Twitteratti didn’t take kindly to her views and slammed her for being a ‘negative thinker’, ‘trouble maker’ and asked her to stop spreading conspiracy theories and some even trolled her.
One of the problems with intelligent people is, they finds problem in places where there is none!

Why is it written somewhere that in bath tub full of water cardiac arrest can't happen, stop spreading conspiracy theories when there is none.

And as the cause of death went from cardiac arrest to ‘accidental drowning’ following a forensic report in the evening, Taslima seemed convinced about her earlier theory and wrote how it wasn’t possible for healthy adults to drown in bathtubs ‘accidentally.’
Healthy adults don't drown in bathtubs accidentally.

This time also she was slammed, but there were several who believed in her theory. Check out some of the reactions both for and against her tweet.

Even at the first I thought it was murder. only boney Kapoor was with him in the room. So the police should question him first, this is totally pre planned murder like aarushi

Me too. The moment I heard the sad news, I doubted it was murder. Write it down. Some filmmaker is going to make a movie on #SuspiciousSrideviDeath

This is sad but it is becoming a thriller. Healthy and fine Sridevi can't just drown.
Even at the first instance I thought it was murder. Nd only boney Kapoor was with him in the room. So the police should question him first
