Ever since the drug angle popped out in Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case, several people have made sensational claims about alleged drug use in Bollywood. Kangana Ranaut claimed that 99 percent of Bollywood is under the consumption of heavy drugs, while Ravi Kishan also voiced his opinion in the Parliament, that drug addiction exists in film industry. Jaya Bachchan spoke in support of Bollywood during the Monsoon Session in Parliament, and stated that the image of the entertainment industry is being disgraced because of a few people. In between all of this, Pooja Bhatt has raised some questions, asking if anyone cares about the economically weaker sections of the society, those who give in to drug abuse to make the pain of living go away.
Pooja Bhatt asked if anyone’s interested in speaking of their rehabilitation, and said that in these tough times, people need to help each other, as opposed to vilifying them. “Does anyone care about people who live on the ultimate fringe of society, who use drugs to make the pain of living go away? The ones who are too battered & broken to chase dreams but chase substances amidst much poverty & squalor? Anyone interested in their rehabilitation?” wrote Pooja in her tweet.
While replying to another user’s tweet agreeing with her views, Pooja further wrote that COVID-19 pandemic has crashed down lives and as a coping mechanism, people are taking support of toxicants. However, instead of disparaging them, we need to help each other heal.
“And countless others.. from various walks of life. COVID-19 is going to leave millions unemployed. The pandemic has already played havoc. Depression is on the rise.People will turn to intoxicants to cope with the sheer ordeal of living.We need to help each other heal not vilify,” she concluded in her tweet.
