Sushant Singh Rajput rejected cheques worth crores; says Rohini Iyer

Amongst a few other posts, Rohini Iyer’s one post stood out loud where she wrote about late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s outlook on Bollywood. They were extremely close and she mourns his death deeply.

She included in her eulogy how Sushant didn’t care about the money, he didn’t care about fake friends or people. He didn’t care about the 100 crore club, which is a club that refers to the amount of money a film makes at the Box Office.

“He didn’t care about money, I’ve seen him return pay checks worth crores” – she said.

If you want to talk about him, celebrate his life. It was larger than life like the movies he aspired to make . Celebrate his work . He put his heart and soul into his craft , he was bothered more about research than make up . He was about quality not vanity . He was a bright star . That’s why he shined sheer magic. Celebrate his brilliance . He thrived for excellence , mediocrity affected him.He rejected anything conventional as easily as he rejected godfathers and big ticket films that he didn’t believe in. He didn’t take calls of the high and mighty if he didn’t want to . He didn’t care about money, I’ve seen him return pay checks worth crores . If he wanted to switch his phone off and go farming or fishing , he would . He broke every rule and burnt bridges sometimes just to light his way . Cos frankly my dear he didn’t give a damn . He was my best friend , my special son. He was my Mozart. He’s given me music , culture , art , stars , poetry, books and most importantly , memories. He didn’t care about most people or what they thought of him . I think he barely had three friends that he really cared about . I was one of them and for that I will always be thankful . He touched every single person’s life and path he crossed . Knowing Rajput was loving him. I just want everyone to know and remember him for the person he really was . Not this manufactured version the peddlers are trying to sell. Maybe he was too good for all of you . He was pure diamond . Maybe you all didn’t recognise that cos you are only used to plastic . You didn’t deserve him. He was intelligent beyond belief and some of you can barely read. And you know what ? He didn’t care about all of you or your dumb opinions then . He won’t care any less now . But I do . Protecting his legacy is important to me . So setting the record straight once and for all .

“He just didn’t care about the 100 crore club. He didn’t want to belong to any club or be part of the rat race . He didn’t care about awards.”

Rohini takes us through the time the actor walked out of an award function out of boredom right before the announcement of his name for the “Best Actor Award”. “You had to be a lot more interesting than a bloody trophy to hold his attention,” she said.

Rohini says that the film industry was merely a small part of his life. He was a lot more than what just catches they eye with his interests, talent, wit and desire to be a good person. He never failed in life, he was always striving towards roads of success.
