‘Stand with Sushant Singh Rajput’s fans, don’t go by language and curses’: Salman Khan appeals to his followers

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has appealed to his fans to increase support to Sushant Singh Rajput’s family and admirers after a criminal complaint was filed against him for abetting the suicide of the late actor.

Rajput, 34, was found dead at his Mumbai residence on Flag Day.

Earlier in the week, a Muzaffarpur-based advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha filed a petition naming Bollywood bigwig like Khan, producers Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar, Ekta Kapoor and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali as accused.

Taking to Twitter on Saturday, Khan asked his fans to know the emotions Sushant’s admirers were browsing after his demise.

“A request to all or any my fans to face with Sushant’s fans and to not pass the language and therefore the curses used but to travel with the emotion behind it. Please support and stand by his family and fans because the loss of a beloved is extremely painful,” he wrote.

Ojha had alleged that the heavyweights had tried to stall the career of the upcoming star. The Patna-born actor was known for films including “Kai Po Che!”, “MS Dhoni: The Untold Story”, “Chhichhore”.

A couple of other filmmakers have also been named as co-accused within the case.

A complaint was also filed before a court in Bihar on Saturday accusing actor Rhea Chakraborty of getting abetted Rajput’s suicide.

Rajput’s death has reignited discussions round the struggle of survival in Bollywood, navigating cliques, particularly for outsiders.
