TIL Desk Bollywood/ On the first death anniversary of Sushant Singh Rajput, Bollywood personalities Bhumi Pednekar, Rajkummar Rao, and directors Abhishek Kapoor and Mukesh Chhabra paid tributes to their “curious” and “inspirational” colleague.
Rajput, 34, was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020. A popular face on the Indian television courtesy the hit soap opera “Pavitra Rishta”, Rajput made his feature debut in 2013 with “Kai Po Che!”, directed by Kapoor. The duo went on to become friends, later re-teaming for 2018’s “Kedarnath”.
The director said he is yet to come to terms with Rajput’s death. “One year today… Still numb. #omnamahshivaya #sushantsinghrajput #superstar forever,” Kapoor wrote on Instagram on Monday. Rajput’s friend and casting director Chhabra, who directed the actor in his last cinematic outing “Dil Bechara”, shared Kapoor’s sentiment.
