Ekta Kapoor, a Bollywood producer, got the taste of trollers, who called her out for supporting the depression theory that supposedly prompted young actor Sushant Singh Rajput to take his own life on 14 June. They questioned her for using Rajput’s name and image to raise funds for her programme.
Nina Ambani, social activist and wife of Aisa’s richest businessman Mukesh Ambani, posted a “Get Well Soon Ekta” tweet.

Rajput's fans slammed Kapoor with the hashtag #ShameOnEktaKapoor for promoting a theory that was rejected by the actor's family.
Thousands of farmers commit suicide in India because they're not able to pay loans and then we have a "Pavitra Rishta Fund" to raise awareness on mental health. What dramas.

Meanwhile, after the Supreme Court of India ordered a federal probe into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, Ekta Kapoor came out with a statement on Instagram saying that “I dissociate myself from the ‘Pavitra Rishta Fund’ till investigations are carried out and we have a clear picture on Sushant’s unfortunate death".
