//SUICIDE PREVENTION HELPLINES AND COUNSELLING HELP A GREAT DEAL IN PREVENTING SUICIDES. DIAL 104 / SNEHA - 044 24640050 FOR HELP IN TAMIL NADU
Bollywood actor Sushanth Singh Rajput's shocking demise has sent not only his fans and well-wishers into a state of unrest but also the film fraternity and the general public. While on one hand the importance of mental health and its implications are being seen in a serious light once again, on the other Rajput's death which has been ruled as a result of 'hanging' from the preliminary postmortem reports has brought a lot to the shore.
A devasted family of the 34 year old actor has stated in the media that they would like a further investigation in the incident as they suspect foul play. "We are leaving for Mumbai now. The last rites will be performed there. We can't believe that he is no more. If needed we will ask for investigation as well", said BJP MLA Niraj Kumar Singh Babloo who is a close relative of the late actor.
While the Additional Commissioner of Police Dr. Manoj Sharma confirmed that Sushanth Singh Rajput died of suicide, his family members have explicitly stated that they suspect he was murdered. Added to this, people working in the Bollywood film industry have started speaking up about the tongues that wagged behind Sushanth when he was still alive, causing the internet to go off on how that is a ill-contributing factor to one's state of mind.
Bollywood is full of self obsessed, egocentric & shallow people. What they care for is their image and money. SSR was sensitive and sincere person who needed help. Someone cd have just talked it out with him ! That’s All it takes.

Didn’t know him at all. Never met him I think. But was tossing and turning all night. I’ve seen Patna and I’ve seen Bandra. It’s a long journey in 34 years. Can’t fathom what hurt him so hard. Sleep well boy!!!

Popular Bollywood director-producer Karan Johar even went on to admit (thus inviting a lot of flak) that he regrets not reaching out to Sushant when he clearly knew the actor was in need of help.
Sushanth Singh Rajput's previous statements where he said he wasn't invited to Bollywood parties anymore or that a failure of one film affects an 'outsider' 10 times more have also resurfaced along with an infamous tweet from an industry tracker claiming that the actor was banned from working in major Bollywood production houses.
