She starts by narrating a line from The Fault in Our Stars, which is the book/film that  is being adapted for Dil Bechara: “You gave me a forever, within a limited number of days, and for that. I’m forever grateful,". Sanjana recealled how it used to be his favourite line, and how they’d read this line to each other before performing tough emotional scenes.

She thanked all those who were writing to her that he was an ‘artist par excellence’. Sanjana also recalled how he wanted her to go far and succeed, apart from their plans to do something together for the education sector.

“We just wish you’d never done this," she concluded while breaking down, along with a glimpse of them dancing together on the sets.

She also wrote a lengthy note, in the caption, on hoping she was reading some ‘horrible joke’, him jokingly telling her 'Rockstar, itni achi acting thodi na karte hain paagal!',  being excited to watch their ‘best film’ and her first, the tips he gave her like conserving her energy on set and more. She added that she knew Sushant spending time ‘beside his mother’ would make him happy.
