Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi was among the celebrities who attended Sushant Singh Rajput’s funeral, which took place in Mumbai on Monday. After paying his last respects to the 34-year-old actor, Vivek took to Twitter to share how attending the funeral was “heartbreaking.”
The actor wrote a heartfelt note, suggesting Sushant’s untimely demise is a wake-up call for everyone.
He mentioned how the industry needs to introspect and become a place “where an artist feels appreciated and not manipulated.”
“When I saw his father today, having to light the fire at the cremation, the pain in his eyes was unbearable, when I heard his sister weeping, begging him to come back, I can’t express how deeply tragic it felt.
I hope our industry that calls itself a family, does some serious introspection, we need to change for the better, we need to b***h less and care more, less power play and more grace and large heartedness, less ego trips and more acknowledgement for deserving talents, this family needs to truly become a family…a place where talent is nurtured and not crushed, a place where an artist feels appreciated and not manipulated,” he wrote.
Vivek Oberoi wished that Sushant Singh Rajput stopped to think of his family, friends and fans “who are feeling this tragic loss today” as he would have realised “how much people CARE!” -Indian Express
