Vivek Oberoi says he relates to what happened to Sushant Singh Rajput; claims there was a time he wanted to end things as well

While recalling his battle with depression, the actor also mentioned that it was his family and wife Priyanka Alva that helped him. During his conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Oberoi added that he related to the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, and that he too at one point of time had decided to end things. Speaking about the same, the Masti actor asserted, “This place can be cruel, brutal, trying to crush you. The little prayers they make for me every now and then, that’s what kept it together for me. I just lost it otherwise. I am just constantly so upset with the negativity around me and maybe that was the agenda. The agenda is sometimes to break you mentally. But I think Priyanka had a big role in creating a haven for me now.”

Oberoi further added, “Which is why I relate to what happened with Sushant or what happens with other people. I felt that darkness and pain. This place can be pretty cruel. They can be brutal with trying to crush you and when lies are spoken so many times, so loudly and so many times, they become the truth. They force you to start believing that’s the truth about you but in hindsight with a lot of calmness, strength, and inner happiness, you realise that your truth is your truth and no one can take that away from you but you.”

Coming to the professional front, the 46-year-old actor is currently bagging praise for his latest release, Dharavi Bank, a web-series streaming on MX Player.
