Even as the debate over 'nepotism' and 'insider vs outsider' in Bollywood refused to die down in the wake of the suicide of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, Salman Khan made an appeal to stand with the fans of the late actor.
"A request to all my fans to stand with Sushant's fans and not to go by the language and the curses used but to go with the emotion behind it. Please support and stand by his family and fans as the loss of a loved one is extremely painful," Salman Khan wrote on Twitter.
However, the appeal and the tweet didn't go down well with the social media users who trolled the actor, saying he has been launching actors with hardly any talent while people like Sushant were struggling.
“Sushant was a talented guy but you have always given chances to bad guys like Sooraj pancholi,” wrote one user.
