Sushant Singh Rajput had shot to fame with the TV Show ‘Pavitra Rishta’. After his death, the Pavitra Rishta Fund was launched last month by ZEE5 as a step to create awareness and normalising conversation around mental health.
Initially, Ekta Kapoor had stated that it was her privilege to be a part of the Pavitra Rishta Fund. But after immense backlash, Ekta has clarified that the fund is not started by her and has ‘disassociated’ herself from it.
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 disassociate myself. #SSR Hope the truth prevails.”
On Wednesday the Supreme Court transferred the SSR case to CBI officially and Ekta said that while she supported the mental health cause, she wanted to disassociate from the fund till investigation is carried out.
Her post 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.”
