What a sick person is this Rajat. I can understand if a random Twitter / ig or here on if person said this, we all comment on them, their looks but this coming from someone someone like rajat mocking him / them is uncalled for.

This is sad. Just sad.

I thought this Rajat guy is also some random guy....Who is he? Did he achieve even half of what Sushant did in his short life?

That’s a very fine balanced take. This is how I view Sushant too. Not like what that stupid Rohini lady said. She made him sound so unlikeable and recluse. And she calls herself his bff. Like come on lady. 🤪

Everyone seeks validation from entities that matters. When you work hard for an exam, result is your validation. For an actor, award and appreciation is validation. Not from colleagues then from reviewers, award functions.

In BW, reviews are paid, awards are paid. Aloo is Meryl Streep and Sooraj Pancholi is best debutante. 🤷‍♀️ And we are supposed to lap that up.

I also like what Abhishek pointed out about talent management companies asking you to create an image and do projects around same. They don’t nurture an artist but they want you to fake it for the so called image.

So whatever we see of these celebs— is not even half the truth. It’s all carefully crafted image by their PR companies.

People like Sushant can’t fake it so it starts affecting them. All they want is — want to act and not bother with fake stuff.

I almost teared up when Abhishek was describing the phase when Sushant had started distancing himself from people by not replying to repeated text messages and not even having the will to celebrate the success of his own film. The signs were so clearly there. He had already reached a point of despair where nothing perhaps excited him anymore. I don't know what to say. It's only getting sadder as more details are coming out.

Its understandable as the movie’s success was largely attributed to Sara while hardly anybody acknowledged him, while it was him who did the most hardwork...:(...I wont be surprised if Kedarnath was the beginning of his end contributing largely to his despair, disappointment and disillusionment ......It was for everyone to see, the unfair treatment he received there!

Its a sad state to be in. Imagine his mental state at that point. The man should have been so distraught where he puts in all the efforts only to be sidelined or all his efforts sidelined. Even the successful ones not given any validation. The desperation to be acknowledged, to be accepted by the industry he was in, to walk into a party but feeling alone.

On top of that, his movies being canceled or pushed to direct online release, to see his movie shelved, then comes the smear campaign. That takes a toll. if he was ailing already, its even more deadly.

Seriously who was behind those blinds and was this news of biggies deciding to boycott his movies true???

Gosh, the more people open up about him, the more it breaks and pains my heart

His death is already unbelievable and I’m still not able to accept it. To know he suffered for years because of these people angers and saddens me so much. I don’t even want to imagine what his family and true well wishers must be going through

Abishek Kapur abd Kriti’s post are the only genuine ones.

I really wish he stayed alive and the public knew about how mentally defeated he was becoming and who/ what was the cause. We could have supported him. Even Abhishek Kapoor says he stopped returning calls when Abhishek wanted to celebrate the success of Kedarnath. He was sidelined and taken for granted for way too long and possibly too humble to give himself the credit he deserved but he had every right to be proud of his work. It's disgusting that he was forced to beg for work. It's sad that his death will bring about a change that could also have occurred if he had lived. They say that success is the best revenge and that was definitely within his reach but he succumbed. RIP.

Also, much of what Abhishek describes has been also said by Kangana who has described well and truly that the industry does operate like this. Movie mafia is evidently not just some bogey. Even with the awareness that Kangana created about these issues, the counter-narrative to the nepotism brigade, the vocabulary to call out nepotism itself, how she became free and independent of the suffocating eco-system, still this tragedy occurred.
