This topic again goes viral because of very soon demise of brilliant and excellent bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput. It is very painful to believe that Sushant Singh did not die naturally, but he committed suicide. He was just 34.
Rajput started his career with daily soap and his debut show was Star Plus romantic drama Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil, but he became popular by playing the lead role in daily soap Pavitra Rishta. He was a DTU student and winner of Physics Olympiad. Sushant made his film debut from Kai Po Che and this film made him the best male debut.
From this film he started his career in Bollywood followed by films like Shuddh Desi Romance, Detective Byomkesh Bakshi and some of his highest grossing releases were PK, MS Dhoni:The Untold Story, Kedarnath and Chhichhore. Apart from acting he was also socially active and promoter of Women Entrepreneurship Platform,Sushant4 Education. It depicts how he rose from the ground level to the top of Bollywood industry with no godfather and filmy background.
Now it is controversial that what are the factors that pressurize him to take such a drastic step. It is still under investigation. Here I am just discussing the points based on prelims investigation by Mumbai police and interviews. In February Kamal Khan tweeted that some big production houses like T-series, Bhansali, Sajid Nadiadwala have boycotted Sushant, and he has to do TV series, Web series and daily soap.
He was also virtually trolled at Karan Johar’s show Coffee With Karan and guest placed him at very low rank.. It was believed that you can’t survive without the blessings of some Bollywood superstars which I can’t mention here but it is predominant in Bollywood that you need to belong to a particular clan, religion, have certain surnames and only then you will be let inside. He was virtually trolled and ragged indirectly as said by Kangana Ranaut.
I still remember him begging his fans on Instagram to watch his movie Sonchariya saying that I have no godfather in Bollywood and need your support for my career. It is true that India’s top movie industry which makes second highest number of the movies in the world is controlled by half dozen nepotists. His father claimed that something was troubling him from Bollywood. He was systemically dismantled. In 2017 Mumbai Mirror wrote that Sushant look like a truck driver and Bollywood Life called him narcissistic. He was also blamed for sexual extortion of his co actress and also hit one of the director with glass bottle. A week back his ex manager named Disa Salian committed suicide. It was also trending on twitter that he did not committed suicide but was murdered.
The doctor has stated cause of death due to hanging. Several facts like CCTV camera was broken and partied last night with his friends. His servant also claimed that he drank juice before half hour of his death and then committed suicide. Literally a depressed person is not conscious to food and sleep. He may be depressed but can't commit suicide as he acted in movie like Chhichhore which revolves all around this. It was so inspiring that it changed our mindset then how it does not him who acted in it for months. It taught us that we all have plans after success but not after failure as no one wants to talk about it.
Well, it is still underway that he committed suicide or murdered. But Bollywood nepotism is prevalent. Shouldn’t Bollywood be a melting point where anyone with talent, skill and handwork and dedication gets shaped in his career like any other business?
