Viral also labeled Deepika's accusing the paparazzi to monetize through Sushant's funeral pictures as a 'cheap' attempt.

Take a look. 

Viral also mentioned how many news channels and newspapers were also covering Sushant's funeral. He pointed out that they were not following any guidelines while doing so. He further added that it is always the Bollywood paparazzi who are accused of these cheap tactics. 

He also shared a tweet wherein he stated that he is always open to criticism. He further added that his followers often correct him when he makes some mistake while sharing the pictures. But he pointed out that even though his posts can come across as 'attention-seeking', he does not crave attention through his work.
