Sushant Singh Rajput passed away from suicide on Sunday morning and Bollywood mourned the loss. Now, the actor's co-star Sanjana Sanghi of his last film Dil Bechara has bid a tearful adieu to her 'Manny'.
“I’m grateful to everybody who believed Sushant is an artist beyond excellence,” she said in a video. “Abhi toh itna kuch baaki tha, Sushant?(We had so much to do, Sushant),” Sanjana wrote in her caption. “I refreshed my web pages a 100 times hoping I’m reading some sort of horrible joke. I’m not equipped to process any of this. I don’t think I ever will be. I’m definitely not equipped to articulate my feelings, this is me failing, but trying.”
She continued, “After 2 years of seemingly all the possible difficulties one single film can face, with all sorts of crap constantly being written, and being relentlessly pursued. We were supposed to FINALLY see our film - my first film, and what you told me you believed was your best film yet, together.” Sanjana added, “In the middle of our 16 hour shoot days, you’d tell me that being and becoming Manny, made you happy. But you’d also fleetingly mention being anyone other than yourself made you happy. I was too ill-equipped to understand the depth of what you meant.”
Directed by Mukesh Chhabra, Dil Bechara is the official Hindi adoption of John Green’s novel The Fault In Our Stars and was supposed to release on May 8, 2020. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the film got pushed and will now finally release on Dinsey+Hotstar.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas also shared a condolence message for Sushant. She wrote, "I’m stunned. You must have been in so much pain. I hope you are at peace wherever you are my friend. Gone too soon. I’ll never forget our conversations about astrophysics at sunrise..Words cease to make sense. RIP Sushant. My condolences to the family and everyone grieving this huge loss "
Sushant's Sonchiriya co-star Bhumi Pednekar also posted an emotional message. The actress posted, "Rest in Peace my friend...
Shocked and Heartbroken...Still can’t believe it...To star gazing and our endless chats...am going to spot you twinkling bright up there with the rest cause you are and will always be a star my dearest SSR"
Farah Khan wrote, "Can’t still believe.. but I know somewhere your mother is hugging you n keeping you safe. Be at peace my dearest ♥ #sushantsinghrajput"
