Soni Razdan gets schooled by Apurva Asrani for diagnosing late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s ‘depression and mental illness’ on Twitter

MUMBAI: Reportedly, it was depression that made Sushant Singh Rajput take a drastic step like ending his life on June 14. The internet, however, is digging out a lot of other theories that netizens feel played a part in adding to his degrading mental health; be it nepotism to allegedly getting ill-treated by certain bigwigs of the industry. Now, Bollywood writer and editor Apurva Asrani took to his Twitter and stated how certain other aspects contributed to Sushant Singh Rajput’s trauma.

In response to Asarani's tweet on KRK and blind items, Alia Bhatt’s mother Soni Razdan mentioned how people are not giving importance to depression and mental health. She wrote, “What’s really bothering me in all this is the fact that the real issue - depression and mental illness - is now obfuscated by sound and fury. The point being that depression does not need a reason to engulf a person. It comes unbidden to the successful, the rich as much as anyone else. Think Robin Williams Kate Spade Anthony Bourdain and countless others. When you talk around the main issue you do a great disservice to all those who may be also suffering and think it’s due to external circumstances when in fact it’s due to an internal one that the person suffering cannot control.”

Check out their tweets:

Attacking soft targets like KRK, while keeping mum on the more powerful 'blind item' experts is sheer hypocrisy. KRK is vile, but atleast has the guts to put his name to his opinions. Rajeev's blind items against #SushantSinghRajput are vicious & cowardly. Don't be selective.

It is hypocrisy to selectively call out journalists who hurt innocent talents with slander. I am very upset to read the blind items by Rajeev Masand in your tweet & I support you in
calling him out. But the effort to stop toxic people like KRK is genuine too. Let's stand united. https://t.co/PGkdE2PL9A

The writer, however, disagreed and schooled the veteran actress for diagnosing the late actor’s depression on Twitter. He wrote, “Untrue ma'am. Depression can be triggered by environmental factors like social isolation & a stressful workplace too. Unfair to diagnose Sushant's depression on twitter. But we do know of a campaign to label him a rapist, unprofessional & a write off. It shouldn't be covered up.”
