Producer Ekta Kapoor has distanced herself from Pavitra Rishta Fund, set up with an aim to spread mental health awareness among people. Her decision comes after Vishal Kirti, brother-in-law of Sushant Singh Rajput, gave out a strong message against using the late actor as a poster boy for mental health awareness.
The fund drew its name from Ekta Kapoor's "Pavitra Rishta", the TV series that made Sushant a household name before he became a Bollywood star. The producer was being severely trolled for lending support to the fund, a gesture that many felt meant she was supporting the depression theory in Sushant's death, which his family has rejected.
