The Sad Incident
There has been a very heart breaking and tragic incident in the B-town where an extremely talented and young actor Shushant Singh Rajput commited suicide on 14th June 2020. It shattered the whole nation. A young man of mere 34 hanged himself. As always all the bollywood celebs came out to show their condolences to the actor.
He was going through depression. Indeed a very very serious mental ailment in which all the negatives surround a person and forces him/her to take such a bad decision. Sushant was a big celebrity so the mass started feeling so bad for him but let’s talk only about India then according to a survey about 2,30,000 indians commit suicide every year and 800K people world wide. This shows how extreme this mental ailment is.
Sadly it is yet a stigma in India. People tend to hide this disease. They think that the behaviour of people around them might change if they talk about the condition they are going through.
Still I think that stigma is a penny worth better than opportunity. As always all the big celebrities of Bollywood started expressing their so called unwanted grief on his demise. Let’s see some of them.
The Opportunists
Karan Johar indeed the mafia of Nepotism in Bollywood. It’s as if his sole purpose of life is to establish the star kids into films, doesn’t matter if they have acting abilities or not. What good would he do to blame himself. He also expressed his sorrow on Jiah Khan’s suicide in 2013. He had the time to give employment to Ananya Pandey who thinks that touching nose with tongue is a talent and she has been blessed with that but Karan Johar couldn’t help Sushant.
Now that we are talking about Opportunists then how can we leave the queen of it, Miss Kangana Ranaut. She has been constantly vocal for outsiders in the industry and thrashing Nepotism which is all good so let’s see when most of us first heard about Nepotism in Bollywood although it has been there since decades. It was 2017 when Kangana Ranaut went as a guest in “Koffe With Karan” a chat show on “Star World” to promote her movie “Rangoon”. She went into the show with “Saif Ali Khan” her co-star in the film. Let’s see the viral clip of her from the show when she talked about Nepotism.
What a brave lady she is, isn’t it? Let’s see what she has to say about the death of Sushant.
So again just like Shekhar Kapur. She knows what happened still she is not naming them. Also she is saying that “Chhichhore” was a good movie but not “Gully Boy” which won a lot of awards. So let’s see what Miss Ranaut has to say months before the death of Sushant.
But is it the first time Miss Ranaut has played the victim card or defamed someone without any base or have being hypocrite? Let’s find out
Let’s see her views on Feminism.
But no worries she can still laugh hysterically on “Rape Joke”. By the courtesy of SpotboyE let’s see.
So what do you think of her? Do you think she is honest about what she says? Atleast the top media companies and a hell lot of people do think that Miss Ranaut is the Messiah of outsiders in Bollywood. Let’s see.
So did I help you realise how these companies are brainwashing you? Let’s see the truth of all these lip service masters from the same industry.
Let’s not forget the claim by senior INC leader “Sanjay Nirupam” who hinted about the conditions in which Sushant was being forced too hang himself.
Saif and Kriti said the truth. Nobody cares in this industry. All the people came to show themselves regretting on social media but not one of them was there for him when he needed. Think if he would be a star kid. Take Arjun Kapoor for instance, he has never ever given any good acting performance also most of his films are flop at the box office still he is not short on films.
Outsiders like Ayushmann Khurrana have to prove themselves in every single film their talent. Fortunately he is proving his talent and courage every single time. Very few have courage to do the kind of films he does. But think if he would be a star kid then I don’t think so he will have to bother about it. He would still be good with crappy films.
Award shows are promoting this curse given to Bollywood. Talk about year 2019 when a 25 years old supremely talented actor Vishal Jethwa was not given any acknowledgement for his horrifyingly brilliant performance in “Mardaani 2”. Rani Mukherjee herself is a very good actress still the young boy whose age is almost equal to Rani’s acting career outshined her. I could not take my eyes off him while watching the film.
By the way do you know who won best male debutant award? I don’t and I think till now no one needs to know his name because his identity is just that he is the son of “Bhagya Shree”. Yes the same actress of iconic 1989 film “Maine Pyar Kiya”.
And there are many many more awards which absolutely make no sense to me. Please comment if you think they are useful in any other way than to bring so called “glamour” in the shows.
- I am more than you can see award.
- Nothing to hide award.
- Charismatic beauty of the year award.
- Best superstar of the next gen
- Editors choice for icon of the year.
- Most beautiful man of the decade award.
- Angeless Beauty award
Do they make any sense? If they do then that must be beyond my understanding. There is a person in Bollywood who is indeed the flag bearer of Nepotism as said by Kangana Ranaut. He is called “Karan Johar”. Let’s see his views on that.
Kangana was right saying that. By the feminist, anti-corruption and all the warrior within her arises only when her film release is at the door. When she gave her extremely popular interview to “Rajat Sharma” in “Aap Ki Adalat” where she alleged Hrithik Roshan and Aditya Pancholi for exploiting her she went for promoting her film “Simran”.
When she spoke about Nepotism she went to promote “Rangoon”.
Before release of “Judgemental Hai Kya” she fought with a journalist publicly in a press conference. The journalist was asking again and again about the messages she alleged him for sending her but no proof was given. Nevertheless it’s a feminist world so it is okay for a woman to falsely defame a man without any proof.
We also saw how the writer “Apoorv Asrani” was snatched his credit from “Simran”, not only that he was also made fun off by Kangana in same interview with “Rajat Sharma”.
So it will be very wrong to say that Miss Ranaut is a Messiah of outsiders and talented people in Bollywood. That’s why I titled this blog as “Tyranny of Nepotism in Bollywood”. Karan Johar is spreading Nepotism with all the strength he has and Miss Ranaut is doing even worse by just screaming against it. She just steals the camera flashes on her for bringing her film in limelight.
She is an extremely talented actress. Her performance in “Tanu Weds Manu” series “Fashion”, “Queen”, “Panga” and many more films are unforgettable. But she can never leave an opportunity be in the headlines. And that’s the pity.
I have declared them scavengers because they go to promote and appreciate the new comers in front of camera but never without any photo session.
Now I am going to present the exact post of Abhinav Kashyap in which he alleged Salman Khan as one of the big bullies in bollywood who can promote someone to commit suicide.
My appeal to the Government to launch a detailed investigation.
Rest in peace Sushant Singh Rajput… Om Shanti.. But your fight continues…
The suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput brings to the forefront a much bigger problem of what many of us have been dealing with. Exactly what might compel a person to commit suicide?? I fear his death is just the tip of the iceberg just like the #metoo movement was for a much bigger malaise in Bollywood.
The death of Sushant Singh Rajput brings under scanner the role YRF talent Management Agency might have played in pushing him towards his suicide but that is for the authorities to investigate. These people don’t make careers. They ruin your career and life. Having suffered personally for a decade, I can confidently say every Talent Manager and all Talent Management Agencies of Bollywood are a potential death Trap for Artists. They are all basically white collared Dalaals and everyone is involved. They all have an unspoken code of conduct they adhere to. Their one simple mantra is, “Hamaam me sab nange aur jo nange nahin hain, unko nanga karo kyonki agar ek bhi pakda gaya to sab pakde jayenge”. Following is mostly their modus Operandi.
First the talent scout(Casting Directors, etc.) working on a cut/commission spots a needy wild talent from out of Mumbai with little connections or property.
The talent is then lured with free invites to Bollywood parties and random Restaurant launches on the pretext of introducing them to celebrities. The Blinding glamour of celebs and lure of easy money is unleashed on the unsuspecting. Mind you they are all ignored and treated very badly at these parties so they feel demoralized and their self-confidence breaks.
Once the confidence is broken, the scouts offer them a multi-year exclusivity contracts and pressure them to sign-up for it by promising to protect them from predators or offering a pittance. Mind you, breaking these legal contracts means heavy penalties for these budding talents but the scout makes sure through bullying and coercion that there is very little option for the talent but to sign up.
Once the talent is signed up with the Talent management agency, they give up their right to exercise free choice and their discretion in any matter concerning career and they are made to work as bonded labor with very little money. Even if they are brave and manage to escape the clutches of their Talent Management agency somehow, they are systematically boycotted and their name smeared till they jump ship to another Agency in the hope of a better tommorrow.
But that tommorrow never comes. Their new agency turns out to be the same. Over a period of few years, mostly the prime of any actor, the talent is repeatedly broken till they either commit suicide or they succumb to Prostitution and escort services (Yes male escorts also) to feed the ego and sexual appetite of the rich and powerful, not just in Bollywood but also in Corporate world and politics.
My experience is no different. I have experienced exploitation and bullying first hand
Arbaaz Khan on Dabangg and ever since. So here is my story 10 years after Dabangg. The reason I moved out of making Dabangg 2 ten years ago is because Arbaaz Khan in collusion with Sohail Khan and family was trying to take control of my career by bullying me. Arbaaz Khan sabotaged my second project with Shree Ashtavinayak Films that I was signed up with by personally calling their head Mr. Raj Mehta and threatening him with dire consequences if they made a film with me. I had to return the signing money to Shree Ashtavinayak films and moved to Viacom Pictures. They did the same thing. Only this time the sabotager was Sohail Khan and he intimidated the then Viacom CEO Vikram Malhotra. My project was sabotaged and I was made to return my signing fee of Rupees 7 Crores plus interest of Ninety odd lacs. Its only then that Reliance Entertainment came to my rescue and we forged an enduring partnership for my film Besharam.
But lo behold… Mr. Salman Khan and family sabotaged the release of the film and got their PROs to run a sustained negative smear campaign against me and my film BESHARAM before release. This scared the distributors from buying my film. Reliance Entertainment and I were capable and courageous enough to release the film ourselves but the battle had just begun. My enemies, which there were many ran a sustained negative Trolling and badmouthing campaign against the film till the Box Office of my film collapsed. But to their horror, Besharam had still netted 58 crores before it went out of theaters.
So they fought on… They sabotaged the Satellite release of the film that was pre-sold to Mr. Jayanti Lal Gada who was the main agregator for Zee Telefilms those days. With Reliances goodwill, they were able to re-negotiate the satellite rights sale with Gada for a much lesser price.
Over the next few years, all my projects and creative endeavors have been sabotaged and I have been repeatedly threatened with life and rape threats given to/for the female members of my family. The sustained gaslighting and bullying destroyed my mental health and that of my family and led to my divorce and breaking up of my family in 2017. They erred and sent some of these threats as texts, sent to me as sms from several numbers. Armed with evidence, I went to the police in 2017 to file an FIR which they refused to register but registered a non-cognizable complaint. When the threats continued, I forced the police to trace the numbers but they couldn’t be traced back to Sohail Khan(the suspected sender). My complaint remains open to date and I still have all the evidence.
My enemies are sharp, cunning and always attack me from the back and stay Hidden. But the best part is after 10 years, I know who my enemies are. Let it be known that they are Salim Khan, Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan. There are many other small fry’s but Salman Khan family is the head of this venomous serpant. They use a clever mix of their ill-gotten money, political clout and connections with the underworld to intimidate anyone and everyone. Unfortunately truth is on my side and I am not going to give up like Sushant Singh Rajput. I refuse to cow down and will fight on till I see the end of either them or me. Enough tolerance. It’s time to fight back.
So this is not a threat, it’s an open challenge. Sushant Singh Rajput has moved on and I hope he is happier wherever he is but I will make sure that no more innocent will kill himself over lack of work with dignity in Bollywood. I hope suffering actors and creative artists will share my post on various social media platforms as will the media and people who patronize the entertainment industry.
Warm regards,
Abhinav Singh Kashyap
Please share and forward this as much as you can.
Suicide is not such a big deal in bollywood. It is there since ages and sadly it is expected to be continued even further. Let’s see some of them.
And the list goes on. Everyone is there at the funeral but no one comes when some really needs help. That’s bollywood for you, which is scavenger for you.
