Sushant Singh Rajput Death: VJ Ayesha Adlakha Reveals They Discussed Suicide The First Time They Met
Sushant Singh Rajput death has not only left the entertainment industry in shock but also triggered a discussion about depression and mental illnesses. Many actors took to social media to express grief over the actor's demise and also to talk about the importance of a dialogue around mental health. Model and VJ Ayesha Adlakha also took to social media to recall how she and Sushant Singh Rajput had spoken about suicide, the value of life, the need for thrill and the purpose of existence.

"The
very
FIRST
time
I
met
him
was
at
his
Bandra
house
and
we
spoke
about
suicide.
I
remember
us
looking
down
from
his
balcony
which
was
quite
a
few
storeys
up
and
he
asked
what
it
would
feel
like
if
we
jumped.
It
catapulted
us
into
a
conversation
about
the
value
of
life,
the
need
for
thrill,
the
purpose
of
existence-
stuff
I've
loved
since
I
was
a
teenager.
It
was
an
enthralling
conversation,
we
laughed,
we
drank
and
I
went
back
home
with
my
friends."
She revealed that although they weren't close, she felt Sushant was a thoughtful person! She further wrote, "I won't say we were close. But I do feel very confused today. He came across as a self-aware, thoughtful person. He was inquisitive, full of questions but not in a reclusive, dejected way. He was different from all the other jaded famous people I met because he had all this energy and optimism. Never flashy, very respectful. And fun. I recall seeing a #bucketlist he had put out on his feed & thinking it was ambitious to say the least but also very philanthropic, interesting."
The VJ concluded by writing, "I just cannot wrap my head around what's happened. I don't know the words he used in his head. I wish he had a bouncing board to stop him in his tracks. It just goes to show that the strongest, woke-est, most stable individuals can be at-risk mentally. The calmest minds can snap and NOBODY is an island. @sushantsinghrajput was not an island. Some timely help could've prevented this. Ask yourself, do you need to talk?"
