Vishal Kirti, the US-based brother-in-law of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has slammed a media report for what he feels are demeaning remarks about Bihari families. Vishal, who is married to Sushant's sister Shweta Singh Kirti, shared a link of his blog on his unverified Twitter account, in which he has criticised the journalist in question for stating " the way the family has reacted says a lot about the burden of being a son in a Bihari family" in her article.

Responding to the article, Vishal tweeted: "This is where Jyoti's (journalist) stereotypical 'toxic Bihari family' trope gets debunked. The FIR didn't say that my father-in-law couldn't stand Ankita. The FIR mentions one specific person called Rhea and giving it an anti-feminist flare is toxic journalism."
