00:00After the sudden death of Sushant Singh Rajput,

00:04many such issues have come up,

00:06which have given us as much pain as you all.

00:10And these issues have forced us to look into our own pockets.

00:16For example, we are talking about narcotics and drugs these days.

00:21How can I lie to you today that this problem does not exist?

01:00Today, I am talking to you with a heavy heart.

01:11In the last few weeks, a lot of things came to my mind to say,

01:15but there is so much negativity everywhere

01:18that I don't understand what to say, who to talk to, how much to say.

01:23Look, even though we are called stars,

01:27but you have made Bollywood with your own love.

01:32We are not just an industry.

01:34Through films, we have brought our country's culture and values to every corner of the world.

01:41Whenever the sentiments of the people of our country came up,

01:47whatever you were feeling,

01:51for so many years, films have tried to show it.

01:55Whether it is the anger of an angry young man,

01:59or corruption, poverty, unemployment,

02:04cinema has tried to show every issue in its own way.

02:10In such a situation, if there is anger in your sentiment today,

02:16then that anger is also on our foreheads.

02:21After the sudden death of Sushant Singh Rajput,

02:25many such issues have come up,

02:28which have given us as much pain as you all.

02:32And these issues have forced us to look into our own pockets.

02:38It has forced us to see many such shortcomings of our film industry,

02:45on which it is very important to pay attention.

02:49For example, we are talking about narcotics and drugs these days.

02:54How can I lie to you today that this problem does not exist?

03:01It does exist.

03:03Similarly, as in every industry, in every profession,

03:08but every person in every profession is involved in that problem,

03:12this cannot happen.

03:14This does not happen.

03:16Drugs is a legal matter,

03:18and I have complete faith that our law enforcement authorities and courts

03:23will take the right action on this.

03:28And I also know that every person in the film industry will cooperate with them.

03:35But please, I beg of you,

03:38do not do such a thing that you see the entire industry with the same evil eyes.

03:45This is not right.

03:47This is wrong, isn't it?

03:50Personally, I have always had a lot of faith in the power of the media.

03:57If our media does not raise the right issues at the right time,

04:03then perhaps many people will not get justice.

04:08I want to request the media from the bottom of my heart

04:12that they continue to raise their voice.

04:16But please, a little sensitively.

04:19Because one negative news will ruin a person's reputation for years.

04:27And finally, my message to you fans is that

04:33you all have made us.

04:36We will not let your faith go.

04:39If you are angry, then we will work harder to remove our shortcomings.

04:45We will win your love and faith.

04:49If you are, then we are.

04:52Just stay together.

04:55Keep together.

04:57That's it.

04:59Thank you very much.
