Producer Sandip Ssingh opens up on his close friend and late actor Sushant Singh Rajput and urges everyone to respect the dead and the grieving family.

Producer Sandip Ssingh, who lost his close friend and actor Sushant Singh Rajput earlier this month, has revealed ugly details of how people reacted after his death. A shocked Sandip said that he got messages from �powerful people� asking him why he did not �invite� them for the funeral. Sushant died by suicide on June 14 and cops have confirmed he was suffering from depression.

Speaking in an interview, Sandip said, �People created a drama out of his death, he did not like such things. I was about to go for a bath after I cam home from the last rites and I got a few phone calls and messaging asking me why I did not invite them to the funeral! I got messages �we are powerful people, you have not invited us�. I mean, what goes on in the minds of these people? Shocking!�

�Ekta Kapoor had been dragged into a controversy but she was there on her own. Shraddha Kapoor, Randeep Hooda, ye saare log waha aa ke baarish me khade the , ro rahe the (All of them came despite the rains and cried right there, they did not need invitation for a funeral)...More than his death, I am hurt by the things people are doing,� Sandip added.

Sandip, who will soon release his debut film starring Sushant, also said he was hurt with the way media and Sushant�s fans have resorted to blame game post the actor�s death. People are not angry, it is their emotion but it is being channelised in the wrong manner. The media defined it as anger. A few people are also playing blame game, no one is thinking what family is going through,� he said.
