Vidya Balan asks people to stop speculating about Sushant's death

Actor Vidya Balan opened up about Sushant Singh Rajput's death and stressed upon the fact that everyone should 'let him rest in peace now'.

Mumbai: The discussion on Sushant Singh Rajput's tragic death seems unending. Actor Vidya Balan recently said that speculating about why he took his life is unfair to him and his loved ones.

In an interview with a leading portal, she said, "With Sushant Singh Rajput passing away, people who felt wronged, ignored, there was a sense of identification with him,” Vidya told CinemaExpress in an interview, attributing the outrage, in part, to the nationwide coronavirus lockdown. “Now the point is rightly or wrongly we do not know, because we do not know why he took the step he did. To show respect is to keep quiet. To speculate is... people can come up with all sorts of theories and that’s unfair to him more than anyone else, and his loved ones, who’re probably grieving."

She continued, "I’ve been through ups and downs and I’ve had all sorts of experiences in the industry. I am not saying nepotism does not exist, but I didn’t let that stand in my way. That said, everyone is different. It’s a tumultuous time and it really helps to talk to someone."

Furthermore, she said that nobody can be blamed if a person decides to take their own life and that people should really let Sushant Singh Rajput rest in peace as speculation is unfair to him and his loved ones.
