Twitterati now schools Arjun Kapoor for replacing Sushant Singh Rajput in ‘Half Girlfriend’
'Arjun Kapoor', & 'Half Girlfriend' among top five trending topics on twitter
Mumbai: Twitter users on Wednesday afternoon called out on Arjun Kapoor, labeling him as a “product of nepotism” after reports went viral claiming that late actor Sushant Singh Rajput was the original cast for the movie ‘Half Girlfriend’ alongside Shradha Kapoor but it was later handed to Arjun Kapoor.
Topic ‘Arjun Kapoor’ was top-trending on twitter India on Wednesday afternoon, garnering nearly 11k tweets at 4:30 pm. Another topic ‘Half Girlfriend’ was among the top-five trending topics on the micro-blogging site with nearly 8k views.
The topic took pace after users dig into the account of noted author Chetan Bhagat and found a tweet wherein he had announced Sushant Singh Rajput’s featuring in the movie ‘Half Girlfriend’ based on one of the books written by him. He had also shared a link of Times of India which had covered the story then. The movie however went to Arjun Kapoor as the lead actor.
Irked by this, the twitter army expressed its anger and dissent and added to the outrage surrounding Nepotism in Bollywood which has been the talk of the town ever since Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging at his Bandra residence on June 14.

Sushant singh rajput replaced in movies like Half girlfriend, Befikre, Ram leela etc just because of nepotism and lobbying. No wonder he lost many movies in last six months as well. Time to expose mafia not just on twitter but also in reality. #JusticeForSushant

Omg!! I have next level attachment with 'Half Girlfriend' Novel. I finished it in 1 and half day. After the movie was released, I even went to see it in a theatre. Now knowing that he was replaced makes me sad to another level. God sake..he'd be so much better than Arjun! https://t.co/jlukjtrHme

Wow!!! It would have been a treat to watch Sushant Singh Rajput as the lead character in Half Girlfriend(if true). Who gave this idea to cast Arjun Kapoor for this role, matlab Kuch Bhi.

Flight services between Kolkata, Dubai resume partially
Kolkata (PTI): Flight services between Kolkata and Dubai resumed partially on Thursday, after a four-day suspension due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, officials said.
A flydubai aircraft from Dubai landed at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport here at 2:40 am with 130 passengers on board, marking the first arrival from the Middle East after services were halted for over 113 hours, they said.
The Boeing 737 Max aircraft was scheduled to arrive at 12:25 am, Kolkata airport officials said.

The same aircraft departed for Dubai at 3:59 am with 55 passengers, they said.
The last flight to depart for the Middle East from Kolkata before the suspension was an Emirates aircraft to Dubai on February 28, the officials said.
International services between Kolkata and cities such as Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi were disrupted, after airlines temporarily suspended operations amid escalating tensions and airspace restrictions in parts of the Middle East, due to the conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran.
There is no clear indication about when all the Middle East routes will fully reopen, they said.
