Later actor Irrfan Khan’s wife Sutapa Sikdar shared a long post on Facebook and slammed the people, who trolled people close to Sushant Singh Rajput. While reacting to Sushant’s suicide, Sutapa said that ‘people have forgotten to show respect for the dead’.

Sutapa had earlier shared a post on how Sushant’s therapist breached confidentiality by giving a statement to media. She removed her post after her friends told her that the report was fake and the ‘Raabta’ actor’s therapist didn’t divulge any details. She also spoke about Rhea Chakraborty and the trolling and backlash she faced on social media.

“I posted the below update and many of my friends have mentioned that the therapist didn't divulge the details hence I am deleting the link. And my apologies to the doctor. But he should definitely sue the journalist then. I wonder why is netizens not reacting to this? It's not only about sushant singh Rajput it's also about how callous we can be to get that bit of news.

My heart goes for the girls mentioned in the article. Imagine how many would have trolled Rhea by now. We cannot know ever what happens between two individuals it's sickening to the core to pass moral judgement on social media.

Just any one gets up today and becomes judge therapist relationship counselor blah blah blah. And I repeat count your blessings in these tough times then being vicious vultures. There is much more in life to share so get a life!!,” Sutapa wrote.

“Dealing with grief could sometimes make you extremely compassionate to others.. Pain can be looked at something to learn from. I was extremely pained when people were more vicious and vacuous in pretext of being sympathizers of #shushantsinghrajput death.we have completely forgotten to show respect for the dead and live wiser.

Grieving process can be also productive fellow beings.some one sent me the below article and how irresponsible is that!!! How further low can media fall?I mean does she have a written permission from her patient for that? Well you got your two minutes glory but you should be the last person to be in this job in first place. And should be banned by the medical faculty for demeaning living people by sharing his personal details. I again apologize doctor,” she further added.

Sutapa’s husband and Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan passed away on April 29 at Mumbai’s Kokilaben hospital due to colon infection. The couple has two sons Babil Khan and Aryaan Khan.
