Sharing the article on Facebook, Sushant had then appreciated their attempts to ‘mock’ him but pointed out how even Joel C. Rosenberg, M.C. Escher, and Jean-Paul Sartre were mocked in the process, as he had given credits before his posts. 

Team Kangana wrote that the attitude of disagreeing with thoughts beyond one’s comprehension and stating that the person should ‘cease to exist’ needed to change. Apurva wrote that the article ‘spun them all to make him seem insane.'

Meanwhile, Sushant’s family reportedly is unhappy with the depression angle that is being associated with his death, that took place on June 14. As per sources, they claimed to have no knowledge of him suffering from any psychological issues. They have approached the Patna police and did not rule out the conspiracy angle in the case, as per reports.
