So ? How does it prove it was not a systematic dismantling of a fragile mind. What does this even prove, he rejected one movie and took another, early in his career. Is that wrong ? DO we all not do that all the times in our life, especially early in our career. Whatever he said happens with everyone in the industry. Nothing that proves that it was just his personal problems that led him to the edge. About him not picking up his calls , well I remember in one of his interviews post Dhoni, he said he changed his number so he doesnt know who called him to congratulate. So yeah it could be so many things other than arrogance. The man is not there to clarify that part. His college friends have also mentioned he used to change his phone number a lot.
Also if he was arrogant, so does it mean that he was not in his lowest during late 2018. Does it means there were not continuous blinds about him being a molester and leach. He was always portrayed as someone who makes women uncomfortable in all those blinds, unlike Ranbir where the so called flings are mutual. For Sushant , Jacqueline had to stay away, Sara told him off, Kriti left him coz he was a skirt chaser, Kiara was uncomfortable with the kiss and off course he made a teenager so uncomfortable that the parents had to come to the shoots. Every time there was some news on him being arrogant , too big for his shoes, demanding more money (6 crores for a SSR is huge and 30 Cr for VD is fine) which ofcourse happens with all the outsiders(KA, Ayushaman and to some extent RKR). But what do we have to say about him being a harasser a skirt chaser. There were blinds about him wanting to have ONS on songs from his serial. 😏 He had earned a name of being a leech along with other being arrogant , wanna be, weird and professor sahab(which not matter as much).
If we believe Anurag Kashyap here, we need to also believe other people who knew him closely than Anurag which includes, Manoj Bajpai, Abhishek Kapoor, Shekhar Kapoor. Did Gattu not say the same thing which Anurag has stated. But he presented it in a subtle manner.

Taking about how the industry failed to understand an artiste like Sushant, Abhishek said, "It's a systematic dismantling of a fragile mind. 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."
I deny to believe that Karan Johar or YRF has no power or even for that matter leads like Salman, Akshay , Aamir at one point of time SRK have no power to actually destroy a career. Taking away films from someone and giving to someone for your personal vendetta or a personal preference is also a part of destroying someone's career. Who knew what Chalte Chalte and Veer Zara could have done to Aishwarya's career. We can have a lot of counter arguments on that , but we dont know what a specific film taken away from someone can do the career of an actor/director.Who knew what the direction of Taare Zameer Par would have done to Amol Gupte. So no I disagree when he says, no one can destroy ones career. There are so many faceless people whose name we dont know whose career have been destroyed by so many powerful people. Amit Sadh said in an interview, he was banned by television because one recommended to another to not take him.
Well about Sushant having a lot of movies in his kitty. I dont think so. He completed Kedarnath in 2018, Chichhore and DIl bechara partly in 18 and in early 19. There was no announcement or news on any of his movies, except for that RUmy Jaffrey ones, which again was not a big project. We keep hearing about Alia doing this, Ranveer signing that, Ayushman, Deepika or all these stars, there is some news when people sign movie or even read scripts. The only news that had Sushant was his arrogance, his parties, his neighbour being disturbed by him , him being asked to leave the house he currenly stayed in (when the matter of fact is he had it booked till 2021) There was some news about him (officially) , when he had dengue at around 2019 OCt. Thats to it. If he was in talks, people would have come out and spoken, in their bid to save the name of BW , that yeah we were in talk.No he definitely did not have projects that these people are talking about. For a while there was news about him trying to get in contact with Disha(who died 5 days before Sushant) for a Web Series. Ofcourse he did not have a movie to look forward to. He was one person who could not deal with not being into some kind of work. Yes it was a result of lack of emotional support that added to it as well. But that guy could not deal with no work/boredom. For him the antonym of happiness was boredom. Even his friend who was also a gym instructor mentioned how when he got dengue he was not happy about not being able to work on his body, about getting weak and about having to sit and wait for himself to get well. Covid also contributed to his this state where he could not get involved in some other work. And ofcourse I do believe he was surrounded by people who were not really good for his mental health.SO everyone who says he had offers to look forward to .. well I don't think so.
He did have his problems with KJO after the entire drive fiasco and any Sushant fan would know that from the beginning , Kjo mentioning Sushant in KWK, every now and then just so that the person can in a way look down on him(because they had no choice) was totally uncalled for. It always ..always looked like a dig. Not everyone is okay with that. And with Sushant it actually sometimes really felt too much. I remember only actor who ranked him first in acting dept was Emraan. He was always looked down upon for his looks ,no other successful outsider in that show was demeaned to that extent. You ask Sara who do you prefer and then when she somehow answers you make a face and then ask her father who do you prefer, why? why was it needed?
And ofcourse so much murkiness in all the theories that police keeps on giving. They want to take away the heat from BW and make it all about a personal mess. Well I chose to disagree. Anurag's statement changes nothing. There is nothing that has not been talked about in this forum. They were definitely not directly responsible but they were partially responsible for the same. And if they have had a 5% involvement in Sushant doing what he did , well they have to be called out for.I stick to what Abhishek said "Strategic dismantling of a fragile mind".
A farmer dies of suicide , system is responsible . A good successful actor dies of suicide, well he was bipolar. If we have to talk about depression , we also have to talk about what leads to it, and not just like these people like to propagate ..talk.. talk ..talk. If he was this depressed, I am sure people knew. Who reached out to him. ANd now they are all giving lectures on how to help people in depression. Imagining knowing he was depressed, blinds were still being released. Probably just after his death , everyone thought it will die down and then will get back to business.. However it did not. SO now everyone is coming out to talk. Just because his family has no lawyers to speak on such forums and are dealing with his death till death and the industry biggies have lawyers like Kashyap(one of the most intellectual directors in this forum ), they believe they can change the narrative.
Also please stop talking about Sonichidiya, I saw snippet of a lady saying , why did you people not go to see his movies in the theatre when he was begging. Like seriously we have come to this level of debating in our mission to prove BW is so holy than thou? Sonichidiya just did not suffer because people did not go to watch. There was one post, from Sushant where he wanted to know about the halls where the movies was being shown in a dubbed version , if I remember correctly. Infact when some fan pointed out to him , he did post on having done any such dubbing.
Here is the link.
A snippet
My dear audience, Firstly, a big thank you to all of you and the reviewers who are showering so much praise and appreciation on Sonchiriya! Despite a ridiculously low number of screens the film’s been released on, we’re getting rave reviews and also trends of growth.”
However, a lot of you are writing in to me with heartbreaking reports that the film is released in some ‘dubbed’ version which is not the same as the original version we have created. Please note that I have not dubbed for any version other than the original dialect. And neither have any of my senior actor colleagues who are part of the film and who I’ve spoken with! Please send me names of theatres that you find are playing this ‘dubbed’ version and I will escalate to those concerned. I don’t want our labour of love to be corrupted in any manner. Keep the faith on Sonchirya and keep spreading the good word... Thank you so much! Jai shiv Shambho.
Here is the link, for people who might doubt the authenticity of my claim.

Stop with the talent can be promoted by audience. Audience needs to know that the talents exists, audience need to see the talent to support him/her.
Just because one of the most intellectual directors said something that has been talked about, changes nothing.
