Alia Bhatt, who is facing flak for her 'fake condolence post' for Sushant Singh Rajput, found herself under the scanner again on Thursday. One of Rajput's cryptic tweets in 2015 did the rounds, in which he was alluding to Bhatt. Here's what Alia Bhatt posted after the actor's demise.
Her Twitter feed read:
I’m in a deep state of shock.
— Alia Bhatt (@aliaa08) June 14, 2020
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. ðu00c2u009fu00c2u0099u00c2u008f
The late actor had written, "It's funny how people try to sabotage others' projects for seemingly personal gains. These frivolous stories do make for a better script than yours." He had posted it immediately after Bhatt chose to walk out of Raabta (2017) and opt for mentor Karan Johar's Shuddhi, co-starring Varun Dhawan. A section of angry netizens was keen to remind her of the incident. Shuddhi did not roll and Kriti Sanon was roped in for Raabta.
Ever since the actor committed suicide, a lot of people have started talking against nepotism and its repercussions. In fact, Twitteratis have also started #KaranJoharGang and banning his films on social media. Apart from this, many have also started to unfollow the duo, along with Sonam Kapoor and a lot of star kids.
