Will not sell conscience, says actor Sushant Singh over ‘Savdhaan India’ contract termination

Film and Television actor Sushant Singh said on Tuesday that his contract for Savdhaan India has ended. This news surfaced just after Sushant participated in a protest in Mumbai that condemned the police violence against the students of Jamia Millia Islamia who were agitating against the new Citizenship Amendment Act.

Reacting to a tweet that asked Singh if the termination was the price he paid for speaking against CAA and the police crackdown on students, Sushant said that it was a “very small price”.

According to The Indian Express, the actor said he sells his talent, not his conscience. “When my kids grow up and ask me what I was doing when students were being tortured, I should have an answer,” he said.

“… I feel if it was indeed a repercussion to my action, then it is a very small price that I could pay. I am shaken by whatever is happening and do not regret my actions.”
