Krissann: I risked my career, my life

Krissann recently appeared on Shardul Pandit’s podcast Uncensored, where she opened up about the tough time she faced for talking about Sushant. "In India, if you are an actor, you can’t grieve," she said. "If your friend passes away, people assume you’re posting for attention.
