Sushant Singh Rajput's death has created a void in the industry. Social media is flooded with tributes and expressions of grief as not only fans but people from all walks of life are mourning the actor's demise. Here's a look at the time when the kind soul's generosity touched lives.

Sushant Singh Rajput had donated Rs 1 crore for the wellbeing of people during the Kerala flood on behalf of a fan. The actor had replied to a tweet of a fan who expressed that he had no money, but yet wanted to donate food for people in Kerala during the crisis. Sushant immediately replied to his tweet, and wrote, "I will donate Rs 1 crore on your name, make sure it reaches directly to our friends out there needing it."

In August 2018, the Kai Po Che actor took to the micro-blogging platform and pinned a tweet that read, "As promised my friend, @subhamranjan66, what you wanted to do has been done. You made me do this, so be extremely proud of yourself. You delivered exactly when it was needed. Lots and lots of love. FLY Cheers."
