THE SELLING OF SUSHANT IS ON FULL SWING

Ali Peter John

They have asked him to rest in peace (RIP),but the way things are , it doesn't look like they are going to let him rest him peace. They are literally selling him and everything associated with him to make the best of the opportunity he seems to have given them....

All the channels are working over time to come up with the "latest "and the "breaking news "stories about him. For most of the channels ,even the big stories like the spread of COVID 19,the intrusion of China into Indian territory and even Nepal trying to claim several kilometers of Indian land as its own makes these stories secondary to even the smallest story about Sushant's suicide. The major channels like Zee News and Repubic have also been carrying lead stories about Sushant. They are trying their best (or is it their worst ?)to out -beat each other in their stories about the Sushant Singh Rajput suicide.

Zee News which has been taking a beating because of some of the stories it has been carrying even had a veteran actor like the eighty -four year old Dharmendra to talk about nepotism in the industry .And the less said about the hundreds of channels and websites in every language, the better. The suicide of Sushant seems to have become their daily bread and butter. Some of them are at their creative and imaginary best and know things about Sushant, his life and his career better than Sushant would have known them. How far and how long will these wild and highly"explosive "
story continue ?

It is growing increasingly sickening to see some of Sushant's colleagues posting videos about their association, friendship and close relationship with the dead young actor. Most of them seem to be putting on acts with a selfish motive, only to promote themselves at the cost of a dead Sushant. Some leading filmmakers have been talking sheer nonsense, like one of the Bhatts talking about how he ,the all-knowing and enlightened man knew months in advance that Sushant was "going the Parveen Babi way ".

His own elder brother has been selling his own theory of depression, like he has been selling his crazy ideas down the years. And what really has driven many impartial observers mad is how a well known actor who has played Sushant's father in his most important film,has spoken about his shock over the death of his"son ". His video which has some days after the death of Sushant sounds hollow to the heart and the mind. The police continue to make their investigations and the selling of Sushant continues .

And the real breaking news is about how two filmmakers who have never made films before are already planning to make feature films on Sushant, his career,what led or who led him to commit suicide and what these filmmakers and their writers believe is the true story. They are even planning to release their films by the end of July or August. How they will, only God or not even God can know.....

And knowing the mentality of the opportunists,I will not be surprised at all if some or many pen -pushers will scribble out stories which will appear and flood the market as cheap paperbacks in as many languages as possible.....

This is the rule of a cruel game played by men and women with no hearts, very petty minds and of course no conscience.

Becho becho seems to be the only motto.Dil becho, dimaag becho,aatma becho, sab kuch becho, imaan bhi becho, apun ko paisa banaana hai, koi mare ya jiye, apun ko kiya karne ka hai ?
