Bollywood filmmaker Dibakar Banerjee, who shared a close bond with the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, recently reflected on the aftermath of Rajput’s tragic death in 2020.
During an interview with Indian RJ Siddharth Kannan, Banerjee reminisced about his experiences with Rajput, highlighting the actor’s inquisitive nature and broad range of interests, which included discussions on topics like science and sociology.
Banerjee expressed deep sorrow over the manner in which Rajput’s passing was overshadowed by rampant conspiracy theories, lamenting the lack of genuine mourning for the talented artist.
He voiced his disappointment that the narrative surrounding Rajput’s death seemed more focused on sensationalism and speculation rather than celebrating his life and achievements.
Banerjee criticized the media’s fixation on salacious details and urged for a shift towards honoring Rajput’s legacy through retrospectives of his work and meaningful discussions about his contributions to cinema.
He emphasized the importance of cherishing Rajput’s positive impact on the industry and remembering him for his talent and dedication, rather than getting caught up in conjecture and gossip surrounding his untimely demise.
