Sushant's last film releases this week. I want to tell the snob and elitist critics right now, write sensibly. Don't act oversmart. Don't write rubbish. Be fair and sensible. Don't try your dirty tricks. You have ruined enough lives. Now stop. We'll be watching.

Chetan Bhagat replied to Chopra and alleged how her husband Vidhu Vinod Chopra "publicly bullied" him and drove him "close to suicide" by not appropriately crediting him for the story.
