Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely death shook the entire nation to the core and his fans and friends are mourning over his death. Many Bollywood celebs took to their social media handle and expressed their grief for the actor. However, netizens along with some filmmakers started calling out ‘Big industry people’ for their double standards and hypocrisy. Nevertheless, Saif Ali Khan also feels the same and thinks that the sudden love for Sushant Singh Rajput after his death from the film industry is ‘a little much to digest.’ He thinks that a day of silence or introspection would have been nice instead of pretending to care.
In an interview with The Times of India, Saif called the news of Sushant’s death ‘just awful’ and was quoted saying, “There are so many people who’ve made comments so quickly. And it just seems to me that people are somewhere gaining some mileage from this poor fellow’s tragedy, you know, whether it’s to show compassion or to show interest or to show some political stance. So many people are talking rubbish in this nonstop kind of barrage on social media and it’s just embarrassing, really, I think.”
“Out of respect for him, for Sushant’s tragedy, maybe a day of silence or introspection would be a little more becoming than this outpouring of love – an outpouring of love from people who obviously didn’t care about him and people who famously don’t care about anybody else,” he further quipped to the portal.
Saif bluntly said that the film industry doesn’t care about anybody and to pretending is like the ‘ultimate hypocrisy’ which is an ‘insult’ to Sushant. He said, “I mean, we don’t care about anybody. You know, it’s a very cutthroat line of work. But to pretend that you do care is like the ultimate hypocrisy and I think that’s an insult to the dead, you know, it’s an insult to the soul that’s gone.” ALSO READ: Swara Bhasker Defends Karan Johar-Alia Bhatt Over Nepotism Debate; Says 'Stop Taking Your Frustration Out Using Sushant Singh Rajput's Death'
The Jawaani Jaaneman actor also talked about his tragic death, “We will all assume that this terrible thing happened to him because of his films. There is more to life. Maybe he was upset about other things in his life. Maybe it was a personal reason. Maybe it’s nothing to do with films. If you can’t see beyond that, you will put everything on that – the movies you do,” he said.
