Sushant Singh Rajput case: ‘There are people in the film industry who do plan your failure,’ says Raveena Tandon

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Raveena Tandon urged people to stop sensationalising the death. She said, “Stop sensationalising it now. You can’t blame anyone, not the film industry. This is just becoming a witch-hunt, a lynch mob, which is wrong. People have to think rationally. It’s doing a great disservice to the poor boy who’s gone.”

The actress said that she’s sad seeing a Whatsapp doing the rounds. She said, “Karan Johar intentionally made a bad film for Sushant, so he could ruin the actor’s career. Why would a producer pay an actor crores of rupees, sign him in his movie and then risk the rest of the crores in making a shitty film? Why would anyone invest so much money, time and mechanism to intentionally sabotage his own film? How absurd are these allegations!”

She also added that there are people in the industry who plan your failure. She said, “There are politics, I agree. And there are good people and there are bad people. This is what I had written in my tweet also. And there are bad people who do plan your failure; I’ve been through it. They are the ones who would want to see you down and removed from films. It’s literally like classroom politics. They play dirty games. But people like this are there in every industry. We’re in a high profile glamorous job and the competition is cut-throat, so it gets highlighted.”

She revealed how she was removed from a film overnight. She said, “I was doing fittings with the film’s designer for an outfit for the evening mahurat party. At 4 pm, I get a call that I’ve been dumped from the movie and I’ve to return the signing amount because the hero’s girlfriend didn’t like me.”
