While was happy to share the news, angry fans of Sushant Singh Rajput slammed her and raised the nepotism issue. One user commented, "No one will watch it. Just saying", while another one wrote: No one is going to watch this 98% Nepotistic movie".
One social media user said that her family's comment on the late actor was the reason of herself boycotting the film. "Mam! Sorry, but we aren't going to watch it. Others may be boycotting it for nepotism but I'm boycotting it because of what your family has said about Sushant after his death, won't be able to watch it now", she wrote.
The nepotism debate has created a wave on social media. From unfollowing the stars to sending them hateful messages, netizens have done it all. Ever since Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt and many celebrities who have claimed not even knowing Sushant Singh Rajput, mourned on social media, it did not go well. It's not just trollers who have stood up and spoke their heart out but also many others who decided to unfollow Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar and Bollywood celebrities who are a part of nepotism.
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. ðu00c2u009fu00c2u0099u00c2u008f
