On June 14, 2020, the nation lost its one of the most humble, sincere, and talented young actors as he had lost the battle to his mental illness. From being a gentleman to his charming smile to his philosophical ideas, we as a nation failed to understand his inner turmoil. While some are linking his death with the suicide of his ex-manager, Disha Salian, some are highlighting the dark side of Bollywood, while the reports say that the late actor was suffering from depression for past 6 months and was taking anti-depressants.
Sushant had started his journey towards being a Bollywood actor with TV shows. He had risen to fame with his portrayal of Manav in the popular show, Pavitra Rishta and had made many friends from the show. One of them is his co-star, Mahesh Shetty, whom he had last called before taking this drastic step. According to a report in India TV News, Mahesh, whom Sushant used to consider as his brother, in the police statement has stated that Sushant had stopped taking his anti-depressants pills from the past few days. The late actor had informed him that he is fine now and doesn’t need the pills.
According to the reports, Mahesh Shetty had further revealed that during their last conversation, Sushant was low on energy, but he wasn’t suffering from any kind of financial crisis. Well, we all are shocked with the news of Sushant’s demise by suicide. On June 15, 2020, Mahesh Shetty's PR team also posted a picture on his Instagram handle to request media people some privacy as Mahesh has lost his brother and dear friend, Sushant and needs his time to come in terms with the reality. Take a look at his post below:
Sushant’s other co-star from the show, Pavitra Rishta, Parag Tyagi in an interview with ETimes, had revealed how the entire cast of the show including Ankita Lokhande are devastated with the news. Parag had said, "Aai (Usha Nadkarni) can't stop crying. Manju Shah (Swati Anand), everyone is shattered after hearing the news. All Pavitra Rishta actors were discussing and everyone is asking why? I spoke to Ankita (Lokhande). She is also devastated and everyone is speechless as to how this happened. She was devastated and is unable to believe the news. Everything was good, Chichore was a hit, his new film was coming Bechara, which looked good, why Sushant why. I was watching the teasers of Bechara yesterday. He was so good."
