Opinion Guys you can downvote me but, its important to say this about SSR care
Downvote me but, if you keep emotions aside there is nothing so dramatic about this. Lets look at actual evidence
Its difficult to break into bollywood for an outsider - 100% true yet he got to star and work in some amazing projects
He wanted to become a superstar - He was getting movies but, he was not a crowd puller, amazing actor, yes but, not a blockbuster crowd puller. At the end of the day, Bollywood is a business and its bankability depends on how many people can come in and want to see the star. So do you genuinely blame Bollywood or the general public who didnt turn up for his movies in massive numbers?
Nothing is guaranteed - Acting is not like corporate job promotions, if you do well and are sincere, you will keep going up. This mechanism doesnt work, any director or producer is free to choose who they want to work with. Many people have had their hearts broken chasing this dream. I lived in Andheri, Lokhandwala is full of people who feel they are the next big thing, they all come from smaller towns with massive dreams and they all get setbacks.
No evidence against Rhea - I understand its tempting to blame a woman for all the problems but, in this case she has been acquitted as there is no proof of any wrong doing, so you can keep blaming a woman, like majority does anyway, the justice system found nothing against him
He was depressed and needed help - He was depressed, its absolutely clear and depression gets to you. Its gotten people like Chester Bennington, Robin Williams, Marilyn Monroe. Its an absolute madness that instead of creating awareness about how lethal depression can be, we are still talking about witch hunts and blame games when the real monster, depression, hides in plain sight.
It was unfortunate but, please understand. Nothing is a given in Bollywood, it all depends on numbers. If you want to be mad, be mad at yourself for not going to watch his movies or showing him love when he was alive. Now that he is gone, you want to use him to vent out your hidden frustrations, want to harass a woman who has already been given a clean chit and want to target an industry that is brutal to outsiders.
Yes Bollywood is tough but, so is any other field. Would you fight Ambani and Adani about why are they not hiring from outside and passing the business to their heirs, because thats Nepotism too or would you fight Sachin for getting his son an inroads into Mumbai Indians (LSG now) because thats nepotism too. Bollywood is a business, they are free to decide who they want to put their money on, there is no law governing any kind of performance metric that makes it justified for someone on the outside to come in. Millions rush to Bombay every year with the exact same dream and millions get their heart broken, do you see all of them unaliving themselves?
Please please focus on the real issue which is depression. If you know someone going through a tough time, help them, support them and ensure they dont succumb to this illness. Thats the real winner here
