‘Image is everything’

Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has left a void that can never be filled. His death is a wake-up call at many levels, opening discussions pertaining to mental health and nepotism in the showbiz world. Now, Sumona Chakravarti, who is known as Bhoori in The Kapil Sharma Show, has highlighted another important issue of the ‘pretentious’ life of an actor. Sumona took to her Twitter and wrote, “Image is everything. Everything is image… That’s a dialogue from the film Rockstar. The bitter reality with, which actors have to live with. Social media is not a proof of the person that we are. The number of followers, the posts, etc do not define us. The constant pressure to look good, be good, behave good, talk good… pretend to feel good. Dare you say anything, you get trolled. The harshness, the cruel words, the venom that is spitted… and yet we have to smile through it all and look happy.”
