Rohit Choudhary feels that the failure rate in the entertainment industry is higher which leads to depression
Actor-producer Rohit Choudhary, who is making his Marathi debut with Aamdar Nivas, feels that the failure rate in the entertainment industry is higher than any other industry and this leads to many actors going into depression or suffering from anxiety.
He said, “Depression and anxiety can be in any field because it comes from failure. However, it is more commonly referred to in the entertainment industry because the failure and rejection rate is high here. This industry is all about being seen, jo dikhta hai vo bikta hai, so if someone is not seen quite often, the public quickly forgets them.”
“People get famous overnight here, and the same goes for failure. So the once-famous actor obviously won’t be able to take the failure and goes through a lot of stress, anxiety, and depression. I strongly feel people should learn from their failures and work hard on their passion and their craft, instead of letting themselves go through depression,” he added.
Rohit was deeply saddened to hear the news of so many suicide cases in the industry, starting from Sushant Singh Rajput to Sandeep Nahar. Though he stressed that the lack of opportunities can be disappointing, he feels one should never lose hope.
“We heard so many suicide cases in the industry over the last year and they were really disheartening. I understand that there is a lot of struggle in the industry, but one needs to be mentally strong and keep their thoughts positive. Every sunrise gives you a new beginning, and one should never let failure get to them,” he said.
“There were also cases because of relationship problems, and I just have one question – is it right to give up your life for someone? God has given us such a beautiful life and we should be grateful for it and not end it because of someone else,” Rohit signed off.
