Indian actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who rose to become a formidable
presence on the big screen, committed suicide. The actor in the movie
‘Kedarnath’, ‘MS Dhoni’ was found hanging at his Bandra residence in
Mumbai. Mumbai police are investigating in the death of the 34-year-old
Sushant Singh Rajput.
The Patna-born Rajput became an instant hit with his good looks and boyish
charm when he was noticed in the famous soap on Zee TV’s ‘Pavitra Rishta’
in 2009. He made his Bollywood debut in the buddy drama ‘Kai Po Che!’ in
2013, for which he also received a Filmfare nomination for Best Male Debut.
The same year, he was also seen in the romantic comedy ‘Shuddh Desi
Romance’ 2013, which was followed by the titular detective in the action
thriller ‘Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!’ in 2015.
Last week, the ‘MS Dhoni’ actor had posted a highly-evocative post on
Instagram invoking his mother’s memories. In a slightly-cryptic note, he
remembered his mother who had passed away in 2002. His post with the
hashtag Mother in Hindi read:
Blurred past evaporating from teardrops
/Unending dreams carving an arc of smile/And a fleeting life, / negotiating
between the two
.
Meanwhile, B-town went into shock as the news of his death was confirmed.
From industry colleagues to friends and fans who started furiously posting
pictures with the late actor, everyone recalled their memories and
association. Film-maker Kunal Kapoor was one of the first ones to take to
Twitter and he recalled having met the actor just before the lockdown began,
and found the news of his death as incredulous.
