Actor Raja replies to media about death of Uday Kiran and he explains that No one will care about you when failure occupies your career, Raja also reveals sad days of his career and also speaks out about Uday Kiran. 

In Raja words "It is difficult for actors to survive when your career is in a freefall... I know it is true. I have been through that, though I wouldn't say the two instances can be compared. After having back-to-back hits, Uday faced a slide. However, it is not so much the slump that hurts, as much as the treatment you receive when you fail. People don't forget you, but start ignoring you, and that's the worst part. People don't even want to acknowledge your presence,"

"I made the mistake of considering and believing that films were my life. I let it affect me too much. There was pressure to succeed, to be acknowledged and have friends in the industry. It took a toll on me and I had suicidal thoughts. I was too depressed, but fortunately, I had a support system in my family. I spoke to them about my thoughts and that is something that has played a big role in me not giving in to the temptation of ending my life. 'Am I not being selfish?' That question was the decisive factor. At least, that's what happened in my case. I was actually trying to play God and meet not just my own expectations but of others' too. And when you don't meet them, you think you are useless and want to give up. I told myself that there is more to life than just films, and I came out strong with the help of my parents' support and my spirituality," says Raja.
