Ranvir Shorey, who impressed the audience with his spectacular performances in Ek Tha Tiger, Metro Park, etc, reveals how things were dark for him in the past. In a tweet earlier, Ranvir had mentioned about facing a "toxic environment" in the past, which makes him relate to Sushant Singh Rajput. Now talking further about the same, Ranvir told a leading daily, “I went through the same professional & social isolation, bad-mouthing and lies in the press and psychological trauma from 2003 to 2005 with the same people who are now involved.”
He said people called him an alcoholic and abuser without cross-checking the real facts. “I didn’t want to be vocal about my experiences but when I see people trying to shut down Kangana (Ranaut) and others who are speaking up, I feel that’s unfair. So, I spoke about what I faced. I was called an alcoholic and abuser and no one cross-checked the facts. One couldn’t do anything as one was helpless as a nobody. I suffered for years due to those lies with no respite and no way to get justice.”
He adds, “Today, the worst has happened (with Sushant) due to the toxic environment in this business. If we won’t speak up now, then when? Powerful people abuse power and there is no respite for the smaller fish. Talking will put some fear in the people who have power and no accountability. What helped me is that I didn’t let the negative emotion consume me, and instead I focused on honing my skills with acting classes.”
I don’t take any names ‘cause I have no evidence to prove their complicity! But the reason I speak is, I went through the same professional & social isolation, bad mouthing & lies in the press, and psychological trauma from 2003 to 2005 with the same people who are now involved. https://t.co/q0YZs8bHYY
