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. This article and the author is shitty and toxic. Just tell us who has paid you to publish such shit ? The family’s claims are not unfounded and everyone knows there are loopholes. All that all of his fans want is closure which is nowhere in sight and everyone can see this botched up investigation. Just please do us a favour and stop writing and spare us shitty journalism Jyoti Yadav , will you!

  2. I want to know from our expert readers whether Sushant’s death was by suicide due to nepotism or murder by rhea. if its murder by rhea pls leave bollywood alone, and if its suicide due to nepotism pls leave rhea alone. whats with the witchunt. any way the matter is subjudice why are we calling rhea names just for the heck of it

  3. The author contradicts herself. On one side she tells us not to engage in stereotyping Bengali women, and accept Clinical depression as a medical condition objectively, while on the other side, goes on to conclude that Sushant’s family was a so-called typical Bihari family and a typical middle class family. This is also an undue criticism of an social class or community, which she herself tries to be a critic of.

  4. Very harsh comments for the author. Typical of people that have watched 12 Angry Men. Anyway, nice analysis by author. We cant say it would be 100 percent true but who can ever say anything with surety in this world. Keep up the good work of thinking beyond obvious. Herd mentality needs some respite, and you did with your analysis. As for family grief and love, lucky are those that get the much needed help from families when they go through struggles like mental illnesses, job losses, heart losses or confusions in life. I pity those people, whose family only come to pronounce how happy they are when they see world going gaga over their child. Seriously sometime I want to say cheers to Rhea for handling a person going through confusing phase of life. But I wont cheer her since we really dont know what happened or has been happening in Sushant’s personal/emotional life not the glorious life his family & friends share with his followers all the time. Hope to see justice for the dead soul. Thanks & love to the author.

    • “Nice analysis by author”. Really. Have you read a book in your life. Stereotyping without looking into the intricacies of the situation is analysis. I am sure your have a higher IQ than that german scientist. What was he called? Yes, Einstein.

      This happens when stupid and toxic people get power of pen

  5. Such a piece of shit! Non sensical article ! Might have been true somewhere ,but definitely not here. How can you say something like that when Ankita, Sushant’s ex- girlfriend of 6years was in touch with his family even after their break-up. This is plain slandering. A defamation case should be lodged against Jyoti Yadav and the Print. As a society, a lot of us ( like the writer here) have lost our humanity and conscience. And if you could sense the direction and the strength of the wind, you wouldn’t have written this shit without any facts and with pure intention of maligning an already distraught family. Such a shame! I only read a paragraph and my blood boiled. Shame! Shame! Shame!

  6. The Print is gone to the dogs. Who will support such journalism. Its time for “The Prtint” to close your shop and stay at home. Journalism is not your cup of tea if you have hired “bikau” journalists like Jyoti Yadav.

  7. Its hard to believe that no arrest has been made yet. Cops should take that bitch for interrogation and use 3rd degree or any possible method to know the truth. If it won’t happen in next few weeks they all will fly out from India and it will be very hard to prosecute them. At least all the suspects should be in high surveillance and passports should forfeit by court.

  8. Please get your facts right before you pursue any kind of journalism! It can clearly be seen that you are biased in what you write about. Please do justice atleast to your own profession, let alone Sushant Singh Rajput. Your “print” is highly misleading for people who may have just started hearing for the first time about who SSR is and what happened to him. This piece of news is not the truth. Please refer to more creditable newspapers like The Times of India for factual information and some inspiration, if I may, to understand what truth actually looks like.

    • I had high regards for Shekhar Gupta. But this article has proved Print is no better than the Lutyens. Such biased journalism can come out of Print is shameful for its editor in chief. Jyoti Yadav seems to be a trash journalist.

    • Shame on Shekhar Gupta the editor in chief to even allow this trash journalism from his platform. Print is no better than the Lutyens journalists

  9. This woman has been bought out by shiv sena and cronies. It’s an open secret that the media is a pawn for these merciless politicians. Someone should ask this writer how would she react if this was her brother? This is the same type of person who was an obstacle in the nirbhaya case and now this b&@$h is trying to bring in the woman angle. NO – this is a criminal case and needs a criminal investigation and btw since your entire argument is already prejudging that Rhea is innocent even when the BOMBAY police screwed up the fake investigation how come she is silent when Sanjay Raut and Sharad Pawar are mercilessly attacking his family? What is Sanjay Raut hiding? The shiv sena ordered tampering of evidence. Open and shut case. These hooligans have been aggressive and scared the public for too long. That time in history is over. The people of this country will revolt and we will topple these politicians now.

  10. Good article.. Ignore the negative comments.. I support. People think they know everything abt SSR. In India, pll always think allegations are considered as convictions. (Talwars!). Just don’t want to wait till ANY truth comes out. We hv full history abt it. Then ur counter attack is justified to protect the healthy journalism when jingoism is the mainstream journalism.
    Btw, why call it cow belt.? Find more suitable word!

    • Okay, You are saying about the history of journalism. About media trials. But how is this article different? She made allegations not only on Sushant’s father. But all the cow belt. Specially Bihar. How can this be justified?

      • I believe her anger is visible using derogatory word.
        What I think, is Ultimately, if it is right now Rhea, next may be anyone. Just accuse anyone & done!
        Point is nothing can be hidden in electronics age. Wait for the truth to come out. And suicide or mental disorder or errors happen in life, it’s fact. Can’t say ki why one did it as no reason seems to do so, kisi ne karvai hogi.
        If, SSR was intellectual person in our view, then why to defame him of being lallu pappu ki koi bhi aake use bewakuf bana jaye.
        Maintain dignity of dead & alive !

  11. I am a married Bihari, i have friends in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Bihar, and relatives in Delhi, Maharashtra, Bihar, Andhra, M.P., Jharkhand, i mean all over. And believe me, i have heard women being backbitten and experienced all that you have written. This whole belief is Indian, and perhaps in more than half of the Indian families, specially in north India. So let anyone say anything in the comments, I agree with what your above articles have to say.

  12. Oh look at the twitterati take over, claim to have all the details of the case and pounce on the writer. The article is clearly written under the opinion section and look at some of you call it garbage journalism. The author is sharing her opinion and you all call it garbage but are quick to share your opinions and expect people to accept your opinion? It’s worth understanding what rights one has when living in a free democratic society. In addition, if the article made you cringe it’s worth asking yourself how can you help be a part of the change within society as opposed to going after an individual who is merely lifting up a mirror to society. We have too many arm chair civil and social experts nowadays who hide behind a keyboard and jump to take down every individual’s work. It’s more reflective of your need for attention than anything else.
    Jyoti- this is a well constructed argument and one to ponder about. No one knows what the truth is and you raise some very arguments. Dnt let these trolls get to you. They accuse folks of bullying SSR and when someone doesn’t agree with their viewpoint they literally bully the individuals, hypocracy at its finest.
    P.S I’ll be accused of being a fake account or even the journalist posting to defend the article. For the record, I’m an independent thinking Indian citizen and for the sake of mental sanity would prefer to use an alias when sharing this post.

    • My uncle paid you to write this comment as far as I recall! You should ask for more money for writing in so much detail.

  13. What a sorry state of affair the writer is, she is trying to sound intelligent behind her falsified arguments . Every girl in India is not called what Rhea is called. It seems you are far departed from the truth and trying to compare Rhea with Ravindranath Tagore’s characters is quite hilarious in a way that makes my mouth sour of the toxic taste of your whimsical comparison. All that English is waste — if your thoughts are garbage. You seem to be the only dumb person to consider all the investigations and the evidences against Rhea as something limited to the “ladla” and “laadli”issues !! So when a women does a crime/ is party to it, you find the time to bring up issues of sexism and gender bias in the Indian society— and you have been sleeping all this while? I am tempted to say that you need a life. Please get some perspective , I hope your problems in approaches in a tragic tale as this, is just limited to Sushant and Rhea, or else I am assuming your mind is in hopeless state and needs a rebirth.

  14. If you guys cannot support the grieving family then do a favour on us and pleas keep your mouth shut. Misleading your readers by writing such derogatory articles doesn’t make you guys “good journalists” and hence yoh saved me from donating money to you guys for your so called this “Good journalism”.
    SG you are no different from Rajdeep or Barkha…..

  15. This is so baseless! How do explain them tolerating Ankita for 7 years then? She is on good terms with them post their breakup also. Please stop generalising and spewing garbage just because you have a pen in your hand. And why just Bihar, you can say that about several families in India but don’t say this to support the accused and make the grieving family look bad!

    • You seem to be taking the case to another tangent! This is a murder case. not lets defend Rhea and blame the family who lost the son!!! Oh you must be the ‘friendly media’ … Good luck with the false agenda.

  16. You seem to be miles away from whatever is happening… ED didn’t call Rhea because of his conservative Bihari family…They are not free looser like you… They are putting so much effort and their precious time because they can see what Rhea has been doing… Paying for expenses of your girlfriends’ s family is not wrong but your girlfriend should not be hiding the details when you are gone…..
    Shitty people… Shitty Journalism…. #CBIFORSUSHANT

  17. To think I had started to trust print as an unbiased news source ! I even paid for the so called “good Journalism” based on SG’s asking viewers . But I guess you guys are also being paid loads of money from the “bollywood biggies” and your viewers contribution means absolutely nothing . My mistake . Didnt know that you guys were sell outs too . Only I was a fool.

  18. Very sorry to hear Jyoti what happened to you! I can imagine what you or your women in ur family has gone thru due to such a social upbringing!
    Hope you do not mete out the same treatment to your daughter in law..
    But this is not applicable to Sushant as his family is educated and much outside such cave-age!

  19. The most biased, ill informed, stereotype promoting piece of filth I have come across in recent times. Feel pity for you. Assume this is what you must have experienced first hand with your family. I wonder who the hell allowed this to be printed.

    • Totally agree. print opinions and and articles relating to Indian way if life and Sushanth has been always derogatory .

    • Totally agree. print opinions and and articles relating to Indian way if life and Sushanth has been always derogatory .

  20. Jyoti Yadav, if you consider yourself as journalist, then leave journalism because people don’t want to listen or read your irrelevant, judge-mental, racist, inappropriate views on Sushant Singh and its family. This fight is for righteousness and justice. It doesn’t matter from which caste or state a person is. Stop pointing out to people of Bihar. Before raising a finger to anyone, I am asking you – what is your personal agenda over here?? By doing this, you are on the side of culprits/criminals and karma will come back to you too. Watch out your mouth before spewing the poisonous words because one day the same poison will harm you. Infact, police complaint should be filed against you for spreading false and derogatory information.

    • These people should leave journalism,someone will die in their family by some influencial people then they will realise.
      Shame on you guys calling anyone from a toxic bihari family.
      Who are you to called such things.
      I will pray that God should be punish you all.

    • The shrawan Kumar that you are talking about in this article has died ! He had DIED mysteriously ! The family open up after his death to know what went behind his death ! Your low cognitive capability to reduce this situation to a mother in law daughter in law tiff just goes is extremely narrow minded , judgemental and objectionable ! Hope your future daughter in law doesn’t fall prey to your judgemental attitude !

    • Ms. Jyoti Yadav – you just made sweeping comments without any evidence whatsoever. So what I’d now like from you is some clarification on whether you received any reimbursement from Rhea or Shiv Sena/NCP/Congress for this “hit piece”. Your response please?

  21. Coming from a bihari middle class family who is married to a non-bihari city girl I can just say that “this article is utter bullshit”

  22. *Hahaaha……what a pathetic article big shame on your journalism Jyoti Yadav how much being paid to you by Rhea or shiv sena above mentioned each comment is a tight slap on your face…..*

  23. I pity on you and i don’t know how does even the cheif editor of this page approve such posts. Such a derogative piece it is and so obnoxious. Certaily this lady deals with real shitty people and that’s why her intelligence remained at bottom. May God bless with some enlightenment. She needs this badly. And one more thing, i used to follow this page for reliable updates but it has now turned into people’s PR team to serve their personal propaganda. I am unfollowing this page otherwise my mindset may stoop this low.

  24. SG, I am so disappointed with this article. I was so happy with ThePrint until i read this, i thought you were a centrist unlike Barkha, Rajdeep or Arnab. Wanted to donate to ThePrint as i thought finally somebody is giving us some good content which is neither left or right. But, people cannot hide their true colors for too long. You are in the. same clan as Barkha and Rajdeep. You were just pretending all these days. Just because Arnab is supporting SSR, doesn’t mean that all the left wing loons have to slander SSR and his family. Doesn’t make any sense at all. Anyway you saved me some money. Thanks

  25. I have not read such a FAALTU,idiotic,disgusting post ever. And one second! Wasn’t Ankita Lokhande a big-city actress girlfriend of their son too? Then why they treat her like a family member? Let’s accept for a while they are accusing Rhea Chakraborty wrongly. But what about the findings made by Bihar Police,ED or CBI? Did Sushant’s family call her “witch”,” Gold-digger”? Stop putting feminism everywhere. There is something called justice. Yes she isn’t proven guilty yet,but again she isn’t acquitted from the charges.If he was Shravan Kumar to his family wasn’t he an ATM card for Rhea? How can she afford such an expensive lawyer(10lacs/hearing) and that lifestyle with that 12lacs per annum income of her? If she has some other sources of income other than Sushant why isn’t she revealing it?

  26. If the Bihari guy is living with a Bengali girl ur article might work. If Bihari is dead and gone under confined circumstances, and will never come back, his family would question, cops would question, fans would question. It requires common sense to know this. Well tried though ,to fit ur patriarchal, Bihari, Bengali theories.

  27. This journalist she thinks she knows everything and she witnessed the truth behind Sushants death and knows every details about sushants family how they are and what they are. Even she knows rhea pretty well. This is not about bihari family it is being uneducated Indian who gives taboo to everything without knowing the life of others. I doubt her education and her environment. A educated person can never use the taboo like bihari family. I am not a Bihari but I can say toxic people exist everywhere in every communities. She just can’t give it a tag for every bihari families. This journal is getting bakwas day by day.

  28. Darling, you need to do more exhaustive research than this, better read Vishal Kirti’s reply in his blog, he has better writing skills than you have demonstrated. “A bihari friend of mine”, thats your research ? Your research is not only lame, its lazy and toxic. Maybe “The Print” should hire Vishal, he sounds more well read and balanceed in his writing than you do. Moreover, starting your article with words like “cow belt states”, this plainly suggests that you are biased to the core, hence your writing has no credibility. You should apologise to the family that you know nothing about but are taking the liberty to stereotype.

  29. Darling if you understand Bihar from one or two of your friends then you definitely need to expand your circle or better still, visit the state. You have no right to impose your stereotypical views on a family you know nothing about. Vishal Kirti has given an apt response to you in his blog. Better read that, it’s a tight slap on your disgraceful article.

  30. Most shittiest article to support the criminals of country. Baseless and pointless points. Extremely disappointed to read and see. Such a shame on journalism. You have been writing and supporting Rhea left right and center. Enough politics has been played. Think before you write such pieces. We are Indians and not divided by states, such shitty thinking.

  31. I am from bihar. I got married in a himachali family. My parents always supported me, rather my husbands parents are conservative and they never wanted to understand their son. My parents always supported my brother, even when his girlfriend left him and he was in depression. So, this journalist has written a bullshit about bihar n biharis. Conservative minded parents kahin bhi ho sakte hain, himachal punjab ho, chahe mumbai ho. Kahin bhi you duffer criminal supporter. Bloody Hypocrat

  32. Very well written article. These kinda articles are the reason why I don’t give a damn about sociopolitical scenario of India, specifically the attitude and mindset towards a specific state of the so-called elites from metropolitan cities of India.

    Anything and everything that people say about Bihar and Bihari is more true about their own locality and the state in which their state is in. Great article! It helped me with my apathy for India and so-called elites and their pathetic state even more.

  33. It’s funny how we have normalised this behaviour in the name of culture although most of us have been affected by this. Rightly pointed out by Ms. Jyoti. Great article.

  34. The world has realized that terr’ism is actually J’had. J’hadis will run helter-skelter, and the pseudo-J’hadis better run as well. Anyways, you don’t have much time left.

  35. This is excellent understanding of Indian society. I belong to a Punjabi family, and it is not very different from what you have explained.
    The burden of being Shravan Kumar is too much, especially when parents are stuck in previous world, and we want to taste success in modern world.
    Ignore negative comments. These are people who dont understand depression, and are not reading your article rationally.

  36. Did not expect such a monologue from The Print. While all the harsh comments on the suspect is not the good sign of a progressive society, the underlying and strong sentiment of the public, that also in quite some days after the incident /investigation is not to be looked out upon.

    The Shrawan Kumar theory is quite baseless but, does grab attention and makes momentary sense, but, the writer has gone way overboard. If the allegations were just for monetary misconduct, it was just okay, but, here is the matter of life and death.
    Please have team reviewers before publishing, your article is not a social media post, you are responsible!

    How would you explain his post dedicated to his sister and brother-in-law?
    You are supposed to lead us with a batter mind than ours, this made me feel like your mind is well formed than an average person.

    I will see how you report the ongoing of this case.

    If Rhea is proven guilty , I will look how/what you will write!

  37. Being a free speech advocate, I stand by your right of saying what you have said.

    I would also use my own free speech to state that this personal opinion of yours is rubbish.

    Carefully think before maligning an entire community, especially one which already suffers discrimination across the country, about which people already have negative pre conceived notions.

    As if enduring ‘ e bihari’ or ‘ bihari hai kya’ , on a daily basis was not enough, I now also have to defend my parents, my society and culture and my ” cow belt” at work.

    To point out the shortcomings in a society is one thing, but to be inconsiderate and condescending while doing so is not responsible journalism.

  38. This article is a disgrace. How much were you paid by to paint a rosy picture of this gold digger and biggest manipulator?? I have not read a more toxic article in my life! So you’re actually glorifying the dastardly act ? This article is pure paid media. Shameful absolutely.

  39. Bihari family of sushant is not only saying that he was not depressed. Ankita Lokhande, his old staff, his co-actors, directors also says that he cannot be depressed. Don’t blame or generalize any state culture. I also married bihari boy and our love was accepted with an open heart in his family… Your opinion is totally biased and useless. It is a case of a pure gentleman who was got killed and all his fans want to know what is the real cause. Shameful article cum journalism.

  40. Jyoti Yadav better apologizes for whatever you have said. You are a journalist and you have the right to write but only based on your research. One more thing Jyoti Yadav, try and imagine once if it would have been your son in place of SSR, so would you have written all this?

    Also, there is a news Rhea Chakraborty was looking for a paid publication who would try and improve her image in the country through there publication. I wonder was “The Print” contacted and was the task assigned to you?

  41. This poor girl is trying to earn a living by monetising someone’s death. Let her be.
    Jokes apart, this is the most cringeworthy article of 2020. It is so distasteful that it just makes me wanna barf on this ‘writer’s’ face. This ‘journalist’ clearly has supremely low standard of ethics, sub par emotional intelligence and wants to put a feministic spin on a superstar’s death. Research some? You can look at Sushant’s interviews where he unfailingly talks about his sisters and the bond they share. Stop crapping

  42. This is the most irresponsible and stupidest piece of shit i have ever read . She just goes on blaming , and spreading her narrow mindset .Coming from such a reputed news outlet , these article should atleast be pear reviewed before coming out , not expected from The Print. This article is just giving bad name to the The Print and the brilliant journalism of Shekhar Gupta . Making assumptions without any Hard Facts is not Journalism , Baselessly pointing fingers will not.

  43. You should have sold this as your personal story. You need to see some psychiatrists. Ohh, probably you should take your mom and dad first

  44. Kitne paise liye behen tune ye bakwasiyan pelne ke???? He could be your brother too.. tum jaise bikau logonki wajah se ye case itna ulja hua h… Rhea ki Rheality jis din bahar aayegi uss din baat karo tum… u brainless bikau journalist..b
