For the ones that have no clue what this is about, let us give you a quick round up of the week that has been – After SLB’s Padmavati set was vandalized because a group of people thought that he was portraying their Queen in bad light, a number of people in the industry took to Twitter to express their views. One view that definitely stood out was that of Sushant Singh Rajput. He removed ‘Singh Rajput’ from his Twitter handle as a way of protesting what happened.
However, the actor put it back on after a day and has been getting trolled mercilessly since. Okay, for starters whose brilliant idea was it to do this? Sushant, you need a new social media and PR agency! While your heart was in the right place, there’s no point of riding a trend that is already a sore subject!
Look at some of these from the trolls –

Sushant even replied to a few of them –
I've not changed my surname idiot. I'm probably 10 times more Rajput than u are if you're implying courage.I'm against the cowardly action. https://t.co/ZXdv183Bxr

Violence is not bravery .
You react on a speculation because of fear .
There are ways to put up your point but that requires intelligence. https://t.co/sOyhiM8zgQ— Sushant Singh Rajput (@itsSSR) January 29, 2017
