Richa Chadha on Sushant Singh Rajput’s death: What unfolded post the tragedy is a visual display of ‘chita par roti sekna’

Sushant Singh Rajput’s tragic demise a can of worms was opened in Bollywood. Apart from Sushant’s fans several celebs came out seeking justice for the late actor. Richa Chadha, who knew Sushant personally, recently shared her feelings via a heartfelt blog in which she spoke not just about his death but also about the severe issues plaguing the film industry.

The ‘Panga’ actress lashed out the celebs and Bollywood biggies for showing concern over Sushant’s death. She even accused them all of shedding crocodile tears and using the ‘Kedarnath’ actor’s death for their personal agenda.

Speaking about the ‘nepotism’ debate, Richa said that it’s not true that star-kids always have it easy. “Here I present the revolutionary idea, that both things can be true. That ‘star-kids’ don’t have it easy, albeit they have it exponentially easier as compared to an ‘outsider’; and that the ‘outsider’ experience rarely has a happy ending here. Therefore, when someone asks if I suffer because I am not a “star-kid”, I declare loud and proud that in fact I am. My parents aren’t just stars, they are superstars for raising me right,” Richa wrote in her blog.

Further commenting on how hypocrite some Bollywood producers and some so-called ‘fans’ of the late actor are, Richa wrote, “This ‘blaming’ trivialises a situation as grave as this and conveniently ignores the role of mental health. I am surprised by our collective lack of dismay or shock at how low we have stooped in our discourse. The social media timelines of the deceased actor’s friends and girlfriend are littered with filth! Who are these ‘fans’? I checked out a few profiles online. The same gutter mouths that abused Sushant when he took a stand on the ‘Padmavat’ issue are now abusing his loved ones for ‘not being there’ for him. Several of these are fake fan profiles that have emerged overnight, they’re using his images to get their daily fix of online validation. Perhaps, these bots should stop looking for excuses to spout hate and just accept that they are miserable lowlifes who are vindictive. They are short-sighted. In the real world, this sad attempt to screw with the algorithm will subsume the haters themselves. This hypocrisy is strategic and pathetic. And yet, what hopes do mere mortals have, when the God of cricket can be booed at Wankhede in this country?”

The actress raised a very valid question by asking, “Put your hand over your heart and say that this moral degradation doesn’t give you sleepless nights as a parent, as a person. What unfolded post the tragedy is a visual display of what we call ‘chita par roti sekna’. I never thought a metaphor could be used so literally. I see several producers shedding crocodile tears on social media for the deceased actor. Some of them to this date are not ashamed of the fact that their checks have bounced on hapless professionals. They have made the crew beg for their own hard-earned money.”

34-year-old Rajput committed suicide on June 14 at his Bandra residence. The Mumbai Police are still investigating his death.
