Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar has penned a poem mourning the untimely demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Farhan took to Instagram on Tuesday to share the poem. Farhan’s poem seems to be a dig at the hypocrisy of Bollywood and its behaviour towards industry “outsiders”, as he compares it with a “circus” and talks about crocodile tears.

“Sleep my brother sleep

let the vultures gather

and the crocodiles weep

let the circus performers

juggle, contort, bow and leap

let the shrill get higher

the darkness

in the hearts of men get deep

sleep my brother sleep

RIP Sushant, gone too soon,” wrote Farhan.

Sushant was found hanging at his Bandra residence on Sunday morning. He was 34.
