Sonam Kapoor lashes out over 'girlfriends, exes' being targeted amid Sushant Singh's death

While the industry is mourning the death of a talented actor like Sushant Singh Rajput, people all over social media have been expressing their opinion on the actor's tragic death. The one question that has been haunting everyone after the news of the Raabta actor's death by suicide on June 14 is 'Why?' which has resulted in a blame game among members of the Bollywood industry.

Sonam Kapoor has slammed these people who have dragged names of her friends from the film fraternity accusing them of being non-empathetic to the late actor. 

Sonam Kapoor on her Twitter handle wrote, "Blaming a girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, family, colleagues for someone’s death is ignorant and mean spirited."

While Sonam Kapoor's tweet was seen as a defense of her friends in the industry, Queen actor Kangana Ranaut in a two-minute video, slammed the nepotism and hypocrisy the industry comes with. 'Nepotism' is an oft-referred-to practice in Bollywood where only star kids--the insiders-- seem to get the big projects and outsiders -- like Kangana and Sushant Singh Rajput among others-- often lose out. Kangana has lashed out that they don't want the big films and all they want is recognition for their work.

Nupur Sanon lashed out at these people as she said, "Aapki permission ho toh sukoon se ro sakte hain?? Please??" (With your permission, can we cry in peace?)
