After it launched with the name Pavitra Rishta Fund, the fans of Sushant have come down heavily on Ekta Kapoor for using his name for the initiative. They have questioned her how she came to the conclusion that he died by suicide when the investigation is still on.

They are attacking her using the hash tag - #ShameOnEktaKapoor. Check out a few angry tweets of Sushant fans.

"I was happy to be a part of this initiative. People think mental illness is a rich man's issue. I want this to reach the common man, housewives and the people in our industry too. We will help people get access to mental health facilities. I am happy a 'corporate' like ZEE5 is getting into this fight against mental health in a big way," Ekta Kapoor said earlier while talking about the initiative.

Sushant came to limelight with daily soap Pavitra Rishta produced by Ekta Kapoor. 

Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide on 14 June. The actor was undergoing treatment for mental health issues before his death. It was believed that he decided to kill himself due to depression.
