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 Iwas around the last 6 months. I wish you had reached out to me. What happened to you was their Karma. Not yours. #SushantSinghRajput

Shekhar Kapur was to make ‘Paani’ under Yash Raj Film’s banner, with Sushant Singh Rajput but it didn’t happen.

Sushant had very few friends in the industry. His stylist Leepakshi Ellawadi told ETimes, “As far as I know, he had friends who were from a simple background and they were not the film people. He told me that most of his friends are from his school and college but thodi bahut friendship yahan bhi karni padti hai.”

Sushant’s death is a wake-up call for all the privileged filmmakers who don’t allow the right talent to come up. Even during one of the IIFA Awards, Sushant said, “Well, yes nepotism is there and it’s everywhere. It’s just not in Bollywood. So yeah, you can’t do anything about it but yes… Nepotism can co-exist and nothing would happen. But at the same time, if you deliberately don’t allow right talent to come up, then there is a problem. Then the whole structure of the industry would collapse one day.”
