Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha reacted to AIIMS report confirming that Sushant Singh Rajput’s death was a case of suicide and not murder. The director wrote on social media that the Mumbai Police had stated the same in 3.5 days what AIIMS concluded in its report after 3.5 months of the actor’s unfortunate death on June 14 in his Bandra apartment.

What took ‘others’ 3.5 months to establish was established by the @MumbaiPolice in 3.5 days. Metaphorically speaking. Ok?

Sushant Singh Rajput’s co-star in hit daily soap Pavitra Risha, Ankita Lokhande responded to a social media post by late actor’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti in which the latter wrote, “The test of faith is when you can stay strong and unshaken during the testing time. I urge my extended family to have faith in God and pray from all your heart. Pray that the truth comes out. #AllEyesOnCBI.” Ankita posted a heart emoticon in the comments section of this post.

Kangana Ranaut has raised a few questions after AIIMS report to CBI has ruled out that Sushant Singh Rajput was ‘murdered’. She wrote on social media, “With latest progress we need answers to few questions.

1) SSR repeatedly spoke about big production houses banning him. Who are these people who conspired against him?

2) Why media spread false news about him being a rapist?

3) Why was Mahesh Bhatt doing his psychoanalysis?” 

Kangana Ranaut reacted to news reports suggesting that the forensic team of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi hinted that late actor Sushant Singh Rajput had committed suicide. “Young and extraordinary individuals don’t just wake up one fine day and kill themselves,” Kangana wrote on social media.

Young and extraordinary individuals don’t just wake up one fine day and kill themselves. Sushant said he was being bullied and outcast, he feared for his life, he said movie mafia banned him and harassed him, he was mentally affected by being falsely accused of rape #AIIMS

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has opened up on the issue of drugs in the Hindi film industry. In a video message for fans, he said, “Today, narcotics and drugs are the the most talked-about topics. I can’t keep my hand on my heart and lie to you saying this problem does not exist. It does exists — just as it possibly exists in every other industry and profession. But that doesn’t mean every single person from the particular profession is involved.”

In a social media post on Sunday, Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister wrote, “The test of faith is when you can stay strong and unshaken during the testing time.
