Sushant, who was 34-year-old at the time of his death, began his acting career with television. He became a household name after starring in Ekta Kapoor’s hit show ‘Pavitra Rishta’.
Following the TV show, he made his Bollywood debut with ‘Kai Po Che!’ in 2013 and later followed it up with films like ‘PK’, ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’, ‘Kedarnath’, ‘Sonchiriya’ and ‘Chhichhore’ among others. He was next to be seen in ‘Dil Bechara’.
Just a few days ago, the actor had mourned the death of his former manager Disha Salian. She had reportedly committed suicide by jumping off the 14th floor of a building in Mumbai’s Malad.
