Suicide by Indian actor Sushant Singh Rajput days after the death of legendary Rishi Kapoor, versatile Irrfan Khan and great music director Wajid Khan left the fraternity in shock and awe.
Born on January 21, 1986, Sushant made a name for himself in television serials before moving on to Bollywood, making his film debut in the buddy drama Kai Po Che (2013). The 34 years old actor was known for his hit movies like Kedarnath, Kai Po Che, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story and TV series Pavitra Rishta. He was found hanging at his Mumbai home on Sunday. A few days earlier, Sushant’s former manager Disha Salian committed suicide.
As the news of Sushant’s death broke out, several celebrities took to twitter to express their feelings about the actor’s untimely death and the nepotism in the Indian film industry.
Urmila Matondkar wrote on twitter, “In an industry deeply ruled by Nepotism, it takes tremendous amount of hard work n talent to make a mark like you did..Such a pity you decided to make an exit so soon. Rest in peace ????????. #ripsushant #tragic #SushantSinghRajput”
Sanjay Dutt wrote, “At a loss for words.. So shocked to hear about #SushantSinghRajput’s demise. My condolences with his family.”
Akshay Kumar says, “Honestly this news has left me shocked and speechless...I remember watching #SushantSinghRajput in Chhichhore and telling my friend Sajid, its producer how much I’d enjoyed the film and wish I’d been a part of it. Such a talented actor...may God give strength to his family.”
Film critic KRK wrote, “When I said #coronavirus won’t go back without making 2020 a historical year, ppl didn’t believe me. My dear friend #Sushantsinghrajput committed suicide today. RIP Dost. But it’s not the right way to leave the world. U could have fight with the problems instead of giving up.”
