Having seen someone close to my heart succumb to death, it was very hard to get over it, it still is. 2018 took away a very precious person from me and what still haunts me is that I couldn't be there for him when he had needed someone. Two years later the sad demise of Sushant Singh Rajput brought back the feelings and emotions that I have been trying to bury so hard for so long.
Sushant hanged himself to death (so did he) in his apartment, probe suggests that he had clinical depression and asphyxia due to hanging as cause of death. I didn't know him personally, like many other people in the country but seeing him onscreen was an absolute delight. His social media posts threw light on the facts that he was a very thoughful, intelligent, ambitious, well read, kind and an amazing human being. The way he interacted with his fans on various platforms tells us how much of a humble and down to earth person he truly was.The star departed breaking hearts and shocking everyone. While everyone around is questioning "Why?" what we all fail to see is the pain he might have been going through. The glamour world is cruel, cold and harsh. It is even more cruel and cold to someone who is a complete outsider with no Godfather in the industry. His hard work, determination, dedication and journey will continue to inspire millions but knowing that we won't be seeing his smiling face in the interviews and his brilliant acting on silver screen breaks my heart.
What breaks my heart even more is the fact that it cost him his life to get people talking about mental illness openly. People posting about there availability for someone who needs to talk about the tough times they are going through is kind of "amusing". The reason of my amusement is very simple, there are very few who actually mean it and most of them are just following the "trend". After few days people are going to forget about it and move on as if nothing had happened . Reality is not all sunshine and rainbows. The thing is if one truly wants to help someone fighting depression all they need to do is be there for them and just listen. It actually helps a lot. Don't just post that 'I am there', be there. Often people don't want to reach out simply out of fear of being judged, laughed at or even their situation being discussed behind their backs. Be patient and understanding. Make them comfortable, show them you care so that they can open up and talk. Helplines can't always provide the help that only a friend or someone close can.
The netizens and media who are posting about mental health and postivity and are so keen in helping people out are actually the cause of it. They often don't realize how much they hurt people by passing harsh comments and bashing them mercilessly. People give way too much importance to what people post on social media platforms than feelings. On one hand they are talking about positivity and on the other they are posting rude comments on social media platforms of few celebs just because they haven't posted 'heartfelt tribute' or a 'happy selfie' for the departed actor and chose to mourn and remember him in their own way. Stop being hypocrites and stop judging. That might be a start.
Having said what I wanted to, Silence would be excellent let him rest in peace now please. He deserves it after whatever he has gone through and we have put him through. Adieu wise soul❤
