Anurag Kashyap's Interview - Very interesting points about Sushant - Page 27

Anurag really thought he did something new here. 😆 He basically reiterated the "Sushant is arrogant" narrative that was put all over blinds when he was alive. Although only difference now is that Sushant is gone.

this is what we call in marathi as 'shaaljodit le' means shawl me lapet kar dande maarna........ he just didnt use the words and later tried to clear his own name, saying but i have no malice towards him

I actually don't believe him. Sushant rejected half girlfriend also as he had promised to work with dinesh in raabta. Same with mukesh. He had promised him that he:ll work in his first directorial. I don't understand all filmmakers including SLB are blaming him for rejecting their films. Why would he do that?

As far as not picking up the call is concerned, abhishek Kapoor told in an interview that sushant didn't reply to his last msg. That's how he was. Even i don't pick up calls sometimes and answer msgs just because i don't feel like. Abhishek also said he was seeking validation. His emotional quotient was different and things affected him. What's wrong in that?

As per psychology every human has four different personality

One personality he shows in outside society

One personality he shows to his colleagues and classmates etc

One personality is what he shows closest people like family like parents, siblings, wife and kids

Last personality is what he really is, he rarely shows to anyone but himself his real thoughts his feelings etc

Very rarely last personality and one he shows family will be same, that is a rare human

Wonder these bollywood guys what they speak and say is what part of personality they are showing?

So lets not take them seriously at face value, very few are worth taking at face value because they all have masks on

I would rather believe a manoj bajpee kind of guy than any others in bollywood because i feel he wears very less mask in public compared to others

It's sad that the whole conversation has been made into about his career. I agree with Anurag when he says Sushant was responsible for his choices and no one can be blamed for it. Ssr chose to do Drive over Mukkabaaz it's his choice and it's ok. Also despite making few blunders he was doing just fine in fact he was doing better than many of his contemporaries. But the problem is that is not what people are complaining about. People are questioning the negative press he was getting which did effect him. Why was media being so ruthless to him? Him being an introvert didn't really help because he could not even stand up for himself.Many people who have worked with him have accepted how they had a different perspective of him before meeting him ( thanks to all the blinds and gossips). That Me too blind was nail in coffin. Why is that being deliberately ignored?

To present a narrative and to bury the entire matter under the garb of he was responsible for his choice including his death. I dont think whatever Anurag said is significant to the questions surrounding his death , still people are hailing it to be the "answer" to all the questions raised and how the matter should be put under the bucket of just another suicide due to depression.

Blinds have been there for ever. I remember back in the day reading a blind about Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff accusing them of being in a gay relationship. I think this was in Stardust magazine. Both were married and had kids, but acted in a lot of movies together. There was no way of mistaking who they were from the blind and it was a print magazine-no online stuff then. This was decades ago. The movie industry people wanted to know. Jackie Shroff was a total outsider. There is a frenzy about famous people and a market to feed them-as long as there is money to be made by providing aam admi with these kind of articles-it will be there.

In India every year over 1 lakh people commit suicide. Do police spend this much time investigating them, do people spend this much discussing that? SSR was famous and has caught the imagination and Kangana is using his dead body for publicity.

It wasn't just blind it was also picked up by news portals where his name was clearly mentioned. He has to give the clarification himself. You know how serious being accused of sexual harassment is? Especially when me too was a hot topic. People were being cancelled, careers were being destroyed just on basis of one accusation. The fact that sushant wasn't even accused by the actress in question but his name was being involved in Me too is a very big thing. There was literally a paid trend against him on Twitter.

I am not a big fan of MEtoo. Not the concept-women should not have to go through that. However nowadays there seems to be no need of evidence -just an accusation is enough to destroy careers and lives. This is not unique to movie industry-even in the USA vague unprovable accusations almost sunk the nomination of Supreme court Justice Kavanaugh and tarred and feathered him by bringing forth other vague accusations of sex trains and such-for a Supreme court justice. it is like you can throw whatever accusation you want and no consequence no matter how bizarre they are or untrue. Same thing happened when kangna openly threw accusations on hirthik's driector of the movie Super 30-who was also director of her movie Queen.-quite close to release. She also stated no one should work with Hirthik because he kept his wife as a trophy and kept young girlfriends. But there are also true accusations like Harvey Weinstein and I believe Farah Khan's brother Sajid Khan. So there has to be a change where people also insist on evidence and not take seriously such charges without evidence.

I don't think anyone is saying that blinds about him were ok or that they din't have a bearing on his mental state. I think what a lot of people disagree with is the narrative being built around this whole thing. Blinds about anybody are bad not just Sushant or outsiders. Just because someone else has not taken their life does not mean that blinds have not affected them.

However, the narrative currently being peddled is "blinds against Sushant were a deliberate attempt to sabotage him, his blinds were a smear campaign, KJO deliberately planted those blinds, ONLY outsiders have nasty blinds, blinds are a way to kick out outsiders, ALL blinds are planted by insiders, blinds ONLY impact outsiders, insiders don't have blinds about them, Sushant was banned by everyone, Sushant had no work, the Bollywood gang deliberately tried to destroy his career, he was tortured by the Bollywood people, KJO deliberately sabotaged Drive to destroy Sushant's career, etc etc""

The above narrative is what a lot of people are questioning because there is NO EVIDENCE to corroborate any of this. People are just building conspiracy theories out of thin air. Not only that, people are being called murderers and abused and threatened based on these conspiracy theories.

Sushant was a victim of the toxic work culture of this industry. You need a very thick skin, strong mind and strong support system to survive the circus that is Bollywood. Everyone in this industry goes though the same things at varying levels. Sushant unfortunately was unable to take it.

What we should be talking about is the toxic nature of blind items in general. Ethical media reporting , mental health awareness etc. Instead what is being talking about is murder theories and conspiracies. I think that is what people have a problem with.
