Salman Khan faces Twitterati's ire over Sushant Singh Rajput's death, accused of ruining Vivek Oberoi's career
Mumbai/IBNS: After Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was on Monday targetted by several Twitterati who are mourning the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
Khan was even accused by the Twitter users of destroying the career of Vivek Oberoi who had once dated Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the ex-girl friend of the Dabangg star.
One user said, "U criminal destroyed the career of Aishwarya Rai, Vivek Oberoi, Arjit Singh and many more & u also banned Sushant from his productions.
Here is Arjit singh post some years ago."

In an infamous press conference dating back to 2003, Oberoi had accused Khan of drunkenly calling him 41 times and threatening to kill him.
The conflict had taken place over Oberoi's reported real-life romance with Aishwarya. The relationship was reportedly not accepted by Aishwarya's ex-boy friend Khan.
Khan also found some support in the micro-blogging site as few Twitter users have defended the superstar.
User with name Devil VIshal tweeted, "Salman Khan never stopped anyone from working with Vivek Oberoi, He even worked with brother it’s just he parted his ways from Vivek and was happy in his own world , then what’s the sense in targeting him now ?"

The suicide of Sushant had earlier triggered a much-talked-about 'nepotism' debate on Twitter, targetting Bollywood's leading contemporary actress Bhatt and celebrated filmmaker Johar in the micro-blogging site.
Several Twitterati have lashed out at Bhatt and Johar for allegedly encouraging nepotism in Bollywood while Sushant with no lineage in Bollywood was trying to climb the ladder in Tinseltown.
