In a series of tweets, Kangana Ranaut attacked some of the prominent names of the film industry including Mahesh Bhatt, her daughters Alia and Shaheen Bhatt. Ranaut, who has been taking potshots at the Bollywood industry, said that she regretted not being there for Sushant Singh Rajput who would have turned 35 today. Taking a swipe at nepotism in the film industry, the Queen actress wrote, attempts were made to bring down Sushant. As there were reports of Rajput being in depression before his death on June 14 last year, Ranaut took a dig at director-producer Mahesh Bhatt, whose daughter Shaheen also fought the battle with depression.
She wrote, "Mahesh Bhatt entered Sushant's life and started to psyche him that he is bound to go Parveen Babi way because he was depressed, Bhatt saab if all depressed people go Babi way then your daughter Shaheen should also go that way she is official brand ambassador of depression." This is not the first time that Ranaut has made these allegations, she had earlier, slammed the Bhatts for mocking Sushant in the public domain. She also targeted, Alia Bhatt's close aide Karan Johar and Yash Raj films head honcho Aditya Chopra. She wrote, “Never forget Sushant spoke about YashRaj films banning him,He also spoke about Karan Johar showing him big dreams and dumping his film on streaming, then crying to the whole world that Sushant is a flop actor. Never forget all Mahesh Bhatt children are depressed yet he told Sushant that he will die Parveen Babi death, he self admittedly gave him therapy. These people collectively killed him and Sushant himslef wrote that in his social media interaction before his death. Never forgive never forget #SushantSinghRajput #SushantDay,” she wrote on the microblogging site. Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai apartment on July 14, 2020 under mysterious circumstances. His untimely demise had shocked the entire film fraternity and his fans across the globe.
