Sushant Singh Rajput reaction to Shahid Kapoor's win at IIFA wasn't cool at all!

M S Dhoni star made it way too obvious that he wasn't too happy about not winning best actor

In a city that never sleeps, the Metlife Stadium came alive with the IIFA Awards celebration on Saturday night with Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt becoming proud winners of the Best Actor trophies for their remarkable work in Udta Punjab.



In the midst of all this, actor Sushant Singh Rajput tweeted something rather cryptic. Tagging the award ceremony, he wrote, “.@IIFA hahahaha”. The actor did not win an award, and his tweet is being interpreted as a classic case of ‘grapes are sour’.

 

The M S Dhoni biopic star took to Twitter and posted:

After his tweet, fans fired back at him with some hilarious reactions.

Sounds like sarcasm 😐
Some kind of mystery 😱
Or random tweet 😰
Tell na ?!

Wow, Shahid Kapur deserved to win. Looks like Sushant Singh Rajput should drop his entire name in protest this time around

While some were rather mean about his tweet, others came out in support of the actor and said that he didn't need any accolade to his name for being a worthy star.

SSR deserved it more than Shahid. But then film awards are never about 'deserving'. Let these not deter you

You don't need an award to prove yourself. Mark my words one day award will follow you. Keep on working like this. 💜👍

You deserve better Mr.Dhoni aka @itsSSR ! Nepotism plays a key role here !

However, a source very close to the actor told The Indian Express, “Sushant’s tweet had nothing to do with the awards. It was simply an expression of having a successful graduation from a background dancer, to now being an actor performing at the very same award function. In fact the tweet was posted right after Sushant’s performance and had no relevance to the award ceremony. As opposed to the speculation, not getting an award doesn’t affect Sushant as he is very secure as an actor.”
