Everyone is really in a state of shock with Sushant Singh Rajput, the handsome and talented Bollywood actor’s sudden death.
Although the police report claims the cause of death to be suicide, many netizens feel that the actor was tortured by the film industry to take such extreme step.
Even two days after the actor’s death, Twitter users are sharing their views on how Bollywood kills the talent and appreciates only the daughters and sons of the actors, producers and filmmakers.
Why people with real talent and hard-work don’t get the appreciation they deserve and why people with zero skills get lucky with more work in Bollywood only because they have references or preference, is what netizens on social media keep asking. Real and self-made stars are not looked upto but star kids grab all the attention, the issue which has been bothering the minds of netizens nowadays.
Below are some tweets on the trend #JusticeForSushantSinghRajput:
1) SSR topped the competition & scored an All India Rank of 7 in Delhi College of Engineering.
Didn’t hesitate to drop out in 3rd year to pursue dream of Actor.
Struggle of years couldn’t kill him.
But Bully Bollywood Broke such strong Young Mind. #JusticeForSushantSinghRajput
2) #JusticeForSushantSinghRajput StarKids will never understand what real struggle means. They get everything readymade they don’t have much ability to get the film’s by their acting skills. Majority of them get movies because their family belong to Bollywood background. IAmWithSSR.
3) Reality of this world is we never bother people when alive but when they die we will tweet as if we care #JusticeForSushantSinghRajput #starkid
Many netizens are blaming top directors, popular actors and filmmakers for boycotting Sushant from their parties, events and award functions.
Even actor turned politician Prakash Raj shared a video in which, Sushant Singh Rajput talks about nepotism. He says, “Nepotism is everywhere. It’s not just in Bollywood. But at the same time if you deliberately don’t allow right talents to come up, then there is a problem. Then the whole structure of the industry would collapse one day.”
Sushant was last seen in superhit film Chhichhore, which was released in September 2019. His last film, Dil Bechara, based on John Green’s novel The Fault in Our Stars, is set to release on a famous OTT platform soon.
