In the video, one can see a collage of Sushant’s moments from Balaji Telefilms hit serial Pavitra Rishta, where he starred opposite Ankita Lokhande. The video also showed snapshots of Sushant at various gatherings and parties, thrown Ekta.

Amid all the comments, what caught everyone’s attention was designer Masaba Gupta comment. She wrote, “Only if the Odd ones were celebrated instead of being made to feel like they are meant to go sit in a different corner from everyone else. I’ve always wondered why an actor has to live out of a definition served by society both personally and professionally. I’m reading about him and discovering who he was & happy he didn’t feel the need to fit into that definition. Different is wonderful, but just not enough sometimes, I think.”

Rajput, 34, hailed from Bihar and was educated in Patna and New Delhi, before shifting to Mumbai.

He was known for his portrayals in TV serials like Pavitra Rishta, films Kai Po Che, Shuddh Desi Romance, the biopic MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, Kedarnath and Chhichore, among several others.

Bollywood and social media reacted with shock and disbelief on hearing the news of the death of Rajput, who was also noted for his philanthropic services.

Condolences have poured in for the actor from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and other leaders from across the political spectrum.
