Lashing out at Bollywood's bigwigs, Kangana said in an interview: "I have no way of investigating this matter. I am not an official. I can only gather my common sense with whatever I see. Whatever I say and whatever I put out there is not my opinion... it's not something that I think about but it is for everyone in the public domain to see. and some people very conveniently ignore it."

Sushant's who was found dead in his Bandra apartment on June 14, died by suicide, due to due to asphyxia, according to the autopsy report. However, his death has fueled several conspiracy theories that stated it may not be a mere suicide.
