Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's sudden death came as a shock to his fans and peers from the industry. The actor hanged himself in his Bandra home on Sunday. He was being treated for depression. His suicide came just a few days after his former manager Disha Salian also committed suicide. 

Sushant often shared his thoughts and musings on his Instagram account. His last post, earlier this month, was dedicated to his late mother. Sushant had shared a black and white collage of his picture and that of his mother’s on June 3 and wrote, "Blurred past evaporating from teardrops. Unending dreams carving an arc of smile. And a fleeting life, negotiating between the two..."

For the uninformed, when his film, Dhoni: The Untold Story was about to release, the actor had told DNA in an interview, "I wish she was alive to see me succeed in life. I am sure she would have been really happy and proud of me. And maybe I would have been a different person than I am now. The way I looked at things then and now, they are very different and I cannot go back to doing that. It’s unfortunate. But everything that used to excite me, doesn’t excite me that much now. I don’t know why. No relationship, no success, absolutely nothing... If she was alive, probably it wouldn’t concern her, but just because something has changed inside me, everything has become so insipid. It takes a lot out of me to force myself to get overly excited about things and probably this is the reason why I like acting so much. Because it helps me get away from myself."

Sushant was last seen in Nitesh Tiwari’s Chhichhore, which went on to become a blockbuster with a collection of over Rs 100 crore at the domestic box office. He was also seen in Drive, which released on Netflix, opposite Jacqueline Fernandez.
