Akshay Kumar speaks on SSR death & Drug issue in Bollywood

After a long silence,Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar said that the problem of drug abuse exists in Bollywood, like any other industry, but one shouldn't assume that every person in the profession is part of the problem. In his video massage, he said, "Today, I'm talking to you with a heavy heart. I want to say so many things in the past few weeks but there is so much negativity everywhere," "We may be called stars, but Bollywood has been created because of your love. We are not just an industry, but through our films we have showcased Indian values and culture throughout the world," Kumar said.The actor added that cinema has always been a reflection of the society, raising relevant issues like "corruption, poverty or unemployment", and will continue to do so.

Akshay Kumar said the events following the death of Sushant Singh in June have pushed everyone in the film industry to "introspect".The actor said he couldn't deny that there are some in the industry who may be involved in illegal things, but most people will cooperate with the investigation."Drugs is a legal matter and I'm totally confident that our law enforcement authorities and courts will conduct a fair investigation into this issue. I know this for a fact that every person from the film industry will cooperate with them in this investigation. It is my request, don't look at the whole industry with same lens. This is not right," he said.The actor requested the media to not indulge in insensitive and irresponsible coverage as, he said, even a single "negative issue" can damage an artiste's hard-earned reputation.
