Sonu Sood feels an outsider in the industry always remains an outsider, and while the struggle may reduce after a few years, it doesn’t really end. On the flip side, a star kid will always get easy access. Speaking on India Today e-Mind Rocks 2020, Sonu Sood opened up on the ongoing insider vs outsider debate and he reacted to the news of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. Sonu said that his first reaction on hearing about Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise was that perhaps it was fake news. “The news of Sushant Singh Rajput demise was just unreal. I couldn’t believe it when I heard it, I thought it was fake, then I made a few calls and spoke to people who confirmed it,” he said, adding, “Sushant and I used to work out in the same gym, I have known him since his television days, and I can tell you that he was a very hardworking boy,” about the 34-year-old late actor.
Sonu further said how proud he was of Sushant, who made it big in the industry on his own. “When an outsider comes to the city and makes it big, it makes us very proud and gives every newcomer hope,” and added, “But when something like this happens, it leaves all of us heartbroken.” Sonu feels what happened will scare many who already feel Mumbai is a cutthroat city and the industry is unforgiving, “People who come to the city and this industry from other parts of the country always fear that this place is not safe. Parents also have that sense. So what happened was not right because now those parents will be scared to send their kids here.”
