Sushant Singh Rajput was a complete outsider who made it from background dancer to a movie star through hard work and talent. That's an amazing and unique true story. Take a moment to remember that above everything. For outsiders, actors struggling, for anyone. That's a legacy.

Before any actor starts giving lectures on equality, I would highly recommend they check the way they treat ADs, crew members, junior artists, writers and all the people with less power than them on a film. The notion that equality should only exist between actors, is bullshit.

Seeing Dr Manmohan Singh on the news reminded one of a simpler time. We did jokes about our PM and the ruling party on CNBC, on a prime time news bulletin, 5 nights a week. We knew they were sometimes watching, and even laughing along. Feels like a forgotten century ago now.
