"Why no male actors have been probed in drugs case": Suchitra Krishnamoorthi question's NCB's line of investigation

Actress and Singer, Suchitra Krishnamoorthi in a Twitter post, has revealed that she is “aghast” that no men from the film industry have been summoned by NCB in their probe into alleged Bollywood drug nexus. Opining that the entire culture of misogyny needs a reset, Krishnamoorthi pointed out on how “no men were named & called for #ncbprobe – only the women shamed.” Talking to Twitter, she wrote, “From normalising women being addressed as “#kyamaalhai in the movies, to fuming over a woman asking #MaalHaiKya in real life, our entire culture of misogny needs a reset. Im still aghast that no men were named & called for #ncbprobe - only the women shamed.”

In another tweet, sha asked her fellow members of the film fraternity to not touch their noses in videos because it will perceived as a drug addiction. While she did not take any names, she could be referring to the viral 2019 video, where many Bollywood personalities allegedly appeared to have taken drugs at a party.She wrote, “Dear friends. Dont ever touch ur finger to ur nose again. Never mind if u were trying to control a sneeze or pull a hair in ur nose. Certainly dont do that in a video thats uploaded on social media. Or u may be labelled a druggie by fanatics . Sambhal ke rahiyo (Be careful) - times are bad.” In the drug probe linked to actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case, the Narcotics Control Bureau has summoned only women actors so far. Last week, Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor, and Rakul Preet Singh were summoned for questioning. Rakul  and celebrity fashion designer Simone Khambatta faced the agency officials on Friday, while Padukone, Khan and Kapoor appear for questioning on Saturday. Recently the Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa actor had also revealed to India Today that she was told by a KWAN representative that all she needed to make a comeback into films was to show up at the parties organised by Karan Johar.
