Earlier TV actor Karan Patel called out the hypocrisy of people sharing “reach out” posts on social media and urged them to offer help only if they were ready to follow through on it. According to The Times of India, ‘Udaan’ actor Rajat Barmecha has shared a video expressing similar sentiments on condolence posts after Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.
He was quoted saying, “People are saying how the industry has lost such a brilliant actor, how he was such an amazing human being, how my heart aches to see this day. But my problem here is why now? Why you say these things now and you never did that when the person was there? Maybe that was the thing that the person wanted to hear. You didn’t give a f*ck back then.”
Hindustan Times quoted him adding,
“When his film Drive came on Netflix and it bombed, people had such awful things to say. When an actor starts his career and a few things go wrong, people are so quick to pull that person down. It doesn’t take you a minute to say that ‘arre career khatam ho gaya’, ‘can’t do anything’.”
He even gave his personal example saying,
“For the past 10 years, I have answered this question ki ‘Arre Udaan ke baad which is the next big film, when is it coming?’ Did any of you, any person ever, write to me on my social media and ask me what is the growth I have had as a person in the past 10 years?”
He urged people not to use terms like ‘mental health’ just to follow trends but genuinely mean them. He asked people to disassociate growth from professional success and focus on personal achievements as well.
