"to Talk. Communicate. Express. To seek help," "Remember, you are not alone. We Are together in this. And most importantly, there is hope. "
Anushka Sharma , who co-starred with Singh in movie PK wrote, "I am so sad and angry to know that we lived in an environment that could not help you through any problems you may have had. "
Many others have talked about how difficult it was to talk about Mental Health issues in India, due to a lack of understanding and the taboos around the topic.
"from The Conversation about Mental Health in India miles, where it should be. A lot of people grief, Sushant death today, snigger and gossip, if someone is known to be, she sees a psychiatrist," tweeted Rahul Sabharwal, city editor of The Indian Express newspaper.
Another Social Media user, Noreen Wozar said needs, "Mental Health , really, more of a priority in Indian households, rather than taboo, and - if you are depressed, just "get Over It " mentality. "
But, Dr. Soumitra Pathare , Director of the center for Mental Health law and policy, told The Bbc that while it was important to have conversations around depression and suicide, he warned against a confusion of the two, especially in a country like India.
"Research data says that in the United Kingdom and Europe, depression, about 80% of suicides are omitted. But the data from countries such as India show that there are many other reasons that someone will take their own lives," He Said , adding that the demographics for suicide, the country was also very different.
"For example, is suicide the Number One cause of death in younger women. Many are impulsive, and we have found that Domestic Violence is one of the main causes. Similarly, examination, pressure in children under the age of 18 years, is a leading cause, and of course there are economic causes, such as those to take up the cause of farmers, their own lives, in rural India," He Said .
Popular for his acting career in the TV and film, Rajput is perhaps best known for Ms Dhoni : The Untold Story , where he played in the legendary cricket player.
His funeral will be held later on Monday.
