Bollywood award nights are a star-studded affair and by the time the events ends, there is a lot to talk about over the next few days. From who wore what, who said what to how celebs reacted, there is a lot of gossip. And come on, love it or hate it, we all love B-town tittle-tattle.
Just recently the social media was flooded with the International Film Academy, the event has finally concluded but seems like ‘picture abhi baaki hai mere dost’.
Giving you all a quick update, ‘Neerja’ won the best film, while Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt bagged the award for best actor and best actress for their mind-blowing performance in ‘Udta Punjab’.
While many were celebrating this victory, it looks like someone wasn’t very delighted with the jury’s decision. Sushant Singh Rajput who is just a couple of films old in the industry tweeted something fishy that grabbed everyone’s eyeball. Tagging IIFA he tweeted, “.@IIFA hahahaha”.

Sushant who also gave a power-packed performance at IIFA, didn’t win any award and his tweet is being interpreted by many as an attack at who has presented an award.
Many even noted that the ‘Raabta’ actor wrote this just minute after Shahid won the award. Well, are grapes really sour or was it just a mere coincidence?
However, as expected Twitterati didn’t take this well and laughed back at him. Here are some of the best reactions:

As expected, trolls can really be rude at times and especially when things are tweeted at a wrong time even if the intentions are not wrong. But clearing the air, a close source stated that the tweet by Sushant had nothing to do with Shahid. It was just an expression of how he was once a background dancer and now had the chance to perform in front of so many people. The source also added that SSR is a very secure actor and posted this tweet right after his performance.
But as far as we see he didn’t tweet it after his performance but minutes after Shahid got the Best Actor award. Trade analyst Atul Mohan shared a picture of Shahid accepting the award at 8.29 pm, while Sushant tweeted at 8.34 pm.

So, Mr. Source, would you want to rectify what you said? Or should we give the actor the benefit of doubt? After all, it’s highly possible that the actor felt like sharing his happiness sometime later, isn’t it?
