Jitendra Kumar On Blaming The Film Industry For Sushant Singh Rajput’s Death
The tragic death by suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput, has brought into light, the debate on nepotism and lack of good opportunities for talented people. Many are accusing those who hold privilege within the industry, as creating a stifling atmosphere for skilled artists to shine.
Jitendra Kumar, who made his big Bollywood debut with the film Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan this year, is cautious about putting the blame on the film industry.
Talking about Sushant's death, Jitendra told Hindustan Times, "First of all, it's sad and shocking. It's not about the film industry, this is a problem everywhere. I feel the film industry is more visible and exposed, so it's more out there. But, the problem is there in every industry."
Talking
about
people
taking
their
own
lives,
Jitendra
said
that
it
is
very
sad
when
it
happens,
and
that
it
can
be
avoided
by
simply
talking
about
it
with
others.
He
continued,
"It's
alarming.
As
an
industry,
we
should
take
care
of
each
other,
look
out
for
one
another.
If,
in
any
case,
we
feel
that
something
is
off,
we
must
share
it.
It's
all
about
connection
and
connectivity.
We
do
neglect
a
lot
of
things
in
general
-
we
don't
talk
to
family,
friends
or
siblings.
We
must
reach
out."
Like many other celebrities who are underlining the importance of mental health, Jitendra also said, "First comes health, both physical and mental. It's important to involve people in your life and keep yourself happy. Help people and help yourself."
Sushant ended his life on June 14, 2020. He was found hanging in his Mumbai apartment.
