Bollywood actor and activist Swara Bhasker has come out in support of Naseeruddin Shah after he received flak for his statement allegedly against Kangana Ranaut. In supporting him, Swara Bhasker wondered why people cannot agree that Sushant was depressed indeed.
In an interview with India Today, veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah called the coverage of the actor’s death sickening and said that the investigation should happen in pursuit of death. Swara agreed to his views and said,
“I absolutely agree with Naseer sir. In fact, I have been saying this for many days. You can see it on my social media, that it’s absolutely sickening to see how social media and many media houses have started their conspiracy theories and have been fanning lies to the public.”
Naseeruddin Shah had said in the interview,
“It is absolutely sickening. I have not followed it. I felt deeply grieved when the young man died. I did not know him but he had a bright future and it was a waste of life.”
Swara Says He Could Have Really Been Depressed
Swara in her views further said,
“Why is it so difficult for people to accept that he may have been depressed? I read an article where someone said that he didn’t look depressed, what theory is that? How can someone ‘look’ it? Just because someone is famous, doesn’t mean things can’t be wrong. We as a society need to give more importance to mental health.”
As per the investigation of the Mumbai police, Sushant was being treated for a bipolar disorder before he took the drastic step on June 14th. His girlfriend and friends have attested to the fact that Sushant was under medication. In fact, the doctor who was treating the actor came out and revealed details of his treatment. However, Sushant’s family has denied any such illness and has alleged abetment of suicide against Rhea Chakraborty.
