I feel like he was surrounded by death even in his work. Starting with Kai po Che where he took a bullet for his friend, to Qafitana where he chose to give up his seat on an evacuation flight so that another child wouldn't have to grow up without his father. Between hurting someone else and death, he always chose death, the noble sacrifice. The funny thing is, it truly did feel like he would make those decisions while watching him on film.
I loved watching him in that Fault in our stars remake and for Bihar to have that kind of representation in film and media was phenomenal. I still get teary eyed watching one of his songs. It's been hard listening to music videos from his movies ever since he died and I didn't even know the man. I did watch a surprising number of his movies though. Heck I even watched sonchiraiya in thr theaters. Stellar acting by him. The movie itself was an extremely painful matter due to the dense subject matter. Strangely enough, he was seen taking a young tribal girl who had been sexually mutilated to a hospital. He could have died fighting for her. The parallels to the strange cases and theories surrounding his death were quiet similar. Life imitates art? Or maybe it really is all written in the stars
There seems to be no other way to describe it than fate.
The deeds that men do lives on long after they're gone...
Zariye tumhare dar pe khuda ke matha bhi hum tekte Hain..
Dhoni : girlfriend dies in a car crash
Drive : he is betrayed
Kedarnath: gives up the last seat in a rescue plane to a random kid's father
Kai Po Che: takes a bullet for a friend
Chichore: son almost does to suicide
Raabta: has rocks tied to his feet and drowns in thr previous incarnation.
PK: wasn't really about him but faced a long period of alienation from the love of his life because of a religious bigot.
I just feel like he had a larger purpose to serve and left when it was done?
