Ekta Kapoor Dissociates Herself From Pavitra Rishta Fund Till Truth About Sushant's Death Comes Out
Ekta
Kapoor
had
collaborated
with
ZEE5
India
CEO
Tarun
Katial
and
had
announced
Pavitra
Rishta
fund
in
memory
of
the
late
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput,
to
create
awareness
among
people
about
mental
health.
As
the
fund
was
launched,
Sushant's
fans
took
to
social
media
to
troll
Ekta
for
using
the
late
actor's
name
for
mental
health
awareness
initiative.
As
trolling
intensified,
Sushant's
face
was
dropped
from
the
Pavitra
Rishta
Fund
logo.
Netizens
also
trended
#ShameOnEktaKapoor
and
called
out
the
producer
for
supporting
depression
theory
in
Sushant's
death,
which
many
close
ones
of
Sushant
have
rejected.
After
Supreme
Court
ordered
CBI
probe
into
Sushant's
case
today
(August
19,
2020),
Ekta
disassociated
herself
from
the
Pavitra
Rishta
Fund.
Sharing a note on Twitter, Ekta wrote, "Even though this is not a fund started by me, but started by Zee and is a needed one at that, I am always with Zee for any other mental awareness fund that they want to do, but on this one I would like to respectfully dissociate myself. #SSR Hope the truth prevails."
The note read, "While I support the cause of mental health, I disassociate myself from the 'Pavitra Rishta fund' till investigations are carried out and we have a clear picture on Sushant's unfortunate death. I withdraw myself from this fun individually as of now, as it seems there's more to this tragic incident. Like the rest of the country, I would like the truth to come out."

It has to be recalled that Ekta Kapoor had launched Sushant in her show Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil. The late actor then got a big break with Pavitra Rishta, in which he played the role of Manav Deshmukh. He was paired opposite Ankita Lokhande in the show and their jodi was a big hit. They had also dated for long time, but moved on as things didn't work out.
Although Ankita has moved on, she is still seen supporting and fighting with Sushant's family for justice.
How dare you Ekta Kapoor ?
