Mahesh Shetty was Sushant Singh Rajput's co-star in his debut serial, Pavitra Rishta and his best friend in the industry. The last call that Sushant had made before ending it all was to his best friend, Mahesh, but he couldn't pick it up. In his long eulogy to his best friend, Mahesh wished if only he could have talked to him, if only that last call would have come through, if only Sushant had opened up to him more, and a lot of things. Scroll down to read the full eulogy!
Mahesh took to his Instagram handle and posted a black and white picture of him and Sushant riding on a bike at film city in the night and poured out his emotions in a long note which could be read as "It's a strange feeling... I have so much to say yet I am speechless. Sometimes in life, you meet someone and feel an instant connection as if you've known him all your life and you realise you don't have to be born from the same womb to be brothers. This is how we met... we met as brothers. We hit it off over love for food and long walks in Film City and didn't realise when and how we became such an integral part of each other's lives. Both introverts, both amazingly old-fashioned when it came to our friendship, both living in a little private world of our own."
Sushant Singh Rajput's best friend in the business, Mahesh Shetty remembered the good old days and the beautiful moments spent with him further in his note. It said, "So many memories, our journeys, our endless chats (he could talk about anything under the sun with equal conviction), food, films, books, nature, science, relations and lots of bakwaas... He was like a kid in a candy shop and that boundless energy laced with all the limitless dreams was always infectious. He made me feel loved. We shared a unique bond and I was always glad that our relationship never needed any public display of affection or a public validation. It was sacred for both of us. how I wish I had captured it all in a lot more pictures so at least I would have had something to look back at now. But still, I am thankful, at least I have the last 13 years' journey filled with memories to cherish and hold onto for the rest of my life."

Mahesh further probed his fans to celebrate not only his work but his life as well, for he was a wonderful human being! His note said, "His success, his achievements, his work... he was always a perfectionist no matter what I say, I will never be able to explain the genius in him. I could never express how happy I felt every time I watched his movie on the big screen and all the days and nights of hard work he put behind those characters. He was an inspiration to almost everyone around me and that made me even more proud. He was always so full of life with dreams in his eyes. All those who loved him always automatically became a part of my family too and will always remain that way."

Mahesh ended his note on the thoughtful wish that if that last call Sushant had made before taking life, would have come though! His note further read as "I never thought I'll be writing all this for you brother. Here we were explaining on our retirement farming dreams and now this...I somehow always knew that you were the blessed one... But never expected that he'd take you away so soon. I'll always behold your legacy to heart and wouldn't want it to go waste. I wish the world celebrates your life as much as your work. Feel as if there is a sudden void which will never be filled again. For every important event of our lives, we were always there for each other. How do you even explain if you suddenly lose a piece of your heart? How do you convince yourself to live with all the why's, all the other hundreds of questions and what if's? I am sorry but I'll always hold so many grudges now. How I wish you would have opened up your heart completely. You knew that Shetty hai aur tere sath humesha rahega. Then why??? Bat to kar leta yaar!!! How I really wish that call would have come through kamini... Life can never be the same !!! I know how much you loved the stars... Dharti Maa Ki Kasam, I'll be looking out for you every night brother." (Also Read: Arjun Bijlani Twins With Son, Ayaan As They Wear Matching T-Shirts Ahead Of Father's Day)
