Some times, social media can be a cruel place. Earlier, netizens had claimed that Sushant Singh Rajput's sister, Meetu Singh hadn't shown 'appropriate grief' after her brother's demise. Sushant's niece, Mallika Singh had bashed the trolls in defense of her aunt. On Meetu Singh's post for Sushant Singh Rajput, her niece, Mallika Singh had commented, "Clearing out some of the misunderstandings about my masi: 1. If you study up on psychology (I'm minoring in psychology at university) you'd know of a thing called "emotional numbing" by shock. You can stop feeling emotions temporarily after trauma. She compulsively refused to believe it had happened. She was the first one to hear the news from our family, she was the main shock absorber. 2. She was asked to keep it together for a little while by the lawyer, and watch how the investigation is carried out after she had fainted when she arrived. My mamu (SSR) had a lot of valuables in the apartment. She was asked to be alert." Take a look at her post below:
