'Kartik no need to be scared of these chillars'
Expressing her support, Ranaut asked Aaryan not to be "scared" due to the "nasty articles" that blame his "attitude for the fall out."
Drawing a comparison with Sushant Singh Rajput, she wrote, "They spread same stories of drug addiction and unprofessional behavior for SSR also."
She also mocked Johar's production house for saying they would be keeping a "dignified silence" on the matter.

SSR's fans unhappy with suicide mention in Ranaut's tweet
However, Ranaut was criticized by a section of Rajput's fans for bringing him into the post.
One social media user wrote: "Stop comparing Sushant with Kartik Aryan." Another said: "While I agree with the rest of what you say, kindly correct this statement ma'am. Sushant didn't hang himself. He did NOT commit suicide (sic)."
Meanwhile, Aaryan is yet to comment on the matter.
