Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput has been found dead at his Bandra residence in Mumbai. He was 34. He was found hanging at his home and a domestic help alerted the police. A team of Bandra Police has rushed to investigate and details are awaited.
Last seen in Netflix film Drive, Rajput was one of the bright stars of the younger generation. He has worked in films such as Kai Po Che, MS Dhoni biopic and Kedarnath.
His manager, 28-year-old Disha Salian, ended her life by jumping from a high rise building on June 9. People are assuming this as one of the reasons.
Police have found some medical prescription too from his house.
In one of the first reactions, actor Riteish Deshmukh tweeted: “Shocked beyond words… Sushant Singh Rajput is no more… Deeply saddened.”
Sushant started his career with the Television show Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil and rose to fame with Pavitra Rishta. With the Zee TV show, he ruled the hearts of the people for many years. His on-screen chemistry with actress Ankita Lokhnade was much appreciated by the viewers.
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 ????????
