Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death
by
suicide
has
thrown
light
upon
the
pressures
of
sustaining
a
career
in
the
unpredictable
Hindi
film
industry.
Reacting
to
Sushant's
death,
actor
Samir
Soni
had
written
in
a
shocking
Instagram
post,
that
it
could
have
very
well
been
him.
In
a
recent
interview,
he
opened
up
about
what
he
meant
by
that.
Samir
said
that
he
could
relate
to
the
darkness
that
Sushant
might
have
faced,
and
that
he
understands
the
pressures
of
a
show
business.
Speaking
to
Hindustan
Times,
Samir
opened
up
about
the
structure
of
the
entertainment
industry
which
makes
people
working
in
it,
vulnerable.
"I
understand
the
immense
pressures
of
showbiz
which
is
why
I
wrote
that.
This
business
is
volatile
and
unpredictable.
There
is
no
consistency
or
no
structure
in
a
career.
Many
aspirants
are
only
after
the
glamour.
It
can
get
frustrating
if
after
working
non-stop,
you
have
no
work
for
months.
Every
actor
goes
through
this
and
it
can
be
tough
for
many.
One
hit
makes
you
famous
but
give
a
few
flops,
and
people
might
forget
you.
The
extremes
are
so
high
that
it
affects
people," he
said.
He
continued,
"In
a
low
phase,
sometimes,
one
can't
see
light
beyond
the
darkness.
You
wait
for
that
one
phone
call
which
can
change
your
career.
I
have
been
there
and
so
I
could
relate
to
the
darkness.
One
has
to
be
very
strong
mentally
to
survive
in
this
business.
It
is
not
just
about
talent
but
also
ability
to
cope
with
the
ups
and
downs.
Also,
we
have
to
understand
that
this
is
a
business
at
the
end
of
it
all,
so
it
is
not
just
about
talent
but
an
actor's
destiny
and
luck
too.
I'd
tell
young
actors
to
act
because
you
enjoy
acting
but
be
prepared
for
the
long
waiting
period
between
projects
too.
Even
now,
due
to
Covid-19,
a
number
of
films
will
suffer
and
so
will
the
careers
of
number
of
actors,
directors,
producers
and
technicians."
Although
Sushant
did
not
leave
a
note
when
he
hung
himself
on
June
14,
2020,
it
is
being
speculated
that
it
was
because
he
was
suffering
from
depression.

well-being
