Clearly, Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely demise has shocked the entire nation and many have raised their voices in his support. While there has been a massive uprising on social media, fans and netizens are seeking answers as to what was the real reason behind his death. 

However, many fans continue to believe Sushant could have never committed suicide considering his genius mind. The Sonchiriya actor was known to be a visionary, a bright and curious mind and was a National Physics Olympiad winner and seventh rank holder in All India Engineering Entrance Examination. 

Now, director Abhishek Kapoor who worked with Sushant Singh Rajput on films like Kai Po Che and Kedarnath has revealed that he was a troubled man whose mind was systematically dismantled by the industry.

Speaking to Enquiry on Youtube Abhishek said, “It’s a systematic dismantling of a fragile mind,” he said.

Talking about Sushant’s genius mind and other actors who have been victim of similar situations, he said, “Sushant was brilliant, he was an engineer, he was into astrophysics and quantum physics. But because we couldn’t box him into stereotypes we called him ‘off’. He was off, just off your radar. There’s this thing that if you’re not like us then you can’t be with us. There are so many camps that if you’re not part of a camp, even if you’re in the middle of a room, you will be ignored. It is true, especially for actors. I, as a filmmaker, can isolate myself. I can warn a young actor but he cannot see it at the time because the lights are so bright. You lose yourself.” 

He continued, “He was very troubled while we were shooting for Kedarnath. But when we shot, he was 100% there. He never threw a tantrum, it was cold, he had to carry Sara on his back, and he never said no if I asked for retakes. I couldn’t pay much attention to him during the shoot, but I knew we would reconnect if he wanted to.”

For the uninitiated, Kedarnath was Sara Ali Khan’s debut film. However, Abhishek said that Sushant felt that all the media attention had diverted towards her. He became reclusive.

“I had not spoken to him for about a year and a half. There were times, you talk and then you’d go away to do a film. He must have changed his number 50 times and I remember when Kedarnath was coming out, the media had just slammed it. I don’t know what happened, he could see that he was not getting the kind of love because everything was centered around Sara that time. He was just kind of lost. When the film released and it did really well, I sent him a message,” said Abhishek Kapoor.

Abhishek added, “The message said, ‘Bro I have been trying to reach you, I’m not sure if you are upset, or just busy, but call me so we can chat. We made a super film together, again. If we are not going to celebrate it then what the hell are we going to celebrate in life? So please call me, I love you.’ He didn’t respond. He didn’t respond on his birthday. I said to myself just let it be. I could see he was not in a good place but you cannot cross a line. You have to meet someone halfway. You can reach out to someone but only to an extent. If you give unsolicited advice, it is never appreciated and it loses its value. Sometimes I used to think I should call him but then I used to think when he calls me, I’ll get a hold of him. He never called.”

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai home on Sunday, at the age of 34. The police has said that he died by suicide and was depressed.

Abhishek was one of the few people who attended late Sushant's funeral. He also planned to pay a special tribute to Sushant along with his wife Pragya Kapoor. The couple has decided to feed 3,400 impoverished families through her NGO, Ek Saath: The Earth Foundation, in loving memory of the late actor.

Ab pachtake kya fayda jab chidiya chubh gayi khet

After person has gone now people are coming out.
Why didn't they help him when it was needed. Not only him there will be many in industry who are suffering the same. You can't help him but atleast help those who are in trouble so no more sushant type will be there. Social message pe movie banate hain lekin jaha jarurat hain waha pe kuch nahi karte.
