Whitney Houston’s sudden death has once again made people raise their eyebrows over the existence of drug abuse in Hollywood! The 48-year-old Houston was found dead on Saturday in a Beverly Hills hotel room.

Not only Houston but in past many years the international arena have witnessed talent like Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Brittany Murphy, Pimp C and many more rising on the film and music firmament succumbing to drugs and leaving their journey halfway!

Even Bollywood is heartbroken with Houston passing away at early age. Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt is saddened too and says that drug abuse has become main part of Hollywood's heritage. He also pointed out that even Bollywood has this culture.

The reason of her death is still not clear but it is reported that her career took a turn for the worse amid her battle against drug abuse and a stormy marriage to singer Bobby Brown. "The pressure of stardom cries out for relief. The taste of success cries out for celebration. Drug abuse is a part of Hollywood's heritage," Bhatt posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.

The 63-year-old says that not only Hollywood, even the Hindi film industry faces such problem. "Even here in Bollywood it is all available. It's whether you want to take part in it or not. It's all there. Anyone who says it isn’t is wrong," he added.
