Police said the 34-year-old actor, who was living alone during the coronavirus lockdown, was found hanging at his Bandra residence on Sunday, reports NDTV. Mumbai police have launched an investigation into his death.
Sushant made his acting debut on television with the serial Pavitra Rishta. He made his Bollywood debut in the film Kai Po Che before starring in the much-lauded MS Dhoni biopic and Kedarnath. Sushant also earned critical acclaim for his role in Dibakar Banerjee’s 2015 movie, Detective Byomkesh Bakshi and was last seen in the movie Chhichhore.
His death comes just a week after his former manager Disha Salian reportedly committed suicide.
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
