Many stars including Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar had taken to social media to process the loss and express their grief. However, social media is unforgiving, netizens slammed the industry for nepotism.

A lot has been speculated about why the young star took the drastic step. A tweet emerged suggesting that the big Bollywood producers had banned the star, and had not cared for him or looked out for him.
