'Hope you're looking over us': Sushant's 'Dil Bechara' co-star Sanjana Sanghi thanks him

Marking the day of her film's release, debutante Sanjana Sanghi has paid a heartfelt tribute to her late co-star Sushant Singh Rajput through her latest Instagram update. The model-actor, who will essay the role of Kizie Basu in the film Dil Bechara, shared an adorable BTS picture with Sushant and wrote a heartfelt note thanking her 'Manny' for giving strength to her and the team for the release of the film after his tragic death.

She wrote the sweetest words for Sushant in the caption, "My Manny, I hope you’re looking over us, blessing us, and smiling upon us as we are, looking up at you, searching for you, in equal parts awe and disbelief. Thank you for giving us the strength in ways known and unknown to somehow brave through this incredibly tough path."

Calling the day 'DilBechara Day', Sanjana wrote that Sushant's presence in the film is like a silver lining for her and director Mukesh Chhabra. She wrote, "We can feel the strength every minute- right, @castingchhabra ? It’s the only silver lining amidst so many dark clouds. The day apparently has come. It’s #DilBecharaDay. Here’s praying for peace, positivity and calm to each and everyone. Milte hain. Jald."
