Sushant Singh Rajput was one of the young, talented artists of Bollywood. He had been a part of some of the spectacular movies, ones that will always keep his name in the annals of impressive performances in Indian cinema.
He recently passed away allegedly by suicide. The whole of the industry has been in mourning, and the essential messages that SUICIDE IS NOT AN OPTION is being stressed upon as much as possible. Also, while according to media, the cause of death has been reported to be asphyxia due to hanging, his relatives have been asking for an investigation stating that Sushant wouldn't die by suicide. Whether further investigation will be conducted in this angle is yet to be seen.
With this being said, a throwback video of the actor's interview is doing rounds on social media, which is very disheartening to watch. In the interview, he speaks about his personal life. He says, "“I am very boring I will tell you honestly. I have just two friends. But I just can’t make friends - it’s not because I don’t like people - I really like people but somehow they don’t find my conversations very interesting. First time they will pretend to be liking me but then somehow they don’t take take my calls."
Towards the end of this short excerpt he says, "So, I don’t have many friends. It takes a lot to be exciting all the time, it takes a lot to make sense all the time and to pretend to know what you are saying all the time."
Watch it here!
Some of us might have seen this video in the past and wondered "He is just being modest. I'm sure he is a fun person to hangout with." What we forget is that celebrities are also humans. They also have the same innate needs like the rest of us. #SushantNoMore pic.twitter.com/ZvRVJYM0yB
