It all started with Chetan tweeting about how now that late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's last movie Dil Bechara will be releasing online, film critics, who in Bhagat's opinion had 'ruined enough lives' should 'be fair and sensible.'

As per Chetan's claims, Vidhu not only publicly humiliated Bhagat but also drove the writer 'close to suicide' while Anupama 'watched' from the sidelines. These accusations come shortly after the Bollywood Lobby or Mafia has been accused of not providing industry outsiders with fair amounts of opportunities otherwise enjoyed by B-Town's star kids. All of this debate kickstarted after Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide at his Bandra home on June 14 and was reportedly suffering from depression. The reason for his delicate mental state was said to be nepotism and B-Town biggies were accused of trying to sabotage Rajput's career.
