Sushant Lost 7 Films Despite Chhichhore’s Success, Alleges Sanjay Nirupam; Says ‘The Industry’s Cruelty Killed Sushant’

In a shocking turn of events, Sushant Singh Rajput, 34, was found hanging at his Bandra house in Mumbai. His postmortem reports confirm suicide and state hanging as the reason behind his death. Sushant was battling depression for the last six months and was on anti-depressant pills as well. The actor gave up and ended his life on Sunday, June 14 2020.

Sushant’s untimely demise has started a conversation around mental health on social media platforms and many people have also called out the hypocrisy of Bollywood biggies offering condolences to the late actor but allegedly neglecting and boycotting him in his tough times. 

Celebrities including Kangana Ranaut, Nikhil Dwivedi, Rajat Barmecha slammed B Town actors for outpouring love for Sushant after his demise, but not supporting him during his low phase. Politician Sanjay Nirupam has come forward and made a shocking revelation following Sushant’s death.

Nirupam alleges that Sushant lost seven films in just six months despite delivering a hit movie like ‘Chhichhore.’ He also mentioned that the industry's ruthlessness works on a very different level and claimed that the industry’s cruelty killed Sushant.

In a tweet written in Hindi, Sanjay Nirupam said, "After the success of ‘Chhichhore’, Sushant Singh Rajput had signed seven films. He lost the films in just six months. Why? The film industry's ruthlessness works on a very different level. And that ruthlessness took the life of one talented person."

Sanjay Nirupam’s tweet resonates with filmmaker Shekhar Kapur’s comment after Sushant’s death on Sunday.  Shekhar had posted a cryptic tweet after the young actor committed suicide as he wrote on Twitter: “I knew the pain you were going through. I knew the story of the people that let you down so bad that you would weep  on my shoulder. I wish Iwas around the last 6 months. I wish you had reached out to me. What happened to you was their Karma. Not yours. #SushantSinghRajput”

Shekhar Kapur had cast Sushant Singh Rajput in his film titled Paani, but the film got delayed.

Meanwhile, people have been blaming ‘nepotism’ for Sushant’s tragic step of suicide and also slammed Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt for mocking Sushant on the former’s chat show.

On Sunday, Karan Johar had penned a heartfelt letter following Sushant’s unfortunate demise and ‘blamed’ himself for not keeping in touch with the actor. 

“I blame myself for not being in touch with you for the past year..... I have felt at times like you may have needed people to share your life with...but somehow I never followed up on that feeling...will never make that mistake again...we live in very energetic and noisy but still very isolated times ...some of us succumb to these silences and go within...we need to not just make relationships but also constantly nurture them....Sushants unfortunate demise has been a huge wake up call to me ...to my level of compassion and to my ability to foster and protect my equations.....I hope this resonates with all of you as well....will miss your infectious smile and your bear hug …” Karan wrote.
