Ya right why would anyone say anything for a fair trial for SSR after all he was a nobody in the same industry .I mean who even cares if he comes from film industry .. they better tweet for black lives matter or depression coz it’s easy to tweet about suicide than CBI investigation ..

and wait a minute .. it’s not like the first day itself was CBI involved .. it took a lot to arrive at this stage varna ppl tho had already written it as a closed case of suicide .. all bolly ppl especially Rhea and all very happy .. so much so that same Rhea who is Now against CBI was crying for CBI investigation haye haye .. kitne brave hai yeh bolly celebs 🤣.. too much spine I see 😆.. koi bravery award dho ..

His family took 45 days to file an FIR in Bihar. The case went to CBI bcz MP and BP weren't cooperating with each other. SM outrage has nothing to do with it

it's better they keep quite.

who knows Sushant did not take his life cos of Bollywood issues. maybe he had other issues.

yes exactly and am glad they did it else no one cared . All now we expect is for the grieving family is to have a moral support from the Bollywood fraternity nothing beyond that .. at the least stop painting Rhea as angel when ED are on it .

You expect moral support from immorals? No please no, lets hope Sushant's family stays far away from these criminal lovers.

Sushant's family definitely not need support of bollywood. They are influential family who have support from bihar govt, central govt, center's mouthpiece Arnab and Times now

Standing with Sushant family is like standing against Rhea who is also colleague. Let the court declare her guilty then call them out

Sushant was such a nice and genuine person... he never spoke bad language.. for anyone. and these bully’s using his death harassing so many people.. that is so sad. At least follow your hero... read a book.. look at stars.. do meditation.. why engage into something which he would have never approved

I had to put this out here because it was something that I was thinking about for a while. I hope the mods don't close this or merge it with the Sushant thread - this is a general discussion on a few things that have been reinforced in my mind, and I'd like to think others here might feel similarly.

The one thing that keeps annoying me in Sushant's death is Bollywood's silence..and the few that aren't silent are siding with Rhea..but, low-key. Fair enough, you want to show support towards Rhea for whatever reason..then show it out in the open. Come out and display it with confidence and let everyone know why..but to do it subtly in the name of faux feminism, or because they know Rhea since whatever days or personally..or whatever the case is is quite frankly cowardly to say the very least. If there are two sides to the story, and for anyone in this Bollywood 'fraternity" who feels that Rhea is in the right...similar to there being a justice-for-Sushant side that is loud and upfront..be that side for Rhea and show your support loud and clear - IF you TRULY feel she is innocent. The problem is, it's not loud and clear..it is subtle and misleading..and THAT is obnoxious and disgusting. It's almost like they want to display neutrality which NEVER helps the victim. And the victim in this case is Sushant..such people by default go against Sushant here - a fellow actor/peer/acquaintance etc. who died a mysterious death at the age of 34 years old - and THAT is wrong on so many levels. Silence and neutrality by default tells us what side most of these people are on. I will say "most" because I would like to believe perhaps 1% of them have some humanity in them and are just afraid to speak up due to repercussions.

This year has taught a lot of us several things..and one thing that it has taught me..as I can speak only personally here..is that always try to speak up for what is right. I know it is hard..I admit it's not easy to stand up alone when the crowd is all moving in the opposite direction as you..but there is a thing called conscience...and as long as I know I somehow in some way sided with what was right..I could say that I tried my best - and I am talking at the very least here. Everything with Sushant that has happened thus far and with the silences of many that actually knew him at some level..just reinforces that even more for me personally. I am not saying I know what happened to Sushant, all I am saying loud and clear is that Sushant and his family deserve justice.

Feel free to share any takeaways so far from your sides.

👏 There is nothing that I can add here .. 🤗

The thing SSR Warriors and Bhakts and their combined fanbase don't seem to understand is that celebs have freedom of speech. Freedom of speech also comes with the freedom of silence.

...

If they spoke about intolerance, it was something they felt and they turned out to be right anyway based on how much the BJP bhakt machine has harassed them for the last few years. Campaigns were led to make them shut up, protests were held outside theaters, rocks were thrown at their cars, BJP politicians told them to go to Pakistan, and the propagandist media that supports the bhakt machine calls them terrorists, spreads fake news about them, links them to ISI based on fake info and so on.

Everyone else will enjoy while the celebs will as usual face protests, death threats, rape threats, uninstalling apps, boycotts, demanding they be removed from ads, told to go to Pakistan and so on. Why would they give any fuel to scumbags?

You don't have to preach. Earlier too, I have stood for their freedom of silence.

You mean to say, Kiran asking Amir "Should we leave India" was because, there were campaigns to make them shut up, rocks were thrown at their cars and people kept asking them to go to Pakistan. They are silent with Sushant because, he might have had some personal issues and died?

Sonam, Kareena felt ashamed of being a Hindustani when a child was raped and murdered. But they are not ashamed of being in Bollywood when their colleague died a suspicious death.

I did not expect them to speak about Sadhu's lynching. Their tweet do not make any difference. But Sushant was their colleague.

I am sure, still you will bring political angle and drag BJP/Bhakts into it. I am not interested in political debate at the moment. (Also this will lead to thread getting locked or moved). So I will quit this thread.

Acc toGoogle quotes

Wise men speak when they have something to say

Fools speak when they have to say something

The internet keyboard warriors are basically wanting everyone to be fools

It’s not necessary everyone should have an opinion on this, or have to voice it...particularly when they don’t know details abt the case, didn’t know sushanth personally or didn’t even know the circumstances of his demise

No need to crucify people for this

I don't blame them for not speaking up... Some of the stars got trolled, bashed called names when they posted condolence message on social media. Some were called out and bashed for things they said on a talk show, some people even accused some stars of being complicit in murdering Sushant. So most who got trolled and bashed will be hesitant to speak in support of Sushant because Im sure there will be people who will accuse them of doing pr stunt and crying crocodile tears. Most will not want that again..

Im more concerned about why some of the ardent Sushant supporters who spoke up in support of Sushant against the so called 'BW mafia' like Shekhar Kapur, Manoj Bajpayee, Ranvir Shorey are all silent when the family filed FIR against Rhea. Apurva Asrani another vocal person said blaming Rhea is witch hunting.
