Mumbai: Actor Aditya Pancholi recently said that Kangana Ranaut's nepotism theory in Sushant Singh Rajput's death case has been proven false, thus, she should return her Padma Shri, as she had promised to do if proven wrong.
"Tell her to return it now because she is wrong about Sushant Singh Rajput. His father filed a report in Patna in which there is no angle of nepotism mentioned. He clearly said that Section 306 is on Rhea. When Kangana was naming industry people, she actually wasted everyone’s time," he said in an interview with a leading portal.
Earlier, in an interview with a leading portal, Kangana had said, "I am telling you, if I have said anything, which I can’t testify, which I can’t prove, and which is not in public domain, I will return my Padma Shri."

Aditya, whose son Sooraj Pancholi is accused in the Jiah Khan suicide case, went on to say that Kangana has a habit of ‘digging a hole in the same plate she eats in’ while talking about the actor constantly ridiculing the film industry.
Aditya further said, "Jis thaali mein khate hain usme chhed nahi karte hain (Do not dig a hole in the same plate you eat in)," he said. He added, "Kya bol sakte hai uss aurat ke baare main, uspar humara defamation case bhi chal rha hai, (What can we say about this woman. We have a defamation case going on against her). She is not supposed to talk about me and my family."
Talking about Sooraj's name being dragged in Kedarnath starrers' death, Aditya said, "One foolish guy posted and all these major media picked it up and made it into an issue. This is not fair. Everyone has to be responsible, we had to go through so much pain." He added, "I am not on social media but they are trolling Sooraj that he is a ‘murderer’. This is the reason he had to turn his comments off. What is this?."
Sooraj and his mother, Zarina Wahab, have both dismissed reports that suggested he knew Disha Salian or had thrown a party on the night before Sushant’s death.
