What is this dadagiri that everyone has to talk loudly about this? And of course if that opinion is different from yours, you will trash them anyway.

Why would they get involved in a case they know nothing about? Most of them had no connection to Sushant so they have no idea what was going on with him. What is there for them to say?

These SSR bots are going on every celebs mentions on twitter and instagram and harassing them and handing out death threats. Thank god the other side doesn't act like crazies.

My issue is the hypocrisy. During the Salman Khan trial. Everyone from Abhijeet Bhattacharya to Amitabh Bachchan tweeted in his support. They can support a criminal but not a dead man getting justice. Everyone from Vidya saying let someone who had a on the spot verdict of suicide rest in peace or not having a word to say about Sushant's case is disappointing to say the least.


As for trial by media. When the Mumbai police clearly hasn't been doing their job. There needs to be scrutiny by media in order to ensure people are doing their job and not obstructing justice. The Mumbai police obstructing the Bihar police shows shady business done by them. Even if they didn't feel they had jurisdiction that was something they had to fight out in court not obstruct them physically. The news was broken out by Sushant's family lawyer. Every single case where there is corruption of powerful people the media has come to the rescue of justice be it the Jessica Lal case. The point of journalism is to give valid criticism of the wealthy and powerful in a proper functioning democracy. Even people like Renuka Shahane who I admire for their bravery in the #metoo movement have been disappointing and said there should be just trial without media pressure. Renuka it needed media pressure to balance out conflicts of interest.


Vidya literally asking people to be silent and let this case be buried the less said the better. To the feminist the only time Rhea really starting baring the brunt of criticism was after the family filed the FIR against her and started speaking out. These same feminist like Renuka critiqued Nana Patekar when they heard in the media of how he treated Tanushree. Well by every family member of Sushant's Rhea has been accused of abuse as well. That is holding different genders to different standards. When you excuse woman for abuse until a trial but not men.


And Kareena did make both ignorant and arrogant statements about nepotism. She probably doesn't deserve to be bullied. But her ignorance does deserve critique. Even people on the forum are so protective of their own favorites that they don't want certain people to be called out and critiqued ever. If we want to change in Bollywood than everyone responsible for an unfair and unjust system should be called out. Even Karan Johar. We had a family over for dinner yesterday that move here from Mumbai in 2000. They stated people assume he has more power than he deserves but he promotes nasty behavior of the Bollywood colleagues on his show and does over promote untalented star kids. Did Jhanvi deserve a biopic after her performance in Dhadak? With all the good opportunities going to untalented star kids of course it would be harder for a talented outsider to make their place in the industry. Does this not help create groupism?


Their silence even in support of justice and urging of the public to let this CASE more then Sushant rest in peace as a suicide for which no one can be blamed not only is cowardly, hypocritical but very suspicious.

It doesn't require guts to do behti ganga me haath dhona and support the mood of the public. That's what kangna is doing. But Everyone needs to respect the law and not support anyone blindly. Glad they r silent

Kangana, Ranvir Shorey, Hansal Mehta, Shekhar Kapur etc need to be questioned more . They were shouting about BW bullies and diluting the main issue but now they are silent . Shouldn’t they be supporting the family and asking for justice? But none of them have. Hansal in particular is mocking SSR’s fans .


And less said the better about “Witch Hunt “ crowd. Hypocritical mess of a people.


As for the silent ones, “He loved me so much” condolence should be the window to their narcissism. I don’t expect any better.

Kangana is insane, I thought u knew that. Trying to find logic and rationale in her statements is an exercise in futility.

Also lets not forget, these people were trolled even for their condolence messages.. is ne aisa kyun likha.. Is ke mein aur emotion nahi tha.. bas itna sa message? Is ke message mein depth nahi.. Is message mein feel nahi

Although, condolence messages are the last things that should ever be judged.. so ya.. why will they set up themselves for more trolling by saying anything about a case they might not have complete knowledge about? their every word is scrutinized so it is best to speak only after the verdict is out

They were also trolled for their support of Salman Khan on social media a few years back. That didn't stop them from continuing to support him. Amitabh Bachchan went on republic and said Bollywood is a family and Salman is family. When Arnab questioned him about not speaking up for Shweta Prasad who was amazing as a child artist and falsely accused of prostitution. He had no response.

She singlehandedly derailed the investigation from Sushant's real personal problems to nonsense related to BW. A whole month was wasted on useless stuff like questioning Aditya Chopra and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. She dragged in politics and religion to get the IT Cell trending daily garbage. Kangana, news anchors, TV channels, politicians, exes - anyone and everyone is making hay while the sun shines.

Now people want even more juicy drama and keep demanding that celebrities also get involved.
