Kangana’s statements, considering the kind of reach that she has, are problematic for two reasons. First, it stigmatises mental illness. Secondly, in the video, Kangana has contorted Sushant’s death through the nepotism gaze. The Judgementall Hai Kya actor has been vocal about her stance on the issue for a LONG time now but is it fair of her to piggyback on the sudden demise of a person to further her own agenda? There’s literally zero clarity on why Sushant decided to take his own life, so how exactly can Kangana claim to know?

Around the same time, two video snippets from Koffee With Karan went viral, once again, for all the wrong reasons. One featuring Alia Bhatt and the other featuring Sonam Kapoor. Now, I live on Twitter, so I have some understanding of herd mentality that exists on the bird app. But this one baffled even me.
