Sushant Demise: The Truth Of Bollywood

Politician Sanjay Nirupam has qualified director Shekhar Kapur's oblique tweet on SSR being "let down" by the film fraternity. He alleges that Sushant signed 7 movies after the success of his 2019 movie Chhichhore, only to lose all 7 in a matter of 6-months.

He did not specify the movies. Sushant was found dead at his flat and police say he died by suicide. His death has sparked severe criticism of the Bollywood, many of whom declared them shattered. Very few of those who posted actually attended the funeral of actor and not a single A-lister was among them.

Sanjay Nirupam was at the funeral, as were actors Shraddha Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Rajkumar Rao, and Vivek Oberoi, and filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor who gave Sushant Singh Rajput his break in Bollywood.

In his tweet, written in Hindi, Sanjay Nirupam wrote that the cruelty of the Bollywood operates on another level and that it killed a talented artiste.

Sanjay Nirupam's words bolster those of director Shekhar Kapur, who cast Sushant in the delayed project Paani. In a cryptic tweet posted after the actor's death, Kapur referred to "people that let you down so bad that you would weep on my shoulder.”

Public anger has focused itself on filmmaker Karan Johar, producer of Sushant Singh Rajput's last release, the Netflix project Drive. Karan Johar, who wrote a self-recriminatory note after Sushant Singh Rajput's death blaming him for not having been in touch for the past year, did not attend the funeral. Karan Johar and actress Alia Bhatt are also being criticized online for having spoken disparagingly of Sushant on the chat show Koffee With Karan, onto which Sushant was never invited.
