\'There are many a Sushant Singhs in K’town\' – Vasuki Bhaskar

Popular costume designer and stylist Vasuki Bhaskar, cousin of Venkat Prabhu and Yuvan Shankar Raja, referred to nepotism in K'town when she wrote on her social media page that there are many Sushants in the Tamil industry who are struggling without proper income and recognition and suffer silently.

In that context, she has asked youngsters to take Thala Ajith as an example (then and now) and recall his troubled times.

“There are many a #SushantSingRajput in our Tamil film industry who get no payment, no support, no recognition yet they put a brave front n smile to the camera. Few speak 2me few remain silent in pain 2suffer humiliation in a diff. form. To so many such, remember thala Ajith then n now,” she posted on her Twitter account recently.

She has worked in Ajith’s Mankatha and Billa 2.

Vasuki also quoted actor Ashwin Kakumanu’s series of tweets telling how people had overlooked him in Tinsel Town.

Ashwin had said, “Realised how much I had bottled in over the years. People who ignore and marginalise your efforts or worth, humiliate you and of course backstabbing (the list wouldn't be complete without that one) all the bitter experiences people go through just to do what they love doing.”
