Yeah so I'm finally addressing the elephant in the room.

I had kept away from most of all this fiasco and I do believe many of them are going over the top shouting murder and witch-hunting rather than dealing with sushant's death by addressing the issues that need to be addressed.. That they actually should, but I was surprised to find myself nodding my head to many of kangana's replies in this interview. (This is actually the first one of hers that I read) Especially with perspective to what ankita had said about him.. (Don't know how truthful kangana is being here, but this is what I always felt about sush too.. He used to get very very affected with what was written about him.. Remember how he blocked all of us during the break up fiasco?! Ankita on the other hand never did!)

It was that part which actually made me read the whole interview with interest. And I actually agree with her on so many points, including how tapsee and swara are idiotically taking cudgels on behalf of BW even though in the same web of victims as the rest of them, while nepotistic BW is silent.

What do you guys think?

In other news...

This picture brings so much relief 💖

One more full circle here. There is no replacement for sushant, but I guess these two will be okay now. There is no better healer than time, and love.

Niki I am right there with you! I have chosen to not partake in all the craziness, yet this interview caught my eye. Now on one hand I am a little uncomfortable with the thought that Ankita may not have shared all this with Kangana with the intention for the world to hear it... similar to how so many others kept sharing her private thoughts when they probably shouldn't have. But on the other hand it did resonate with me because that is exactly how I used to read him. I feel like the current general perception of Sushant is quite different than everything I have ever observed of him, but this aligned much more closely with what I thought. I suppose in that way I am just biased, but it is what it is at this point. He was definitely very sensitive to criticism and he wanted people to like him; if he liked someone and it wasn't reciprocated then he would almost overdo it trying to win their affection. And then of course I will always remember the whole meltdown when he seemed more upset about being perceived as the "villain" (in his own words) than he was about all of the garbage that was being written about their relationship, and blocked all of us immediately for calling him out. That was such a glaring example of how sensitive he was in this regard... I don't know I just feel odd every time I read about how he was always above it all and too good for the rat race... when really he would get just as flustered and frustrated as anyone else over trying to fit in, and that was fine and normal and nothing to necessarily look down upon.

It seems like people are taking what Kangana said as a negative, but I don't think it was a negative... just reality. I feel like people are taking it to mean he was "weak" and can't reconcile that with the somewhat saintly image that has been created of him. But if people want to find the truth then it is important to acknowledge what his struggles were. This interview highlighted how people will pinpoint your weaknesses and use them to beat you down. The exploitation aspect of it is a very real problem and I don't think she is wrong to call it out. I liked that she admitted that even she would read about him and wonder if that was what he was really like. And if he were still here, wouldn't many people have still believed those things and then trashed his movie? Yet they fall for it again by believing the Kangana is a psycho narrative. The cycle continues...

So overall I had been doing better this week with all of this, partly just out of being too busy to think about it too much... but seeing the poster on Ankita's timeline brought back that odd sense of sadness. I know I have said many times about how "final" everything feels, but this just really hit me with its finality. Her other pictures and captions, though obvious in their intent, were still somehow... discreet? But this was just right there... his face on her timeline, which is not something I ever thought I would see again. I don't know, the implications of it were just buzzing around in my head... I know I have never had any right to speak for them or what they may be feeling... but for some reason the thought really struck me that at this point, after (and despite) everything that happened, even she has forgiven him. Like he is so gone with such finality that even those who he may have hurt deeply are praying for his departed soul...

I don't know it just felt weird and sad to think about.

Oh gosh I'm so relieved that I'm not the only one who felt kangana made sense on so many levels in this interview! See I'm in no way a kangana fan or anywhere even close, if she has a good film or something coming up I'll watch it, and she and her sister have been so vitriolic and extreme these days that the public dislike of her is kind of understandable, but she sometimes can give really good interviews, the way she did after her success post queen and twmr.

This interview was one of them. Even the whole b grade thing she spoke about had me going, yes, yes. We have all seen kangana going through that phase of trying to impress, get a Bollywood high profile bf to be in the news, get news spread about her through PR etc etc as an attempt to fit in. And we saw the pattern in ssr as well of how hard he tried to change to fit in with the bolly crowd that we couldn't identify it as our own ssr! This is not something those who have seen the actor only after his obituary by the bw folks will understand.

By the way, sushant had apparently bought a 20 crore penthouse in bandra for himself and ankita after signing dhoni. This was in 2015, before he broke up with her. Does anybody know if he ever moved into that house later? Because the latest news reports said he was living in a posh flat in bandra on rent..

Dil bechara got the highest rating on imdb people are giving it 10/10

I also watched the film

Beautifully made film sushant was charming. Manny is so full of life and entertaining.

Sushant looked like a bhojpuri actor shooting for jp’s film

It’s cute how seri was their favourite word this used to be one of the only words I remembered when watching Tamil films too

Sanjana is promising and performs well for a debutant

Saif’s character is as eccentric 🤪

semi spoilers below:

Sushant’s Can we just pretend I am not going to die scene 💔miss you loads scene was also sad. Payal cinema onwards was sad I could not watch properly. Chipku hospital scene was touching esp manny’s dialogue. The funeral scene with manny, jp and kizie💔😢

It will remain special as it is ssr last film and i really enjoyed it. Just like the sound of Manny’s name always made kizie smile & heart leap similarly everytime I hear Sushant’s name I will remember him fondly & cherish him.

Like the screenshot says Sushant's legacy will live forever

The cycle continues...

I haven't read the whole interview because in general, I choose not to give any oxygen to the narcissistic megalomaniac that Kangana is. I just find it disturbing that she is so successful in manipulating people's perceptions....like with you guys, the fact that you are Sushant fans looking for some kind of validation regarding his perception and vulnerabilities, she has cleverly put in 1-2 lines pretending like she was a kindered spirit and that's instantly hooked you into lending an ear to what she has to say. She's a high functioning sociopath in many ways....very clever and a very good actress so she is very good at throwing out soundbytes to jump on the issue of the day. I wish people could begin to see past the act to the empty person. For it takes a really empty person to manage to make someone's tragic death also about themselves and their "intellectualism".....the fact that she's thrown out things like Ankita told me Sushant is intellectual like you🤔....anyways shows the level of self-serving exercise this interview was.

Kangana doesn't care about anyone other than herself....her commentary on who is an outsider and who is "b-grade" is also self-serving in the same vein and not some "stand taking" that many seem to think of her to be.

To look for a "Queen" in Kangana is a fallacy to begin with.....she's a fabulous actress, so I can appreciate her talent....but she's a complete psychopath otherwise who preys on people's emotions to get attention in any form.

I hope Sushant can find some peace and isn't turning in his grave seeing psychos like Kangana co-opting his death to make it about some "commentary" on her so called intellectualism and "anti-nepotism morcha".

Seeing the series of events happening post Sushant death reminds me climax of Welcome. When everyone assume Lucky is dead and to convince RDX they make story that with him only reason is gone and with that narrative everyone is doing circus having their own version and fooling around without being respectful to dead one. Here also it is same, Sushant died and people around are milking new way to be in news and Kangana is surely one of them!

Comeon, people take her seriously (on any of her narrative on blaming someone for death) after she saying that the proof she has is using the reference of the game Kill, Marry, Hookup. I mean seriously?!?

I don't know what is she gaining from all this. When you are using someone reference (here Ankita) to make a point then I don't think I will give any weigh to her, but I surely know and think it is no wrong when Anurag or she say that Sushant wanted acceptance from YRF or Dharma.

He always looked for acceptance from the people whom he liked and it didn't bother at times if he got double love from his loved ones. If he liked someone then he did everything to gain their attention.

He was same guy who dropped Bihari Rajput surname from his twitter handle when Padmavati issue was going on. He is not a Rajasthani Rajput and that Rajput is different from Bihari ones, but he did it because he wanted look cool like those BW ones. He always tried to be someone he is not when he wasn't getting attention he wanted from the people he liked.

Honestly, I don't even see it is wrong or something negative because aren't we looking for acceptance?! In a way or other we are working for acceptance, validation, recognition. I don't think It makes him or anyone wrong for thinking like that, because it is very human and shows that he was also a human nothing much different.

Before, I use to think when someone dies then the biggest loss to the person who dies and the loved one around because they suffer, but now seems we need to add circus with it which people play around in name of that dead person and try to be in news.

There is nothing wrong or weak with seeking acceptance. But Kangana is trying to make Sushant sound like a pitiful bechara by describing him as “misguided” in seeking acceptance. She’s saying the same about Taapsee simply because Taapsee refuses to tow her line about being hateful towards the Chopras and the KJos. Just because everyone doesn’t make this as black and white in order to do tamasha doesn’t give someone like Kangana the right to come and pass judgements on how “A or B” grade they are. She sounds like a megalomaniac who thinks she alone knows all truths about everyone, and she alone has “overcome” the big bad world.

She is nothing like Sushant no matter how she wants to spin this. Something broke in her a long time back and is now only filled with hate and venom.

Anyways, I hope people will find a way to move on now that DB has released and they can stop giving oxygen to every 2Rs tamasha that people are doing in the name of so called “justice for Sushant”.
