For Sushant, things were working. He wasn't no.1 but that's life. If he was healthy, he would have learned to live with disappointments like we all do when things don't work perfectly for us. He had his own internal issues and was taking medication for them. Depression is a real illness. Stop blaming others for what happened to him and give attention to mental health. Instead people are busy bashing people like Deepika who is trying to push the dialogue in the right direction. But no, our satisfaction only comes from harassing people like Karan and Alia who didn't even have anything to do with Sushant.
@BOLD That is a very flawed comparison. You cannot compare a presidential election with being a successful actor as only ONE can win the former. Being successful as an actor is largely dependant on the types of opportunities you get and Bollywood is an industry where everyone can eat and taste success (not just one UNLIKE a presidential election) but they CHOOSE to play favorites. It wasn't like the audience rejected Sushant. Most of his films were successful. And Sushant never had the desire to be number 1. Neither did he lack talent or merit. It is the industry that failed him by not only constantly ridiculing him and excluding him but also by snubbing him of roles. This industry is heavily driven by nepotism and less by merit. Nepotism is existent in many fields of work (which doesn't necessarily make it right or justified), but it is definitely a more prevalent ocurance in the Bollywood industry. It occurs in the business industry and in politics as well which is why these fields are considered corrupt. A lawyers son still has to get a law degree. A doctor's child still has to obtain a medical degree. An engineer still has to do engineering. Whereas in Bollywood, not only are the meaty opportunities given to star-kids but it has gone as far as taking roles away from someone to give it to a star kid. I agree that depression is a mental illness which cannot be due to a single reason or person. The constant exclusion from peers for a prolonged period of time also doesn't help the cause. Not to mention the gossiping and excessive back-bitching about Sushant within the industry which is a known fact and many have verified and spoken up about it. If you are already mentally upset without a strong support system which Sushant seemed to lack, it can push you to the edge and act as a trigger. Can't measure everyones level of tolerance using the same yard stick.
Regardless, this is an important discussion to have in order for systemic change to occur.
