Sushant drops surname on Twitter to support Padmavati

On being asked to comment, Sushant explained why he dropped his surname from his Twitter account. He said, “I did it to show that the unfortunate action is not what everyone with that surname endorses. They do not represent the entire Rajputs. There are ways to express your ideas, but violence is never an answer, and that too just on a mere speculation.” The incident on the Padmavati set occurred on Friday in Jaipur. The Karni Sena activists damaged some cameras and other equipment as they opposed what they called distortion of historical facts in the film. The film fraternity has strongly condemned the act.
