Social media poured out support and backlash to both the actresses.
The irony of #KanganaRanaut claiming to care for outsiders while harassing #TaapseePannu and #SwaraBhasker should not be lost on anyone.

“ -Needy outsider

Taapsee also voiced out for being blamed for standing on the side of oppressors and supporting nepotism. “Next time another outstanding talent gets scared to even enter our industry n kills his passion and hope to contribute to Indian cinema coz some people painted purely negative picture about how outsiders are treated do remember YOU are ALSO responsible for it.” she wrote.

It came as a shocker when Bollywood’s Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai Apartment where the Police had confirmed that it was indeed a suicide. The 34-year-old actor entered the film Industry with the film Kai Po Che and he has been unstoppable ever since. His wise choice of scripts and his onscreen charisma of each of his character has been irreplaceable. Many from Bollywood have been mourning the loss of one of its finest actors including director/producer Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Sonam Kapoor and Kriti Sanon among many others.
However, Karan Johar’s message has not been taken well by the audience and neither has Alia Bhatt’s or Sonam Kapoor’s. Artists from within the industry have pointed finger at the director for promoting nepotism, at actor Salman Khan for not letting newcomers survive in the industry without his consent and all the actors and actresses who have been products of nepotism. Recently, Kangana Ranaut’s interview talking about Sushant’s death has created a stir, however, most of them on social media seemed to have agreed with her.
