The young Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely death is a loss to Bollywood industry. The young star of Bihar confidently started acting career before 13yrs in TV show. After reaching the peak, he became more enthusiastic to try his luck in Bollywood Cinema & in 2013 he made his debut in ‘Kai Po Che’ which enhanced his popularity. Just before a day, Dada Saheb Phalke International Film Festival announced in official Instagram, “congratulation to late @ Susantsinghrajput for winning the “critic’s best actor” award at DadasahebPhalke International Film Festival awards 2021. We miss you”.
Choosing Rajput for the above award definitely praiseworthy because of his valuable artistic skill. Again to choose a man posthumously is encourageable for India’s younger artists. But many people asked many questions about Rajput’s mysterious death & according to Mumbai police it is an instance of suicide; where as his family had challenged the same in a court at Patna against Rajput’s former girlfriend & her brother. Even CBI, NCB & ED had examined the above case with their expertise. When his death is controversial & on the other hand Phalke award is one of the country’s top most award in entertainment, an artist whose death is controversial in nature, Phalke award authorities should be more vigilant before considering the same for Dada Saheb entertainment award which Amitabh Bachchan in 2019.
