Much has been said of Rhea Chakraborty and how she induced Sushant Singh Rajput to take the extreme step. However, many celebrities are coming in defence of Rhea and chief among it is Anurag Kashyap.
He earlier took to Twitter to pen, "Everybody baying for Rhea’s blood, asking questions like how did you know she didn’t do this or that to him?how do you what was he going through?are forgetting that the whole industry has actually known and seen and interacted with SSR over last 9-10 years. Yes we know better 1/2."
He further continued, "And that is also the reason the whole industry has been quiet so far out of respect for him . And now it is that very knowledge of SSR that has again brought everyone out here together to stand in solidarity for Rhea because it’s gone too far. Republic doesn’t inform our opinion." (sic)
He also put forth conversations with Sushant Singh Rajput's manager in which he has called the actor problematic.
"I am sorry that I am doing this but this chat is from three weeks before he passed away. Chat with his manager on 22 May .. havent don’t it so far but feel the need now .. yes I didn’t want to work with him for my own reasons ..," he reasoned before posting the WhatsApp chat.
Fan comments read as such,
Sir, what was the need? After days of his death, you post a chat which says "he is a problematic man", why would you do that? I hope you are aware of the fact that you can respect a person even after his death. This didn't make you cool. Now, I support #SSR MORE.
#JusticeForSSR
So? So what? U finding a person problematic how is it such a big deal. I find my boss problematic but my colleague doesn’t. What stupidity is this. Are you trying to say what u felt about a person is that person’s truth? Ur ex wife will also have similar things to say bout u.
You found him problematic how is that end of the discussion? How is your perception the end of the story? You not casting him in your movie is fine but that doesn't mean he had problems. Why should I take your version of the story?
Bullywood with limited thinking abilities.
Define problematic:
When actor has a mind of his own, questions baseless loopholes in script, and doesn't enjoy ur snort parties and other banal pleasures of the flesh.
And isn't afraid to call u out on them. (sic)
Sushant was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14. A CBI enquiry has been initiated into his demise.
He was known for his performances in films such as Kai Po Che, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story and Chhichhore amidst others.
