Wow. The level of empathy here or the lack of is astounding! Yeah....let's talk about Shahrukh! Shahrukh himself has talked about being depressed when he was almost written off after Hrithik had entered the industry. Imagine if that shit can impact a Shahrukh Khan, what can it do to someone who is probably struggling with a severe bout of depression.

Not every outsider is a Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh literally moved away from Delhi because he couldn't be in that city anymore after his mother passed away. His sister was so impacted by their parent's passing that she never fully recovered from it and he has on record mentioned that had he not been acting, he would have probably experienced something similar. A Shahrukh also has had a Gauri by his side since he was a nobody. The stability that she provides him with has what has ultimately got him where he is when it comes to surviving in this industry.

Not everyone is a Shahrukh. Not everyone has a strong support system. Not everyone is built the same way. This notion that if you are too sensitive, you need to get out? Really? An artist is supposed to be sensitive. None of these folks are robots.

If anything, Sushant infact put on a brave face when it came to dealing with the crap he faced. It's only after his death that one is learning as to how much shit out there impacted him. And instead of wanting that things should change to make the atmosphere less toxic, one is defending that shit? Bravo.

It happens to everyone. It exists everywhere? So? That should make it okay? If anything that should to things fundamentally changing for the better. But you can't expect that to happen when the audience itself is okay defending that shit.

Few days back one member had made a post. I asked the member to list out the number of blinds written on Ayushmann, RKR and Kartik and I will post the number of blinds written on Sushant. We will see the volume that was written on Sush compared to other outsiders. Mid day journalist himself admitted that everyone knew Sushant was a 'blind column' favourite. He really did face a lot of negativity for God knows what reason. God knows who disliked him so much.

I love how ppl say we need to believe kanagana because she’s an outsider who went through struggles and her opinion is relevant and informative

But the min vidya or anurag offer their perspective that Isn’t just *name drop* murder ...* name drop* sabotage ...*name drop* destroyed his career

Omg they are boot lockers protecting the system...

Ya man...their experiences obviously count for nothing Sabkuch kangana ne hi Saha hai ....

keep ur outsider support bull shit to urself...

So... when people complain about the toxic hellhole b'wood has become for them and openly call people out, they're agenda driven and you're supposed to take such rants with a bucket load of salt cuz they're just "whining" ...cuz there's nothing called toxic culture.

but when Anurag Kashyap makes one statement about SSR not picking up his calls, he's speaking the truth and people are supposed to lap it up ?

I ask you then

If you lap you everything said about everyone (mean to Sushant , mean to outsiders)

Shouldn’t you lap up SSR not giving Anurag a lift ? 🤔

Anurag made one statement about SSR--he didn't pick up his calls. And oooooh boy, you saw a glimmer in the midst of "murder accusations" that finally matches your opinion and turned it into another kahaani of how Sushant was chasing stardom and acting like one of the bootlickers himself and eventually killed himself cuz of his own personal issues where the toxicity and specific targeting doesn't figure anywhere in the picture?

No, not lapping that up my friend.

Anurag stating Sushant didn't want work with him in HTP is not a big deal. But the implication that he didn't because Anurag wasn't some big shot director is hilairous. If it were just about big names , banners and quintessential "hero" roles, I doubt Sushant's career would look the way it did.

I agree with this part. Assuming all sorts of reasons and coming up with conspiracy theories to save the sorry asses of those who bullied him and assassinated his character is as ridiculous as it can get.

You might just get some votes of confidence now though.... cuz you dislike Kangana, the punching bag of the hour. 😆

I'll jump in and state, I believe Anurag. He said Sushant chose YRF film over HTP. I believe him. So? If I'm not wrong SDR did fairly well and he was appreciated for it. He then goes on to say he stopped taking my calls after Dhoni implying the success of that movie probably got to him although never spelling it out at least in the snippet I saw. Now do we know why he didn't take his calls? One reason can be he became arrogant. But then everyone who worked with him after Dhoni has said nothing of that sort. Could it be that he was just avoiding Anurag because he had already walked out of his previous movie, like maybe he was just embarrassed? Could it be he just didn't want to work with him. It ain't like Anurag hasn't avoided people....lol.

SSR avoiding the calls isnt right but it happens. Just like alot of stuff happens. You have to make your way thru it

Anurag never said anything abt sushanth being arrogant or success gone to his head and that’s why he didn’t take calls

He just stated a fact from his end...he didn’t provide or probe for reasoning probably coz he himself understood that happens ....
