He said, "Bhai, agar maine suicide kar liya, to ye mera bhoot khada aapse baat kar raha hai shayad. Bhai ye bahut sharmnaak baat hai.” Talking about how things happened on the day his suicide rumours surfaced, he said, "I was in a meeting when people started calling me. People were nervous as I could not pick calls. Even when my mom called. She was obviously in shock and could not believe the reports."
He further shared that he is happy in his life and has no suicidal thoughts. Stating that it is a shameful act, he added, "This is so wrong! To hear that your child has died by suicide! Why would you report this? Why would you write such things about me? I am happy in my life and am working hard. I do not need to commit suicide. I do not want anyone to die by suicide. How can you cook up such things about someone? It is shameful!." (Don't Miss: 'The Family Man' Fame, Neeraj Madhav And His Wife, Deepthi Janardhan Welcome Their First Child)

He had said, “It was difficult for us to get my son out of that bad phase of his life. But now, after Sushant’s death, I am scared and worried once again. I used to peek in his room to check that he was okay. It has happened several times that I had opened his door to check on him at 4 or 5 a.m., only to find him staring blankly at the ceiling. I used to ask him to sleep and that we all are there to stand by him.” (Must Read: Sara Ali Khan Gets Nostalgic As She Remembers Her Vacation With Daddy, Saif Ali Khan To Italy)
