He wrote, "y question for everyone who suddenly, through their social media posts, find the need to let the world know that they are available to talk incase someone is facing depression.

My question for everyone who suddenly, through their social media posts, find the need to let the world know that they are available to talk incase someone is facing depression. Was someone’s suicide needed for you to let others know that you are there for them ? How come no one offers their shoulder to ppl suffering from depression until a victim of the same decides to end his/her life ? Where the fuck are these so called supportive people on a normal day to day basis ? Why the fuck don’t you put up a similar ‘reaching out to’ post on a weekly basis so that people actually know that you genuinely want to be there for the depressed souls and not just follow the trend that happens whenever someone takes their own life. So stop this fucking pretence of wanting to be there for the world, your fucking drama is more painful than someones death. The fact is that 90% of you have invited people suffering from depression to approach you only because you simply wanted to be a part of the current trend. The biggest trigger of Depression is false hope, which most of you are actually giving to people who are genuinely suffering from it. So hence forth think ten time before you put up a fucking post committing to be there for people because when the time does arrive, when someone needs you and you fail to be there for them, then god forbid if there is a loss of another life, then that loss shall be on you. Commit only if you have the balls to go through with it.

Karan also shared another post relating to Sushant's death on his feed which showed how fame and followers don't account to much. He said, "Sadly today we live in a world where the ‘number of followers’ has become more important than ‘following your heart’. In the effort of trying to reach out to millions all over the world, we are loosing sight of the handful ones for whom we are the world. #RestInPeace my friend"
