Reassessing what’s okay, what’s not: Devaiah
As someone who pointed out that Bollywood is a tough place to be in, while mourning the passing of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, Gulshan Devaiah, even after 50 days of the unfortunate incident, is still trying to get over it. “As an actor, who has been in this industry for nearly 10 years and is trying to get good work to further one’s career, it’s very shocking. It’s shocking when somebody allegedly did something like that. I’m trying to look after myself. I’ll probably want to be in a better position if I ever get to a dark place,” he tells us.
Talking about the various conspiracy theories that are floating around Rajput’s death and the twists and turns in the investigation, Devaiah, 42, says he has stopped reading too much into them. “It’s not that it doesn’t deserve my attention, but sometimes it becomes important to filter yourself from such things as they become very troubling and worrisome,” he reasons.
The actor further says he can’t comment on the matter as he doesn’t know much. “Somebody like Sushant dying the way that he did was really shocking. He died by suicide, right? That’s the narrative everybody seems to be going with right now, unless further investigations prove otherwise,” he adds.
Devaiah feels that after a point it’s all about how one feels about themselves. “I’m reassessing my situation and evaluating what’s okay and what’s not. I don’t want to make a decision like, ‘Oh, there’s no point in me living and I should just end it all’,” he concludes.
