Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide has sparked off a conversation around the raw realities of the world of show business, – especially for ‘outsiders’ with an aspiration to become a Bollywood star.
Among the many names who called out the hypocrisy of several industry insiders for their ‘empty’ notes of condolences, was director Shekhar Kapur, who in a shocking tweet, revealed that he knew the people who let Sushant down.
“I knew the pain you were going through. I knew the story of the people that let you down so bad that you would weep on my shoulder. I wish I was around the last 6 months. I wish you had reached out to me,” he said in a tweet.

“What happened to you was their Karma. Not yours. #SushantSinghRajput” he added.
On Tuesday, the director shared some ‘lessons of Life’ in a tweet that read, “Humility Vulnerability. Passion. Devotion. Essentials to any form of creativity. Even film making. Producers often and unfortunately see these qualities as weaknesses to be taken advantage of.”

His tweets prompted fans to request him to reveal the names of the industry insiders he was hinting about. Demanding #JusticeForSushantSinghRajput, fans flooded the director’s twitter handle urging him to speak up and in turn ‘save lives’ of others like Sushant.

Kapur finally replied to all the requests but refused to divulge any names. He simply said, “Naming few people has no value. They themselves are products and victims of a ‘system’ everyone is protesting against. If you really care, if you’re really angry, then bring down the system. Not the individual. That’s guerilla warfare. Not a spurt of anger.”
