Vivek Oberoi Reflects on Attending Sushant Singh Rajput’s Funeral, Reveals Struggles with Mental Health: ‘I’ve Been at the Edge of Darkness’

Vivek Oberoi has disclosed his personal “journey of pain” in addition to providing information about Sushant Singh Rajput’s funeral. A “wake-up call for all of us,” he added, is the actor’s passing.

Heartbreaking details about the funeral of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who passed away on Sunday in front of his close family and a few friends, have been shared by Vivek Oberoi. In a note, Vivek expressed how “the pain in his father’s eyes was unbearable” and stressed the need for “talent to be nurtured and not crushed” in the film industry.

Vivek wrote, “Being at Sushant’s cremation today was so heartbreaking. I truly wish I could have shared my personal experience and helped him ease his pain. I’ve been through my own journey of pain, it can be very dark and lonely. But death is never the answer, suicide can never be a solution. I wish he stopped to think of his family, friends and the millions of fans who are feeling this tragic loss today…he would have realised how much people CARE! When I saw his father today, having to light the fire at the cremation, the pain in his eyes was unbearable, when I heard his sister weeping, begging him to come back, I can’t express how deeply tragic it felt.”

Vivek ended the note saying, “I will miss the ever smiling Sushant Singh Rajput, I pray god takes away all that pain you felt my brother and gives strength to your family to deal with their loss. I pray you are in a better place now, maybe we didn’t deserve you.”

In a separate tweet, he included a message for Sushant’s supporters. “A sincere plea to all of the admirers of #SushantSinghRajput and everyone else: talk to someone if you’re feeling down or lonely; it will help to ease your pain. I promise you, there is someone who genuinely loves you. Before making such a drastic move, give them some thought,” he wrote.
