From Saif Ali Khan's stabbing to SSR's death: 5 most disrespectful Indian media moments

Over the years there have been times that needed the Indian media to be more resourceful and truthful. But that is a rarity nowadays with most of the PR agencies and media people working hand in glove to curate a fake image or a scenario. However, at times such speculations go beyond the boundaries and create disrespectful moments for those involved.

Saif Ali Khan’s recent stabbing

While the police have maintained that Saif Ali Khan was stabbed by a stranger at his residence in Mumbai in the early hours of January 16, there have been speculations that the story is not true at all. The speculations have become wilder after the Nawab of Pataudi walked looking fit and fine after discharge from hospital.

Many people believe that the media has been too harsh towards Saif and Kareena Kapoor Khan and the couple should be left alone to heal and come out of this dreadful incident.

Media went overboard when news about Sridevi’s shocking death in a hotel in Dubai reached India. Although the autopsy reports indicated that she died due to drowning in a tub and there was nothing suspicious about her death, the Indian media made a huge hue and cry of it. A few even alleged that Boney Kapoor was behind the death of his wife Sridevi without giving a second thought to the fact that at that time both Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor were very young and they may have been badly affected by such baseless speculations.

No one knows the truth behind Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. But the media undoubtedly lost all its sanity while accusing his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty  witch-hunting the young actress. Apart from Rhea and her family, even Sushant’s friends and family members were followed and questioned multiple times even though the CBI report is yet to come out with the exact cause behind SSR’s death.

During the investigation of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, NCB came across a few chats that indicated that some of the Bollywood celebrities were in touch with drug peddlers. A few chats of Deeps also surfaced that indirectly hinted that she might be talking about drugs. But later on, Deepika Padukone explained that it was entirely a different thing that she was talking about. However, the hyperactive Indian media people blew the entire thing out of proportion.

Aryan Khan's drug case was one of the most discussed and hot topics in media in 2021. Even though drugs were not found on the star kid, he was put behind bars and it took a team of lawyers and a specially hired legal expert from London for Shah Rukh Khan to get bail for his son. However, the way Indian media disrespectfully targeted SRK, Gauri Khan, and his entire family caused a deep cut in the heart of Shah Rukh Khan.

And since then he has stopped posing or taking pictures with the paparazzi.
