'Won't Sell Conscience' Says Actor Sushant Singh After TV Show Contract Terminated

New Delhi: Actor Sushant Singh announced early on Tuesday morning that his contract with Savdhaan India, a Hindi language crime show, had ended. The development came just hours after Singh participated in a protest in Mumbai that condemned police violence against students of Jamia Millia Islamia who were protesting the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA). Singh hosted the show, which chronicles true crime stories. Speaking to the Indian Express , the actor said he sells his talent, not his conscience. With celebrities coming under criticism for “staying silent”, the actor pointed out that several Bollywood personalities have spoken up about the violence. … there are people like Richa Chadha, Taapsee Pannu, Zeeshan Ayyub and even Anubhav Sinha, who have been vocal about the recent incidents. Similarly, the Jamia kids were not involved in any kind of violence, and the police even clarified the same. It’s so strange that there’s footage of the bus burning but no visual of who lit it? There has been a constant effort to bring down one community and students’ voices. They are our future, and we cannot stay silent over this,” he told the Indian Express .
