The hashtag has been 'hijacked' by Rajput's massive fanbase
In recent months, we have frequently seen the power of Rajput's following, as the Kai Po Che! actor trended online for multiple reasons. While other actors were nominated initially, but Rajput's name is all you can see, no matter how far you scroll in the hashtag.

Separately, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) came one step closer to solving the drug angle in Rajput's death, as they arrested a drug peddler in Goa. The news came to light on Friday, and the accused, Hemal Shah, was produced in a court. Last month, the drug enforcement agency had also identified a person named Sahil Shah as the prime accused in the case.
