Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging in his Bandra residence on Sunday morning by his domestic help, which left celebs and his admirers speechless. He was seemingly battling depression over the past few months and undergoing treatment.
Depression is a reality, tells Sushmita Sen, adding that the heartbreaking passing of actor Sushant Singh Rajput pushed her to start a conversation around the importance of talking about mental health something she was intending to do for long.
"The truth is that after hearing about Sushant… Sushant's sad news came at a time when everytime we pick up the newspaper, this is happening around the world to young people," Sushmita revealed to a media source when questioned about the Instagram post she made soon after the news of Sushant committing suicide surfaced.
"It has been happening a lot to people from all walks of life. When I started the YouTube channel, one of the comments that kept upcoming repeatedly -- and it was very spooky -- was everyone kept asking me to speak about mental health. This is before Sushant's news. And I kept on thinking, okay, I will do something. I'll do a Vlog. I will talk about it because it is very important, and I know more than anybody else, as much as any other person who has experienced clinical or otherwise self-induced depression, that it is real," further added Sushmita
She further said, "And somehow, because of all this going on, I never got to do the Vlog. And when I heard Sushant's news, I just started typing like a mad person like I just could not resist saying it out because every time I delay this … It's not good because it might help somebody somewhere. So that's why it was written."
In her valuable message, Sushmita requested her fans and audiences to never quit in life, to keep fighting till the end and to always seek help when in need. She put the post with an image reading out: "Protect your peace".
