Jiah Nafisa Khan suicide: Farhan Akhtar questioned for his silence
Ever since it has been revealed through late Bollywood actress Jiah Nafisa Khan's suicide letter that she was raped and tortured, people are shocked. While Mumbai police took a quick action and began to trace Suraj Pancholi, raided his home, arrested, et al, many Bollywood bigwigs have maintained silence on this issue.

If Bollywood stood firm to support the campaign against rape and discrimination, why are they quiet now and not raising their voice? It was Farhan Akhtar who initiated this campaign, and promoted it. Now, questions are being thrown right in his face as to why is he maintaining silence on Jiah's rape issue and not taking a step against Suraj?
