Some celebs and people close to the actor from the industry supported the fact that Sushant indeed was sidelined. Along with this, Kangana Ranaut's new video on nepotism, star kids and outsiders is also doing the rounds.

Meanwhile, filmmaker Shekhar Kapur tweeted, "I knew the pain you were going through. I knew the story of the people that let you down so bad that you would weep on my shoulder. I wish Iwas around the last 6 months. I wish you had reached out to me. What happened to you was their Karma. Not yours. #SushantSinghRajput." Actor Nikhil Dwivedi wrote, "At times our movie industry's hypocrisy gets to me. High &mighty announcing they shud ve kept in touch wth Sushant..Cmon u didn't! &thts coz his career dipped. So STFU! R u in touch with Imran Khan, Abhay Deol &others? No!But u were, whn they were doing well."
Of course, boycotting Bollywood isn't exactly the solution as there are ample of more talented artists in the industry. They deserve their chance to shine just like Sushant did! At this point all we could do is cherish Sushant's Bollywood films forever!
