The entire Bollywood Industry was abuzz over last few days with all happenings on IIFA. However, there seems to be someone who is not happy with the list of winners. While Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt walked away with the Best Actor and Best Actress award respectively for their stellar act in Udta Punjab, actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who was hoping to bag the Best Actor trophy for MS Dhoni: The Untold Story was not particularly happy with Shahid’s win. It was quite evident from a subtle yet sarcastic tweet that he sent out after Shahid was announced as the winner. Sushant Singh Rajput tweeted, “@IIFA hahahaha”
However, a source close to Sushant has now clarified that the tweet had nothing to do with Shahid Kapoor’s win or the awards for that matter. “Sushant’s tweet had nothing to do with the awards. It was simply an expression of having a successful graduation from a background dancer, to now being an actor performing at the very same award function. In fact the tweet was posted right after Sushant’s performance and had no relevance to the award ceremony. As opposed to the speculation, not getting an award doesn’t affect Sushant as he is very secure as an actor,” the source was quoted.
This is not the first time Sushant has fallen into a controversy like that. Earlier too he had shown his displeasure when he did not win the Filmfare Award for MS Dhoni.
