What Sushant went through is unfortunate..but.. man, Salman, SRK, Akshay still get made fun of even after 30 years so what's the big deal if Sushant did? Karan Johar is massacred regularly.. do you think the industry doesn't laugh behind his back for his sexuality and the way he talks and dresses?
Again, disgusting blinds are written about everyone too. In the last 5 or 6 years, there have been blinds about SRK having affairs with Deepika, Katrina, Alia, Kanika Kapoor, Priyanka, Urvashi Rautela and probably more. Akshay is always connected to B-listers like Radhika Apte and Kriti Sanon. Blinds said he was part of #metoo and was paying off people to hide it - I think it hinted at Aditi Rao Hydari. Salman is said to have a debauched brothel at his farmhouse even though they literally had their families and children with them. People are called druggies and womanizers based on blinds. Who is not being hit with blinds?
Celebs get targeted by politicians and Chief Ministers, called terrorists, told to go to Pakistan and regularly are harassed on twitter.
Why are people hell bent on this fake narrative that Sushant was this solitary figure that the entire industry ganged up against?
When you become a celebrity and a public figure, everyone is going to talk badly about you whenever they want, whether it's true or false. They're compensated by fans who love them and a huge bank account.
Sushant gave up because he has his own mental issues but he faced whatever almost everyone in the industry faces.
I get what you're trying to say. And some of the things you said are true. But we can't compare one persons mental tolerance with another.
Things weren't as toxic as they are now when SRK Salman and Akshay debuted. SRK ripped everyone apart if they messed with him(at sushants age) . Sushant was shy and meek.
As strong as SRK was even he shut his SM few years ago because things got to toxic for him. Everyone knows SRK was depressed after the zero fiasco, but he has family and friends and kids too bring him out. Salman has bajillion court cases against him I doubt he cares anymore. He's use to this. Plus he's got a big fat family to support him.
There are some who can handle the hate and pressure and there are some who can't.
Everyone at the end of the day sits back and says that "the industry is tough, not everyone can make it".
But why can't we make it less tough. Why can't the industry be less toxic. If this movement helps bollywood be less vicious then why not. How long are we gunna watch starkids get roles served on a platter.
Maybe sushants dead is a catalyst. Some things gotta happen, can't let his death go to vain. Yea he had his demons, he was suffering from depression. But this industry has at least half to blame for it.
We can't just shrug and say Bollywood is hard each time something happens. People's lives have value. Thousand of people that have died because of this industry had value. Things have to change and it has to start from somewhere.
