New Delhi: Two days after attending Sushant Singh Rajput’s funeral, actress Kriti Sanon has lashed out at the media and at trolls who sent her hate messages for not immediately posting a tribute to her Raabta co-star on social media.
Kriti wrote in a long note that social media has become a toxic place where people only like to pretend to care. “It’s strange that the otherwise trolling, gossiping world suddenly wakes up to your niceness and positive side once you are gone.. Social media is the FAKEST, most toxic place.. and if you haven’t posted RIP or said something publicly, you are considered not to be grieving, when in reality, those are the people grieving for REAL. It seems Social Media is the new ‘Real’ world.. and the Real world has become ‘Fake’,” she wrote.

“Banging the car window and saying madam sheesha neeche karo na to get a clearer picture of someone going for a funeral. Funeral is a very private and personal affair. Let’s put humanity before our profession,” Kriti Sanon wrote in her post. There should be rules for journalists, she added. “Someone should define what’s acceptable, what’s not, what falls under journalism, and what comes under none of your business and live and let live.”
Kriti also emphasised on the importance of talking about the issues that’ bother us, and being able to cry when needed, as opposed to idea of always putting up a strong front. She wrote, “We need to stop phrases like ‘ladke nahi rote’, ‘aise nahi rote’, don’t cry, be strong’.. Crying is not a sign of weakness.. so cry your heart out, scream if you need to, know everything that you are feeling, its ok to not be ok, but talk it out with the one you feel might understand.”
Kriti added that the ‘blind’, uncorroborated items in the media should be banned as they lead to mental harassment.
Sushant was reportedly depressed and died by suicide on Sunday. He was 34.
