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

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
