We have no business to speculate: Vidya Balan on Sushant Singh Rajput's death
New Delhi: Actor Vidya Balan says the only way in which one can honour Sushant Singh Rajput's legacy is by "keeping quiet" as he is not here to defend himself.
Rajput, known for films such as "Kai Po Che", "MS Dhoni: The Untold Story", "Chhichhore", was found dead in his Bandra apartment on June 14. He was 34.
In its initial probe, Mumbai Police said no suicide note was found on the spot.
Rajput's death sparked a discourse around mental health, the struggle of survival for outsiders in films, and monopoly of power structures, which has now been reduced to a blame game on social media.
Balan said it was unfortunate that a "bright" mind like Rajput made such a choice.
"I feel that someone chose to end his life and he didn't leave a note, outlining why he did that. So we have no business to speculate and disrespect that person's choice because he is not even here to corroborate facts. He made a choice and it's really unfortunate, because what a bright guy," she told PTI.
The 41-year-old star said though she didn't know Rajput personally, she believes there was much more to him than just being an actor.
"... what a flourishing career. I personally feel I'm no one to say what's right or wrong. But I feel whatever prompted him to end his life we don't know and we will never know. So the only way to show respect is by keeping quiet," Balan added.

Yes Bank co-founder Rana Kapoor gets bail in bank fraud case; to walk out of jail after four years
Mumbai, Apr 19: A special court here on Friday granted bail to Yes Bank co-founder Rana Kapoor in the Rs 466.51 crore bank fraud case, paving the way for him to walk out of jail after four years.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Kapoor in March 2020 in a money laundering case, and he has been booked in eight cases related to fraud at the bank.
The banker has now secured bail in all the cases.
Kapoor's lawyer Rahul Agarwal said they were trying to complete the bail formalities to facilitate his release as early as possible.
The court has granted bail to Kapoor in the CBI's case against him and Avantha Group promoter Gautam Thapar for allegedly indulging in criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, cheating and forgery for diversion of public money to the tune of Rs 466.51 crore.
