How easily Masand character assassinated him and termed Sushant Singh Rajput as a ‘skirt-chaser’. The ‘pampered’ female co-star would quite possibly be Sara Ali Khan, who was born with the Bollywood spoon in her mouth. In 2017, Rajput and Kapoor teamed up again for Kedarnath.

You see, Sushant Singh Rajput’s debut movie was Kai Po Che! directed by Abhishek Kapoor. Many believe this, too, is about was about Sushant Singh Rajput. Some have even said the actress’ mother is keeping a close eye on him, mindful of his skirt-chaser reputation. The actor is also apparently not thrilled that the crew pampers his female co-star more than him. Word from the set is that he is getting on the nerves of his director, who is trying his best not to pop a blood vessel. The actor, who is coming off a big dud, likes to give the impression that he’s all calm and Zen-like, but the crew on the new project says he’s consumed by insecurity. In September 2017, in a blind item titled ‘Consumed by Insecurity’, Masand wrote (emphasis added):Ī young male actor, recently reunited with his mentor, is reportedly giving the unit of his new film a hard time during an outdoor shoot. That will be pure gossip, no names given but ample hints on who that person could be. Along with 2 regular Bollywood updates, where he names the actors and actresses while showering praises on them or being critical (though cushioned), Masand will add 1 small ‘blind’. Masand writes cinema column in print and digital magazine, Open Magazine. That made us dig a bit deeper and what we found left us dumbfounded. But the effort to stop toxic people like KRK is genuine too. I am very upset to read the blind items by Rajeev Masand in your tweet & I support you inĬalling him out. It is hypocrisy to selectively call out journalists who hurt innocent talents with slander. ‘Blinds’ are news items where unverified information (read gossip) is passed off without naming anyone but giving ample hints about the person in question.īollywood actor Manoj Bajpayee and Filmmaker Apurva Asrani on Monday took to Twitter to share the terrible things Masand wrote and passed off as Bollywood gossip. Prominent film journalists and critics were also accused of writing vile ‘blinds’. While the case is still under investigation, and even as his relatives suspect foul play, one of the more prominent theories have been he was bullied by the brat packs of the film industry. In light of Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide last month, many theories had emerged.

Whether it is their own insecurities which turn them into bullies, we shall never know, but the gossip-mongers seldom realise the psychological effect their mean comments can have on their targets.

The bullies, too, think they are being cool by being mean to people over the Internet. The mean comments, which under normal circumstances would amount to bullying, get swept under the carpet because, ‘oh, it is only Bollywood,’ or ‘oh, it is only social media’. And while it is prevalent everywhere, when this gossip makes way into mainstream publications and social media with a very sly and passive-aggressive reference, it could be quite tormenting. But his most prominent role came as cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the biopic- “MS Dhoni: The Untold Story”.Everyone loves to gossip. Rajput starred in films such as “Shuddh Desi Romance”, “Raabta”, “Kedarnath” and “Sonchiriya”. The “Chhichore” actor, 34, was found hanging at his apartment in Mumbai on June 14. They include director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, filmmaker and Yash Raj Films (YRF) chairman Aditya Chopra and film critic Rajeev Masand. “Summons has also been sent to actor Kangana Ranaut, asking her to record her statement,” the minister said.Īfter Rajput’s suicide at his apartment in Mumbai last month, Ranaut had lashed out at nepotism and cartels in Bollywood, alleging that he was its victim.Īccording to police, Ranaut is currently in Manali.ĭeshmukh said that police have so far recorded statements of 37 people in connection with the case.
