After Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely demise last week, netizens have concluded that he was a victim of Bollywood’s nepotism and power play. Hence, there is an angry outburst on social media and star kids are being trolled.

Sharing Bhagat’s old tweet, a user wrote: “So it was supposed to be Sushant in Half Girlfriend but finally given to Starkid Arjun Kapoor. On whose direction?”
#SushantSingRajput left #Befikre after reading its script.. Aditya chopra wanted to cast him and he refused to do it. #HalfGirlfriend had Date clashes with Raabta so he walked out and same problem with #Fitoor . You are being just a Rumour mongerer here.. https://t.co/AAz2Lc422v
