Divyenndu Sharmaa On Media Trials: With great power comes great responsibility

Sushant Singh Rajput’s death seems to be getting a new turn with every passing day. The death investigation seems to finally be coming to a close and many reports claim that the death was indeed by suicide. However, what followed after Sushant’s death was a total media fare where everyday something or the other was been reported, and many times with facts and figures even unchecked. While many celebs have kept quiet on the matter, many have opened up and given their piece on mind.

A few weeks back Bollywood Bubble caught up with Divyenndu Sharmaa about the ongoing media circus in Bollywood after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. Here’s what he had to say:

Divyendu was very candid in his response and didn’t budge out from calling a spade a spade. He said, “Media has got such a big power to get out the facts and represent each side of the story. It’s a great power and like they say ‘With great power comes great responsibility’. So you need to tread very carefully in situations like these. It (Sushant Singh Rajput’s death) is such an unfortunate incident and the whole country is still trying to comprehend something like this. So a lot of questions also come into play, but the media has to realise that they have a very big responsibility. They need to be sincere and respectable in whatever they say and how they say it. Bring out the facts only if you know that it’s a fact and not just go by prime time viewing and number of hits on your website. So we all need to be very sensitive. Think twice before we say anything especially in a sensitive case like this.”

We must say very well said!

Talking of Divyenndu Sharmaa, he is all set to be back on screen with ‘Mirzapur 2’ on October 23. The trailers of the show have been massively successful and people are raving about it. Divyenndu has been, as usual, in top form. Even at the trailer launch, Divyenndu opened up about how ‘Mirzapur’ has become one of the most popular shows of all time with people making memes and dialogues from the show becoming common lingo.

We all are waiting with bated breath for season 2 to start streaming. Till then, stay hooked onto Bollywood Bubble.
