‘They’d Throw Me Out Of Bollywood,’ Sushant’s Anxiety Shared By Some Old Fans

Without having any godfather support or a shadow of nepotism, Sushant Singh Rajput carved his own talent and excelled at it by being in Bollywood. However, it’s tragic that he was at the peak of his career when he suffered from depression in the last few years.

Sushant was a dedicated actor and not able to make friends in Bollywood was his biggest anxiety. He grew apprehensive about his career as, in the past, he had mentioned many times, to his friends and to the media that ‘They’d me out of Bollywood.’

Many of his acquaintances and a few celebrities have said that they saw this coming. Even director Mukesh Bhatt said that he “saw it coming”. As now most of the stars are posting comments about how they feel sorry and wish they could have been there for him when he needed support.

At times our movie industry's hypocrisy gets to me. High &mighty announcing they shud ve kept in touch wth Sushant..
Cmon u didn't! &thts coz his career dipped. So STFU! R u in touch with Imran Khan, Abhay Deol &others? No!
But u were, whn they were doing well#SushantSinghRajput

The Bollywood Privilege Club must sit down and think hard tonight.

PS- Now don't ask me to elaborate any further.

It’s no secret Sushant was going through very tough times for the last few years. No one in the industry stood up for him nor did they lend a helping hand. To tweet today is the biggest display of how shallow the industry really is. No one here is your friend. RIP ✨ pic.twitter.com/923qAM5DkD

Sushant Singh was taking treatment for depression. If reports are to be believed, he had a fallout with Aditya Chopra, which whom he had signed a multi-million deal. It is said that he felt sidelined, and hence, he walked away from a rather lucrative contract after doing only two films Shuddh Desi Romance and Detective Byomkesh Bakshi.  He also also upset after YRF backed out of Shekhar Kapur’s Paani, his ambitious project on which he worked for months.

Dear Sushant, there was so much more you had to offer. Perhaps the world was not up to your beliefs.. you should not have gone like this …but then you were an old wise soul in a restless young body. Often the heavens cannot handle that .. pic.twitter.com/OJG4IzotRk

I knew the pain you were going through. I knew the story of the people that let you down so bad that you would weep on my shoulder. I wish Iwas around the last 6 months. I wish you had reached out to me. What happened to you was their Karma. Not yours. #SushantSinghRajput

Dibakar Banerjee, who worked with the “vulnerable and intense” Sushant in Detective Byomkesh Bakshy, said that he admired the fact that Rajput was “trying to make it on his own in a world structured around nepotism, cronyism and camps”.

“This is what led me to cast Sushant as a vulnerable, inexperienced and intense Byomkesh out on his first case where everyone else dismissed him as a rookie,” he told Indian Express.

“It’s no secret Sushant was going through very tough times for the last few years. No one in the industry stood up for him nor did they lend a helping hand. To post about him today is the biggest display of how shallow the industry really is. No one here is your friend. RIP,” Celebrity stylist Sapna Bhavnani wrote on Twitter.
