Amaal Mallik Says Kartik Aaryan Is Being Targeted Like Sushant Singh Rajput: Big Actors Want Him...

Amaal Mallik has stirred concern among Kartik Aaryan's fans with his recent statements. He claims that Bollywood is attempting to marginalise Kartik, similar to what happened with Sushant Singh Rajput. Amaal believes that influential producers and actors are part of this scheme to push Kartik out of the industry.

Sushant Singh Rajput's tragic death on June 14, 2020, at his Bandra home in Mumbai, shocked the nation. The postmortem indicated suicide by hanging due to asphyxia. No suicide note was found, and there were no signs of struggle or foul play. His passing ignited debates on mental health and nepotism in Bollywood.

Bollywood's Dark Side

In an interview with Mirchi Plus, Amaal Mallik discussed Bollywood's darker aspects. He stated, "The public has understood the reality of this industry… itni dark hai ki logo ki life chali gayi. Sushant Singh Rajput nahi handle kar paaye. Jo bhi unke saath hua, some blame it as murder, some blame it as suicide. Jo bhi ho, aadmi toh chala gaya na."

Amaal further elaborated on the industry's impact on individuals' mental well-being. He mentioned how people within the industry demoralised Sushant Singh Rajput, leading to a shift in public sentiment against Bollywood. "Yeh industry aisi jagah hai," he said.

Kartik Aaryan's Struggles

Amaal drew parallels between Sushant's experiences and Kartik Aaryan's current situation. He noted that despite facing similar challenges, Kartik continues to persevere with a smile. "Aaj aap dekho, vohi cheezein, indirectly ya directly Kartik Aaryan ke saath karne ka bhi try karte hain log," he explained.

He also highlighted the support system Kartik has in his family. "But uske peeche uske mummy, papa sab saath hain to support and guide him," Amaal remarked. Despite being a newcomer who has achieved success, many powerful figures aim to remove him from the scene.

Public Reaction

The aftermath of Sushant Singh Rajput's death led to widespread outrage across India. It prompted discussions about mental health awareness and nepotism within Bollywood. Political leaders joined the public in remembering Sushant and called for better mental health support nationwide.
