Life as we know it is unpredictable, but one thing is fairly certain. If you are on Twitter and have an opinion, you will be trolled. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has received widespread support from Bollywood ever since members of Karni Sena attacked the set of his upcoming film Padmavati and manhandled the filmmaker.
Sushant Singh Rajput removed his surname from his Twitter handle to show his support with Padmavati director Sanjay Leela Bhansali but the reel Dhoni added it to his Twitter handle again. Thereby, the star gave a golden opportunity to troll him on Twitter.
Sushant Singh Rajput Trolled For Dropping His Surname:
The MS Dhoni biopic star took his surname ‘Rajput’ off his Twitter profile, expressing solidarity with the director. Sushant tweeted, “We would suffer till the time we’re obsessed with our surnames. If you’re that courageous, give us your first name to acknowledge. #padmavati.”
Sushant also urged people to drop their obsession with caste discrimination.
We would suffer till the time we’re obsessed with our surnames.
If you’re that courageous,give us your first name to acknowledge.#padmavati— Sushant Singh Rajput (@itsSSR) January 27, 2017
He dropped the ‘Rajput’ off his name for a day, thereafter. But, this morning it was back on.
In no time, he was trolled for this act, to which Sushant again reacted aggressively. Have a look at some of the twitter reactions.

If Sushant Singh Rajput can inspire the Gandhis to drop their surname & adopt their original one, I would become his fan.@itsSSR

So an act by a few hooligans made Sushant Singh forget the pride garnered by Maharana Pratap and other Rajput Kings. That’s shallowness.

@itsSSR for a role in @SanjayLeelaB movie you can change your mother and father too.
— Sudip (@Sudippar) January 29, 2017
However Sushant replied to some trolls and finally shuts their mouth with his aggressive tweets.
People quote history to search for their relevance in future,
not knowing that their names surely will be forgotten forever.#selfmusing— Sushant Singh Rajput (@itsSSR) January 28, 2017
I have the balls to stand up for the future, so just shut up you joker. https://t.co/ixzyhjflLu

In a recent interview the actor said: “Yes, I did it for a day 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 mere speculation. I am not changing my name that was a way to express that I don’t endorse the view of a particular group which claims to be the representative of entire Rajputs and probably India.”
