Rajput, who was found dead at his home hanging on his ceiling, has also re-ignited the debate on mental health issues. The tragedy has also shone the spotlight on how brutal and isolated the world of celebrity remains. The narrative that seems to be popular is that Rajput was being unofficially boycotted by Bollywood bigwigs and his due was never given to to the outsider. Image Credit:
