In a fiery public service announcement made on her official fan-handle, the actress came out strongly against the Bollywood film industry for not giving the actor his dues. She also slammed the media for projecting the actor’s “weak mind” as the reason for his death by suicide.

“If celebrities are struggling with personal and mental health issues, the media should try and emphasize with them, rather than making it difficult for them,” read the caption of the video post.

Kangana pointed out that Sushant was a rank holder and asked how he could have a “weak mind”. Taking reference from a viral post of the star pleading with people to watch his movies as he “didn’t have a godfather” in the industry, Kangana also said that despite his great lineup of films, he didn’t receive any acknowledgment or awards, unlike the other star-kids of the industry.

Calling out the many rumor mongers and “paid journalist” who wrote pieces alleging he was “psychotic, neurotic and an addict,” Kangana said, “Sanjay Dutt ke addiction ko aap log bahut cute lagte hai.”

She also went on to claim that she has been receiving messages from people stating that she is in a very ‘difficult time’ and advising her not to take any such drastic step

“Why are you telling me this? Why do you want to put the thought of suicide in my mind?” she asked. Kangana further went on to allege, "Ye suicide nahi, planned murder that!"

She ended her video saying that Sushant’s only fault was in believing those people who told him he was “worthless” and forgot his mother’s words to him.

Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide on Sunday, June 14, it was reported. His grieving family arrived in Mumbai for his last rite rituals. Early Monday evening, family members, friends, and former co-stars were spotted arriving at his Bandra residence to pay their last respects.
