    "I have felt at times like you may have needed people to share your life with...but somehow I never followed up on that feeling... will never make that mistake again," he penned, adding "will miss your infectious smile and your bear hug."

    Here is Karan's post

  • I blame myself for not being in touch with you for the past year..... I have felt at times like you may have needed people to share your life with...but somehow I never followed up on that feeling...will never make that mistake again...we live in very energetic and noisy but still very isolated times ...some of us succumb to these silences and go within...we need to not just make relationships but also constantly nurture them....Sushants unfortunate demise has been a huge wake up call to me ...to my level of compassion and to my ability to foster and protect my equations.....I hope this resonates with all of you as well....will miss your infectious smile and your bear hug ....💔💔💔

    Further, many said that producers like Karan Johar have always supported star kids and nepotism, and have never stood up for outsiders like Rajput.

    They also asked that if fellow celebrities were aware of Rajput's suffering, why none of them came forward to help him.

  • Meanwhile, Twitter users hailed actor Kangana Ranaut, who has been openly critical of nepotism throughout her career. She even called Karan the "flagbearer of nepotism" on his own chat show. The actor has also criticized star kids like Alia on several occasions.

    She tweeted, "No one in the industry stood up for him nor did they lend a helping hand. To tweet today is the biggest display of how shallow the industry really is. No one here is your friend. RIP."
