Sonu Sood has been acting in films for the last 16 years and more. He has some blockbusters to his credit and has dabbled with multiple languages to create his own space in the film industry. After the unfortunate demise of Sushant Singh Rajput, the debates and discussions around nepotism, groupism in Bollywood have been amplified by fans and users on social media.
A lot of actors and filmmakers have spoken about the investigation of Sushant’s death and Sood has also spoken about the same. Speaking to Hindustan Times, the actor said, “I feel that sad when I see those debates and interview. There are a lot of my family members who are not from the film industry and they react to such news in a very emotional manner. As actors when you go on platforms and say things, you don’t realize how it is going to affect a common man in the country because he believes in you. As celebrities, we may forget about what we say, but the common man does not forget”.
The actor further says that as idols to millions of people, celebrities should always bear in mind the impact of their statements. “We are an inspiration to so many people, they follow us and it is a huge responsibility on our shoulder. You have to be wise, woh Hindi mein ek kahavat hai na ki tol mol ke bolo (There’s a saying in Hindi that one should talk in a balanced way). Just to get media attention people don’t stop and they get over board, which is sad. I wish our industry folks reacted to the whole Sushant’s death situation more intelligently than they did,” Sood said.
