Sukhwinder Singh Opens Up On Drug Racket In The Film Industry, Says ‘A Lot Of People Are Trying To Convert It Into A Tamasha’
Singer Sukhwinder Singh though doesn’t deny the existence of the drug in industry, he feels film fraternity is targeted the most
After Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, an entire drug nexus was exposed that got big names from the industry hitting the headline. Reacting to this, singer Sukhwinder Singh spoke at length with Hindustan Times on how the film fraternity is solely being held responsible for the drug charges and termed as the core of the problem. Though he doesn’t deny drugs' existence in the industry, he believes the film industry is targeted the most. He also spoke about 2020 having hit everyone in the most negative way.
He begins with “Itna negative hota jaa raha hai, it started with Coronavirus, then Sushant’s (Singh Rajput) death, then the thing with China. Drugs are something that is there in the entire world, yet only the film industry (is singled out).” Further, he sheds light on how his workplace, i.e. the film industry has been picked on, calling all sorts of bad names. Also, he speaks about a lot of hard work and dedication invested in building an image, followed by a star garnering a lot of attention from his/her fans.
He says, “Stardom is built with a lot of hard work and dedication. There also comes a phase when people yearn to get a glimpse of these celebs. Social media gives an opportunity, you can’t be seen, so you can say whatever you want.”
He also states when drug rackets come to the surface, people, pick on ones who are caught but not the ones who supply them these banned substances. He suggests hence one should focus on the ones supplying it and put an end to this racket. He says, “Maamla jadd se khatam ho jaayega. Our actors can claim today that they take it in small quantities to improve their mood and that a lot of people in the rest of the parts in India lie in the lap of death the whole day. They at least go and shoot, do shows, etc., but those people sit on the roads or near the gutter. Here (in the industry), the percentage must be five, par badnaami 100 percent mil rahi hai.” ALSO READ: Sushant Singh Rajput Death: NCB Raids Residence Of Deepika Padukone’s Manager; Official Reveals They Found Charas And CBD Oil-Report
Also recalling the time when he sang a song titled Bidi Jalai Le from Omkara, without noticing this being happening in real life too. He added further, “Hum logon ko doodh, malai jitna bhi de do khaa lenge. Drugs utna hai nahi film industry mein jitna ragad diya gaya hai.” Favouring the industry, he states if drugs would have been in the industry, the way it is shown in the media, nobody would be able to function, also the consumption of drugs is a crime, but the people are blowing this out of proportion. While nobody is trying to save the industry, he feels it has become easier for trolls to target the film fraternity people.
“If there were drugs to that extent, then they wouldn’t even have been able to even go to shoot! Par maatra 1 ho ya 100, consider toh gunaah hi kiya jaata hai na. A lot of people are trying to convert it into a tamasha. Nobody is trying to save their industry. People who are trolling, they are happy and think ‘Hum kabhi Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh ya Varun Dhawan se mil nahi sakte, chalo unki band bajaate hain’,” he added.
