the potential lost.
