Sushant Singh Rajput's demise has caused a lot of flutter in Bollywood with a section of the audience blaming nepotism for the late actor's troubles. In wake of this development, we also saw popular director and producer Karan Johar unfollow most accounts of actors, including Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan, whom he launched in Student of the Year in 2012.
As far as actors are concerned, he only follows Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan now, all of whom are incidentally outsiders. This had led to tongues wagging if Karan Johar is on a guilt trip after having been called out by the likes of Kangana Ranaut and a sizeable number of fans on social media.
Karan Johar's popularity on social media also seems to be dipping with a loss of followers and negative comments flooding his timeline. Post Sushant's demise, Johar had taken to Twitter and penned: This is heartbreaking....I have such strong memories of the times we have shared ...I can’t believe this ....Rest in peace my friend...when the shock subsides only the best memories will remain....
