Sushant Singh Rajput and the burden of being a ‘Shravan Kumar’ in toxic Bihari families

TV interviews of Sushant Singh Rajput's father K.K. Singh and allegations made in FIR led Indians to call Rhea Chakraborty a witch.

Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s case has now finally been handed over to the CBI – but not before everyone from his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty to Bollywood filmmakers Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra, Salman Khan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Ekta Kapoor and Mahesh Bhatt were blamed. But what has escaped popular attention is the toxic family structure of cow-belt India, especially Bihar, and how it treats its precious sons.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s father K.K. Singh’s allegations and his family’s posts should also be put under social and cultural examination. A ‘witch’ and a ‘gold digger’ are routine tags given to women by typical mothers-in-law; and blaming a son’s big-city girlfriend for all that is wrong is how families cope with sons’ autonomy. Not to undermine their grief, but the way the family has reacted says a lot about the burden of being a son in a Bihari family. He has to be no less than a Shravan Kumar all his life.


The son is always a kid  mera laadla

A grown up man is always a kid/baby of these families. His independent choices are frowned down upon, especially if it concerns marriage. If he goes against the family’s traditional decision-making, either his friends’ circles or his girlfriend or wives get blamed. There is hardly any talk about mental health in these families. Even if it is there, it’s always patriarchal in nature. For example, a son/man cannot exhibit emotional weakness and stress. It is seen as some kind of enfeeblement or emasculation. He has to be the perfect version of the ‘adarsh balak’.

Families don’t accept any other version of the son other than the one they create for them. All those people who came out to speak about Sushant’s life hadn’t met him for several years. For them, it was like, ‘we knew him as a happy-go-lucky 10-year-old, how could he become depressed in his late 20s?’ In fact, the actor’s father even said that until he met Rhea Chakraborty, Sushant had no mental health problems. And that his career was flourishing until Rhea walked into his life, and that she even conspired to take away his savings.

Such families have only one view of their son — he is never depressed, never makes mistakes, never gets bullied, and never marries outside the family’s choice.

‘Girlfriend/wife separates the family from the son’

The familiar trope in Bihar is one of a guile-less son who loses his way because of an enchantress.

Short Stories by Rabindra Nath Tagore’, a famous series on Netflix, perfectly explains this theory. Mahendra, a young man, gets married to a charming woman named Asha. He falls in love with her and forgets all his duties towards his widowed mother. Now the mother-in-law sees Asha as a villain who has corrupted Mahendra. Asha is seen as someone who took away her son.

There are many local songs in Bhojpuri that portray Bengali women as villains who trap Bihari men in their charm. They perform black magic on men. A Kajri song, usually sung during the month of Saavan, targets Bengali women as:

piya more gailen calcutta o rama,

bengalin bitiya kai dihali o jadua

tohara ko debo bengalin daal bhari sonwa o rama,

chhod di na hamro sajnawa o rama!

The man has gone to Kolkata where he has fallen in love with a Bengali woman. The family asks the woman to take gold instead and leave the man.

Families that can’t stand ‘girlfriends’

This ‘home breaker’ angle is not limited only to Bihar. North Indian families have a special dislike for girlfriends. The family thinks that the girlfriend has corrupted the son’s mind even if he starts wearing a different coloured t-shirt.

Families don’t approve ‘girlfriends’ who don’t fit into their ‘perfect Bahu’ category. In Sushant Singh Rajput’s case, there was a middle-class Bihari family and a modern Bengali girlfriend. The family lawyer also remarked in a video released by Rhea that she has never worn salwar kameez in her whole life. What does it have to do with criminal charges against Rhea other than showcasing a dislike for her? This detail is present in the FIR too.

This whole episode reminds me of a friend from my college days. He often used to counsel his mother, who lived in a remote district in Bihar, because she felt that her  new daughter-in-law was trying to take her son (my friend’s brother) away from her. My friend could never convince his mother that it’s just that his brother’s priorities have changed in life after getting married.

Moreover, in our society, young boys grow up into men who believe they can have multiple affairs but they will eventually marry within the caste/class/religion/region. Their affairs will be cheered upon as their personal achievements but their decision of marrying a person of their choice will be looked down upon. Invariably, the man’s family will have an upper hand in the marriage.

The familial ‘disconnect’?

Sushant Singh Rajput’s father K.K. Singh claimed in the FIR that Sushant’s interaction with the family was limited in the past year. A family cannot believe that a grown man doesn’t need a woman to tell him about his interaction with the world. A grown man can decide if he wants to distance himself from a toxic environment. Whether it is work, home or love life. In fact, these families even expect the daughter-in-law to carry the burden of being a bridge between them if the son goes truant.

It could have been the other way round as well. What if it was Sushant who didn’t want to talk to the family because of their discomfort with his girlfriend? What if he only wanted to stay with Rhea?

If one goes through his interviews, it’s only his mother that he refers to in the family. He rarely spoke about his family and of his father. On his social media accounts too, Sushant only mentioned his mother. He often said he doesn’t have friends. At the peak of his career, he was planning to go to Nasa and do other things.

Depression is seen as defeat

Depression is perceived as a defeat in these families. And a man, especially from a middle-class family who has made a successful career in Bollywood without a Godfather, can never be accepted as defeated or depressed. Sushant’s sister posted a picture on Instagram and wrote that he was not suffering from depression. His brother-in-law Vishal Kirti wrote a blog, saying that though he lost touch with Sushant a year ago, he still can not believe that he was depressed.

The fact that the family doesn’t want to accept that their son could have been depressed even after his death, shows how little they know about this issue.

Kaala Jaadu?

Sushant’s father has claimed that Sushant wanted to do organic farming in Coorg but Rhea stopped him. That Rhea warned him about his haunted house and forced him to move to another place. That she even took his phone away from him.

This is how the entire country got a right to call Rhea a witch. Bihar’s Janta Dal (United) leader Maheshwari Hazari even called Chakraborty a ‘vishkanya’ who was sent to entrap Sushant in her love.

  1. Really disappointed with The Print for supporting and sporting such a shameful piece of an article, done in such a poor taste that went on to get qualified to be on your website for the million of the viewers to watch. I’ve never seen such toxic journalism before that is targeting the grieving family members. Show some empathy, lady! Just because the article is tagged under ‘POV’; doesn’t mean that such acerbic, demeaning words should be used against the family members. And the title of the article and the contents…my god, Jyoti, doesn’t it scream racism loud and clear, with an attempt to make certain remarks universal to all the families belonging to Bihar? I pity your taste of journalism. Sorry, THE PRINT…as a person who really appreciates good content, you have lost my respect.

  2. Thank god ! thank you for existing and writing this. There finally comes FIRST AND SINGLE voice about the TOXICITY of a Bihari family and how nearly every family has someone suffering with mental issue and how most of them live with a fake makeup idea of a family. Survival in Bihar is tough – bad education, illiteracy, poverty and lack of job but the biggest survival challenge comes from FAMILY ! anyone who is least rational and lived there , knows that !

    Thank you for bringing this to national debate. We own you.

  3. Any way to report this article or this newspaper!! Such a shitty, biased attention garnering piece!! Isi ke lye funding ki bheeekh mangte ho hat article ke niche!! GTH this shitty media house, may you end soon

  4. This is a very skewed article and looks like personal opinion of a lady motivated by some agenda well , can well be funded as well. As Journalists, ethics should be maintained while reporting facts and speculations. This very kind of reporting is similar to Uncles gossiping after retirement on tea stalls but that is okay, it’s harmless but to put an article across young impressionable minds, I doubt why such articles should not be treated as offensive and terrioristic as it is creating impressions without facts. Deeply discouraged by Print in supporting such articles. I thought our literacy rate was well above 50% .. This article shows that even the good 50% is no good

  5. What do you have to say about Shiv Sena trying to cover up the fact that Sushant was prestnt in Aditya’s party, one day before Sushant’s murder and the CBI will summon Aditya and this will ultimately bring down the Shiv Sena government?

  6. ज्योति यादव , ग़ज़ब की गंध लेखक निकली हो | हमको तो लगता है तुमको बिहार और बिहारी संस्कृति के बारे में कुच्छो पता नहीं है फिर भी कुच्छो लिख दी | सैलरी जो मिल रहा उसको तर्कसंगत बनाने की कोशिश कर रही हो का ? सही का साथ दो और गलत से बच के रहो , नहीं तो कल भी कोई नहीं पूछ रहा था और आज वैसे ही गंध फैला दी हो तो आने वाले कल में भी कोई नहीं पूछने वाला |

  7. Are you choosing to ignore the Financial Misappropriation that is evident by ED probe and Rhea’s inability to justify her NETWORTH?

    Be more responsible in showcasing your “opinion”, Omission of important facts, while making your case is not appreciated.

    If you look into the following , you can see why the family and fans are anguished
    1. Rhea’s non co-operation with enquiry and her Reversal of stand for CBI Probe – why she afraid if she is honest?
    2. Ditching him and blocking his number while he was getting threats ? ( sim card changed multiple times during that week)
    3. Alienating family and friends , taking control of finances and medications – there are not signs of a new relationship , people grow into such intimacy after long time. May be they were quick to realised “Made for each other, let’s get married” but given how it ended, raises suspicions on her.
    4. If she is innocent, why she is not COMING CLEAN and declaring her version of the story. What is there to HIDE???

    The family is not being CYNICAL for the sake of it. These are LEGIT concerns of the family who lost their son. Even if there were 4 more brothers, the narrative and events would have been questioned in the same manner. So please read up the FACTS and Be RESPONSIBLE.

    Or you want to make a Click-bait title for more views. Highly disappointed!!!!

  8. I think the author of this article has given the right portrayal of the society of the backward state in india which he has rightly mentioned…Every word of him is correct…Due to this backward shravan kumar mentality the married girls are made choked in their in law homes with ghoonghat,dish washing at 12 am in night,washing clothes ,serving like servants and not complaining .In the same time her husband is working somewhere else outside the cow belt society and no one to listen to support her.No body will question her husband either he does right or wrong because as rightly said by the author he is stamped of being the perfect son by his parents who are themselves born and brought in that backward thinking environment by their ancestors.

  9. You keep reposting the sams article each day on google i have reported you.

    Just to gain traction you are doing that and with what audaicty.

    Everyone report them to google.

  10. How dare you and who are you… to write such a futile article about bihar and bihar… show some sense before you write something on huge platform… we want justice for SSR and yes many people thinkt that Rhea is the first conspirator and she z d real culprit.

  11. Dear Jyoti Yadav and whole Print team,

    I hope and pray from the bottom of my heart that you all marry a person like Rhea Chakraborty since you love supporting her so much. ❤️ I’m sure your life will be happy secluded from your family, your loved ones, your happiness, your jobs and your finances. You can rejoice happily in the medications Rhea gives you. Why are you asking us to support theprint? Go to Rhea so that she can pay you guys with all the money she has stolen from our dear Sushant.

  12. This article proves that how lowly creatures have become journalists. Had SSR family been so typical, at the first hand they would not have allowed their son to go to live-in relationships. And above all they would not have allowed his engineer son who cracked national entrance and was Physics Olympiad national topper to join film industry. The perception of Bihar is so much wrong with this author..she has no clue what Biharis are doing…in fact in her own profession the finest journalists are actually coming from Bihar including Ravish Kumar and Ashutosh. And above all….what is wrong is being Shravan Kumar? They are the idols which every indian should follow…u r not grown to forget your parents. You may be that much thankless but thankfully Biharis r not! Or r u trying to tell us that ignoring parents and family is the new cool definition and social norm and only such people should be respected? This corrupt author expects that SSR family should stop asking for justice …just coz a lady is suspected to be criminal…or some big shot neta in power in maharastra has fed them to write this all crap. One after another articles these guys are publishing with utter crap and useless content. Inf act his article becomes liable of practising open racism and bias against a community with useless allegations and the author and editor must be tried and sent to jail for this. Leave aside giving certificate to Rhea, the conduct of this lady even before public suggests that she is a very well developed criminal mind who goes into underground when police tried to contact her and to take her statement, she asked ED to not appear in case, she has lodged a request in SC to transfer her case from Bihar to Mumbai so that she could Mumbai police could as usual help her…despite of being absconding she was in regular touch with a Mumbai police cop clandestinely….and left the man to die while blocking his phone and looting his money. I seek case on Print Editor and the author who wrote this bullshit.

    • Some people like this “journalist” try to hid there toxic thinking behind some poorly crafted academic arguments.

  13. looks like the author has got a binary view of things. There could be some truth but the incident seems to be a hypothesis of author’s ultra feminist mindset. Her past articles also point in same direction. This looks like a desperate attempt to look different from popular view . She should be taking rational view of the world around her and not overgeneralize her past experiences. The print is a respected platform started by a veteran and respected journalist. I am always for independent but unbiased journalism.

    May god bless you.

  14. Very badly written! Disgusting choice of words. You are sick. May God help you in speedy recovery. You really need help.

  15. This third class paid journalist, it seems is going through severe depression, she urgently needs to see a psychiatrist ..
    what if she suffers from bipolar disorder?
    She is seriously sick… would advice her to get some Quitipins from Pithani!!

    I am a YADAV,
    I am ashamed of JYOTI YADAV
    Aaaak thoooo

  16. Everytime I think media can’t stoop lower than this, I get surprised by these ‘idiots elites’ who have so much wrong in their theorems and tactics.
    We are getting your propaganda The Print!
    This is a desperate attempt of whitewashing Rhea’s image by maligning the image of all Bihari families.
    People are wrong when they blame entire Bengali population for Jaadu totka.
    And,
    People are wrong when they call the every Bihari Family Toxic. And YOU ARE WRONG HERE!
    And don’t come saying you aren’t blaming every Bihari Family because no matter what you say , this article says a lot. And it also says how small your field of observation is. And even smaller is your stereotype about Biharis. Blaming Sushant’s family as Toxic, you are disgracing journalism and justice.
    Shame on you!
    Shame on You The Print!
    #StopBeingHypocritesYouIdiotElites
    #StopHarassingBiharis
    #StopBlamingBiharisForEverything
    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

  17. ArnaB Goswami Rocked.. watch Republic or Times now…..

    Hope Ms. Yadav and Shekhar Gupta Soul Rest in Peace….and then there beloved families may get chance to read any such article.They will enjoy.

  18. Such a pathetic peace of writing. Kindly fire such journalists or else you’ll end up losing faithful readers like me. I just unfollowed print everywhere, request other people to do the same.

  19. Jyoti yadav…You must have been “PAID” to write this “GOBAR”. It appears you hardly understand the family structure and value-system of Gangetic plains. You better start campaigning agency where you can claim to sell any shit. It’s highly an inaccurate, stupid and xenocentric piece of writing.

  20. What nonsense. Even if she wants to take Rhea’s side, the content is utterly nonsensical. She could have made better arguments for Rhea.

  21. How stupid can this person be who has written this article? I don’t know the truth about SSR death so I won’t comment on who is at fault. I am sure the family has enough evidence to file a complaint after nearly a month from his death. They could have blamed Rhea on day one itself going by what is written in this article. Being cultured and civilized they did not want to accuse without evidence. If the girlfriend was the issue then they should have hated Ankita too. This article is just trash, please don’t call it journalism. Writing such trash undermines the pain that the family is going through.

  22. I accept some of your arguments that most of the Indian families are patriarchal and people really don’t accept the issue of mental health. I am also completely against SM trials. But if Reah is truely a woman in his life, he would not probably take this extreme step. She was in a live-in relationship for year going by the media reports and when he is suffering from depression she should not walk out of his home. She should have held his hand strongly. That is not the case here. Your should have introspected that too in your article. The family felt that there is a financial irregularities and that’s why they filed an FIR. In modern times, no family wants to interfere their child’s life even if they see something amiss. But when suicide like thing happens, the family definitely deserve a lot of answers.

    • I disagree with the gross generalization, although I’m painfully aware of Bengali women typecast as seductress in pop-culture of Bihar. However, I agree with the key message- Sushant Singh Rajput was a smart , self-made man who is fully aware of his decisions. If he distanced himself from his family, it was by his own choice. Painting him as a “bechara” who doesn’t have a mind of his own and is controlled by an younger woman is demeaning him. It’s not like he had never been with a girl before or that he was naive. On one hand conspiracy theorists are saying SSR was so smart n talented how could he have mental health issues (right Van Gogh, John Nash, Ludwig Boltzman were all dumb?). On the other hand they are also saying that Rhea took control of his life, she took away his phone(!), bank account, cut him off his family… That just doesn’t make any sense at all.
      Again, if Rhea has siphoned crores worth money that she is being accused of, CBI will find that out, and she will face legal consequences. One can’t do that by sitting in a couch and watching crime thrillers all day and saying that the whole world is conspiring to protect your highness RC.

  23. First of all the writer is herself an idiot who has double standards… Ppl calling Rhea a witch because she is a Bengali is wrong, but so is you calling the entire Bihar wrong. Patriarchy exists not just in india but on many parts of the world…not just in middle class but majorly in high class societies…
    Also don’t forget the fact that a middle class bihari boy left his education and went on to be an actor… Would it be possible if the family was narrow minded…
    Also it doesnt matter what the family thinks of the girlfriend… What matters is the truth.. What happened when she came into his life… What was the reason for his mental illness, why couldn’t she try her best to avoid what happened…
    After all, we have seen thousands of people best depression with the support of lived ones who constantly stock by their side… Where was the girlfriend at that time….
    If blaming her his wrong… Then so is blaming his family who had raised an independent man… This article is just a biased stupid ranting by a lame writer with preconceived thoughts…
    It’s no less than the cheap news channels using the situation for their benefits

    • So true!! What an idiotic article. No explanation as to why Rhea had to change all his staff, his changing sim cards, financial irregularities after she entered his life.
      And ofcourse by personal experience I know that we tend to post and talk more about tje parent we have lost. However, Sushant did mention time and agaim that he has learned through his father that you can learn a lot of things. He always said that the person he felt closest to was his sister Priyanka.
      This is just an ill-informed piece of shit article trying to defame the family and their fight for justice, in the name of societal traditions.

    • Absolutely right.
      The writer of this article appears to be safeguarding Rhea Chakraborty for the reasons best known to him only.
      Now a days, no family expects his son to be a Shravan Kumar as alleged.
      The parents just want the kids to live a happy life. Love marriage is widely accepted in our society., though live-in relationship is not considered good but parents tolarate it if they find the things going on well.
      In instant case, Rhea Chakraborty is a real villain.
      She used Sushant for extorting money only and the evidence show that she joined hands with the killers also.

  24. Paid stooges- it should be criminal to write such nonsense articles. Defaming a family and a place for some pennies. True example of disgusting journalism.

  25. Hi Jyoti, and the fact that you can conveniently tag the family as “cow belt” dwellers is ok? Yes, any sane person can distance themselves from toxicity ONLY if they are not been drugged 18hours a day, and everything you have said about men having multiple affairs and settling for the ideal bahu, holds equally true for women as well so lets not make this a gender issue questioning the social fabric of the hinterland. If anything the social fabric is slightly better than the misplaced, glamourised, detached, and lost social fabric of the tinsel town / urban India. I am not denying the issues that exist and age old biases that need to change but to say that it is unique to what you refer as ‘cow belt’ is not only misinformed but has NOTHING to do with Sushant’s case. His family is questioning the sequence of events based on facts and the tell tale signs. It is not right to call the girl names or tag an entire community but when there is public outrage, being politically correct takes a back seat. I find your article insensitive, blinded by your own biases and completely ignoring glaring facts. Expected better from someone working at The Print, a platform I have grown to admire and respect immensely for your impartial views. Disappointed.

  26. Nobody knows the cause of SSRs deaths and whether anyone is to be blamed for it at all. Only the police, the investigation agencies and the judiciary can make that decision. And just like Rhea Chakraborty could very well be a victim of the media court, the author of this article has also mindlessly blamed the family for his death. How different is this article from other media, except that the writer chose to vouch for the other side??

    More so she uses this case to shame the whole of Bihar and North India. The worst a journalist can do!

    I have personally no opinion or knowledge in matter of SSR death case. But I do know that this kind of journalism is a product of prejudiced and a hypocritical so- called modern India which chooses to promote the content that pleases a certain section of the society than say the truth!

  27. The disclaimer that you have put at the end, Viws are personal, is the only thing right about this article. Your views are derogatory and rudimentary. And this kind of journalism and so called ‘journalists ‘should never be supported.
    You bring toxicity in life of millions. You bring a sense of vengeance in them by writing such shit piece.
    Get a life and go start with the basics again..Go learn ABCD like a3 year old because this article shows your brain is still in developmental phase, MAAM

  28. Shame on you for writing such nonsense article and I will pray to God for your early recovery.May God give you insight to look upon your work and take corrective steps.

  29. What a disgusting and venomous article!!!!!! Left such a bad taste. In the name of journalism how can u be so irresponsible. Absolutely no facts related to the case just the mere imagination of the writer. Journalism is about looking into evidence, facts and then reporting it not sharing what u just believe without any evidence.

    And moreover ‘print’ asks for support of their journalism. If u need support for writing such absurd and venomous article attacking an entire State of our country u need to be ashamed of urself.

  30. Hello Print,

    I always thought your journalism was different. Used to follow your reporting but this one article has changed it all. I don’t think I am coming back to read any articles from now on. What a disgraceful article and how did it even pass through your editors !!! Ms. Yadav seems to have a very good understanding of North Indians and Biharis….she can keep writing some more articles like this and make ThePrint history…atleast it has successfully driven me and my friends away from your site and YouTube channel

  31. Mr. Shekhar Gupta,
    I’m appalled to see this article especially after you did the dirty picture episode on print. Certainly count me out as your donation friend. In cut the clutter you say your audience is very smart and here you dish out such a propaganda opinion. Feels a bit betrayed since I only followed you as my go to man.
    You proved that you’re just a stooge. Please let your masters know, the more you push this beautiful narrative of the author, Indian public has seen the B.S. and is calling out. You know the power of Indian public. If you want your loyal base to stay with you, I’ll look forward to a cut the clutter edition of Mumbai police botched up investigations and cbi affair. Let’s see if you can come out.
    Definitely lot of clutter is there in my mind to be your loyal viewer.

    • I agree. I was big fan and thought some new channel is coming and doing real journalism. but an article like this makes me rethink of all the donations I made to print. Mr.Gupta, we need an apology from print for printing such a shameful article.

  32. Mr. Shekhar Gupta,
    I have consistently donated your channel with my modest income just because I believed in your seemingly unbiased analysis of cut the clutter , national interest and one thing you always said that your audience is very smart. Why did you let this article publish? Do you not care for my money at all. The author of this article clearly thinks audience is foolish. You have proved you are nothing but a stooge. Please tell your masters, the more they try to rebuild public perception the worse it will get for them.
    Please understand the country has changed, people have changed. We may have lot of problems but we the people will make politicians, media and judiciary work for justice. You lost my respect today.

  33. How shameful of you to write an article like this. Seems like you’ve chosen your career/money over honesty. What’s the difference between you and Rhea? Might as well join hands with her to get paid millions.

  34. Jyoti Yadav a.k.a THE JOURNALIST OF THEPRINT.IN,

    If you are true to your profession then read the 780 comments you have for your stupid ass sexist blame that you put on the bereaving family. Sushant had girlfrends before and guess what they are supporting him and his family except for 1 GIRL , Who is the major reason why he is not here today – RHEA.
    Your SHRAVAN KUMAR Comparison proves your Convenient siding with the accused.
    Sushant’s family has 4 daughters . This is not about SHRAVAN KUMAR . This is about Asskissing Women who is part of the Clan and will do anything ( I literally mean ANYTHING) to get what they want in Bollywood, High lifestyle, Name and Fame. Its a WAR against the Woman who Screwed SSR’s life .
    Please go teach your journalism to someone else because Here you sound like an Idiotbox that sings songs those are irrelevant to the matter in question and still call themselves Journos… Get some lessons from ARNAB atleast 1 or 2 to get real.
    Unfortunate Print.in and Unfortunate you. Maybe someday when you lose , you ‘ ll realize what you did to the ones who lost SSR.
    I am a Woman but for a conduct you and your Fake Feminists have put out here to blame the family, I have problems. !!!!!

  35. Disgusting article. Pathetic journalism. Pls improve your research field, topic and content. Blocking ‘ThePrint’ forever now for promoting such content.

  36. Cowbelt? Let me stoop to your level and tell you that Yadav are the ones known to rear cows and buffaloes. One was Laloo Yadav who broke bihar’s economy and now another Yadav comes with her toxic Buffalo dung.

  37. Rhea has bought this newspaper with Sushant’s money and now is using his own money against his family. Lets all start a movement to ban this newspaper for spreading lies about Sushant’s family. Imagine what his 74 year old father must be going through. The family got along with Ankita Lokhande even though she was a big city girlfriend. Please boycott this newspaper if you support Sushant.

  38. Utter nonsense this article is.. are you even following the other side of the story before writing such shitty article..how much you were paid for this nonsense.. truth will come out.. I so wish you had been true to your profession… I just wish god to give you sanity

  39. Toxic journalism….Jyoti Yadav you should not call yourself a journalist ! This is such a distasteful false misleading baseless article..”his middle class Bihari family could not stand his modern Bengali girlfriend” …wow! In the name of feminism you cannot malign an entire community, you are sick

  40. Shame on the journalist who wrote this article. I wonder where the journalist got her degree from. Its shocking that her deplorable article was allowed to print,

  41. This has to be the most embarrassingly shoddy piece of so called journalism I’ve read in a while. There are no facts, only conjecture of the most self indulgent kind. A miffed child on a rant about God knows What.
    What a waste of time.

  42. This is the kind of journalism today. You’re blaming a community as a whole which is pathetic, I have friends who come from Bihar and have witnessed how their families treat their girlfriends. Moreover, if an FIR is lodged against someone and the CBI has taken over the case I’m sure their must have been evidences, don’t you think ? Allegations are made and we too trust the judicial system so let’s wait and watch; and people like you instead of making it a community think should do some real journalism, There’s more issues in the country like employees losing their jobs or people having nothing to eat so why don’t you write over it and if that doesn’t seem interesting then go for writing how cute Taimur looks now ! Just an opinion !!

  43. Very disappointed with Print. I didn’t expect such a low grade article at Print. Unbiased journalism much? Far from it! You can do much better than this, Print.
