Bengali film stars remember ‘reserved, perfectionist’ Sushant Singh Rajput

Actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s sudden death came as a huge blow to his colleagues from Bengali film industry, with actors Saswata Chatterjee and Rajesh Sharma calling his demise a terrible loss.

Kwn for films like "Kai Po Che!", "MS Dhoni: Untold Story", "Chhichhore", Rajput was found hanging at his Bandra home, police said. He was 34.

Chatterjee, who worked with actor on yet-to-be released film “Dil Bechara”, said it was heartbreaking to see someone who had so much to give go away so soon.

“He was a young actor filled with life and who had so much to give. We are going through a very difficult time. I don't kw what prompted him to take extreme step.

“Being creative and emotional people, artistes may go through certain phases in life, but one should see life as a bigger canvas. A big journey. Maybe he took decision in haste," Chatterjee told a local TV channel.

Actor Rajesh Sharma, Rajput's co-actor in “MS Dhoni: Untold Story” described him as a "chilled out actor”.

“He was a bit reserved and contemplative. He was very respectful and a perfectionist as far as taking shots were concerned. Initially, I didn't believe news,” Sharma told a TV channel.

Actor Rituparna Sengupta said Rajput had so much to give to his countless fans.

"I initially thought it is fake news and sincerely believed it is proved to be so. He left at such young !" Sengupta said in a video statement.

Recalling his meeting with Rajput, director Raj Chakraborty posted on Facebook.

"Ar disheartening news. #SushantSinghRajput committed suicide. Just can't believe it. Such an unsettling feeling to hear news of his demise. #RestInPeace," Chakraborty wrote.
