Many prominent Bollywood personalities like Irrfan Khan, Rishi Kapoor, Sushant Singh Rajput and Saroj Khan have passed away this year. It’s been more than three weeks since the demise of Sushant Singh Rajput. There are still many discussions and debates about nepotism, conspiracy theories surrounding his death. In an interview to Hindustan Times, Raveena Tandon urged people to stop sensationalising the death. She said, “Stop sensationalising it now. You can’t blame anyone, not the film industry. This is just becoming a witch-hunt, a lynch mob, which is wrong. People have to think rationally. It’s doing a great disservice to the poor boy who’s gone.” Also Read – Filmy Friday: Before Namashi Chakraborty’s Bad Boy, here are 6 Rajkumar Santoshi films every millennial needs to watch

The actress said that she’s sad seeing a Whatsapp doing the rounds. She said, “Karan Johar intentionally made a bad film for Sushant, so he could ruin the actor’s career. Why would a producer pay an actor crores of rupees, sign him in his movie and then risk the rest of the crores in making a shitty film? Why would anyone invest so much money, time and mechanism to intentionally sabotage his own film? How absurd are these allegations!”
