Yesterday, everyone shook to the core of getting the news of the demise of one of the Bollywood’s amazing actor and a great human being from the heart, Sushant Singh Rajput. What was more shocking was the fact that he ended his own life by committing suicide in his home in Mumbai. While the world is dealing with a virus that has taken the world by a storm, there are still some viruses related to the concept of ‘human mental health’ that needs immediate vaccine: the one that makes one feel “we are not alone”.
The person who was more than an actor, with his adorable smile has always been the kindest and down to earth. An AIR 7 in DCE, an engineer who left the college after 3 years to pursue acting, Sushant was a role model for millions of people. He was an ambitious human who had a very different perspective towards life and his curiosity about diverse topics was pretty evident from what he used to post on his social media platforms. Once, he shared his 50 unique lists of his dreams emphasizing glamour wasn’t the only thing he wanted in his life, it was more than that. The list had dreams such as “dive in a blue-hole”, “play chess with a champion”, “be an ambidextrous archer”, “learn kriya yoga” etc. He wanted to make an impact on the education of students and was involved in multiple on-field activities for the same. He used to donate his money on someone’s else behalf, the kind of soul that we need in this world. For instance, once a fan commented on a post that he cannot donate money to Kerela Flood victims due to lack of it, Sushant replied that he will donate Rs 1 crore from his fan’s behalf.
He started his acting career with TV serial ‘Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil’ (2008) and shot to fame with another soap opera ‘Pavitra Rishta’. He also participated in the dance show ‘Jhalak Dikh laa jaa’ where he was the first runner up. His Bollywood career was great. His first movie was ‘Kai Po Che’ for which he won multiple awards. He has then acted in multiple films, ‘Chicoche’ being the last one where the main message was to live life and that quantifying success is not everything. It’s all about giving your best. One of the best characters that he played was the one where he portrayed the former Indian captain, ‘MS Dhoni’. Dhoni- The untold story was such a huge success that people couldn’t differentiate between the reel and the real hero. But seems like there are a lot of things that were undiscovered about him and his own story was something that should have got the attention.
The media highlighted after he was gone that he was suffering from depression from the past 6 months. A man who had almost everything that one can think of was deep down the loneliest person. Social media was full of messages, posts, and comments about what and why it happened. The concept of mental health was again emphasized yesterday and how important it is to reach out to someone you can trust upon.
The mystery of how and why it happened will be a topic of discussion for some time after which it will disappear and only the ones who loved him, the family members, some true fans, and few friends will be impacted. A person who was philosophical and was so vibrant on social media and award shows didn’t deserve an end so soon. It is extremely important to live a life where one is generous for everything and towards everyone. A sweet nudge can make someone’s day.
Let’s start appreciating people for even their tiniest of efforts and make them feel humane. Let’s inspire people to come out as natural as they want to. Let’s take one step towards positivity so that no other human can feel ending this beautiful gift of life.

Never let down anyone’s voice”
