Sushant Singh Rajput’s heartbreaking death left everyone shattered. Ali Fazal, who shares that he never got a chance to meet the late actor, also expressed how sad and disappointing the news of his death was. When mid-day sat down with Ali for a brief conversation on the podcast series The Bombay Film Story, he revealed learning about Sushant’s death and his interactions with him.
Recalling the moment he learnt about Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, the Mirzapur actor shares, “It`s very disheartening when something like that happens. It`s weird because I was myself going through a different period because three days after that, I lost my mother.”
“So I was in a freaking hospital in Lucknow dealing with that, and I didn`t have the mind space to process anything else happening around that time. But yes, I did. Of course, later I got to know because the chatter was all over. It`s sad. He was a very smart guy,” he adds.
