People are blaming Salman Khan and Karan Johar for allegedly running a ‘nepotism gang’ and negatively influencing a person’s career. In fact, news about big banners of the industry banning Sushant was also doing the rounds after the actor’s death.
After the said incident, the 34-year-old’s fans and supporters in Patna, Bihar staged a protest march and burned the effigies of Bollywood’s big names amid the coronavirus pandemic.
A video from Bihar is also circulating on the internet where angry protesters demanded a store owner to remove Salman Khan’s poster from his Being Human outlet.
