The devastating news of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has divided social media into two. Even as the actor’s family prepares for his funeral at the Pawan Hans crematorium at Vile Parle, Mumbai, several Bollywood actors and filmmakers have called for an inward look, questioning the role of ‘Bollywood mafia’ in the apparent suicide of a 34-year-old promising actor, who managed to carve his niche in the industry without a Godfather.
Kangana Ranaut, who has always been extremely vocal about the issue, released a video on social media reiterating the same.
In the 2-odd-minute video, shared by the official Instagram handle of Team Kangana Ranaut, Kangana says, “Sushant Singh Rajput ki maut ne humein jhinjhor ke rakh diya hai, magar kuch is mein bhi ek parallel narrative chala rahe hai. Woh ye ki jinka dimaag kamzor hota hai woh depression mein aate hai aur suicide kar lete hai. Jo banda Stanford ki scholarship…woh rank-holder hai apne engineering ke entrance ki, uska dimaag kamzor kaise ho sakta hai? (Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has left all of us devastated, but some are looking for a parallel narrative even here. That whoever has a weak mind, they slip into depression and kill themselves. A guy who has a scholarship from Stanford… he is a rank holder of his engineering entrance, how can his mind be weak?)”
