The series has undoubtedly left many netizens upset as they took to their 'Twitter' accounts to share their thoughts on the same.

'Death in Bollywood' because they do not come out of it well," tweeted one user.

Another user drew parallels to the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's demise in 2020 by writing: "I'm watching 'Death in Bollywood. My god! This is so crazy to see how this case is mirroring Sushant's case! I'm so glad this has been aired on British TV! Hopefully, this will make more people realise the evil side of Bollywood!
