New Delhi:
Three days after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, Vidyut Jammwal was put on surveillance on social networks for not having shared a tribute or note of praise to the deceased actor. A user’s tweet to Vidyut Jammwal said, “Hey Vidyut, no tweet for Sushant,” to which the actor responded by saying, “Silence says a lot if you stop and listen. No tears or the inability to write praise and sincere memories could also be a way to express grief. Neither the deceased soul nor the family read the tweets, so who to write to? We all cry and cry – I do it quietly. “Read his tweet here:
Silence speaks volumes if you stop and listen. Absence of tears / inability to write praise and sincere memories could also be a means of expressing grief. Neither the deceased soul nor the family read the Tweets, so who to write for? We cry and we all cry, I do it quietly. https://t.co/YJks0oaV1D

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai home on Sunday – police say he died by suicide and an investigation is underway. Tributes from the late actor poured in on social media from his co-stars and colleagues from the film’s fraternity. Sushant’s Raabta co-star Kriti Sanon and her Chhichhore Co-star Shraddha Kapoor was ashamed online for failing to post tributes to the late actor on social media – however, the comment changed when they visited Sushant’s family during his funeral at Pawan Hans Crematorium Monday. Kriti Sanon shared a note on Wednesday calling critical fans for labeling her “heartless” and the media for “knocking” on her car window when she went to the funeral of the deceased actor. Kriti wrote: “Hit the car window and say madam sheesha neeche karo na to get a clearer picture of someone going to the funeral. Funerals are a very private and personal matter. Let us put humanity before our profession. “She also criticized the media for writing blind articles and said:” Blind articles should be illegal, should be banned. They should be victims of mental harassment. So either have proof and bullshit to write the names, or don’t write at all. “Blind articles are articles that run anonymously on the Internet, without taking the names of the people the article is about.
Rajput’s death on Sunday also prompted fellow film fraternities to call the “Bollywood Privilege Club” and creeping patronage in the industry. Actors Ranvir Shorey, Vivek Oberoi, Raveena Tandon and filmmakers Shekhar Kapur and Anubhav Sinha tweeted about the “nasty girl gang” and the prevalent camps in the industry. Politician Sanjay Nirupam alleged that Mr. Rajput had lost seven films within six months of his 2019 hit Chhichhore.
Funeral of Sushant was followed by a handful of colleagues from the Bollywood industry. Kriti Sanon, Shraddha Kapoor, Ranvir Shorey, Rajkummar Rao and his first director Abhishek Kapoor were present with the family of the deceased actor during the ritual.
Sushant, who rose to fame with the television series Pavitra Rishta, was last seen in the film 2019 Chhichhore and the Netflix movie Drive.
