Sushant’s belief in Mahatma Gandhi’s principles
A quote of Sushant from 2013 surfaced online on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. The late actor had stated that the leader’s principle of non-violence will always remain relevant. The late star, however, stated that abolishment of foreign goods, like the leader suggested, might not be 'practical' today.
The Chhichhore star had said that he personally followed this Gandhian quote: "First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win." He said he had even framed the quote in his room.

One to share the quote was Vikas Gupta. The producer-former Bigg Boss contestant wrote that Mahatma Gandhi’s statement about fighting and then ‘winning’ had turned out to be true for Sushant as well. He claimed that those who had backed the various movements related to Sushant and justice for him were either mocked or had ‘Twitter accounts blocked’ and some were ‘threatened.’ Vikas asserted that they too will ‘win’ in the same way as Sushant looked at Gandhi's quote.
