As if right on cue, the sky in Mumbai broke open as the ambulance carrying Sushant Singh Rajput’s mortal remains pulled out of the Cooper hospital in the city. The ambulance made its way to the Pawan Hans crematorium at Vile Parle in Mumbai. In the front seat of that ambulance was film producer Sandip Ssingh, a close friend of Sushant. Sushant Singh Rajput, the outsider who made it big in Bollywood, left his fans devastated with his death on Sunday morning. A pall of gloom descended upon the entire country, from Bihar to Bombay, as their favourite boy left them.
Sushant Singh Rajput was cremated at the Pawan Hans Crematorium at Vile Parle in Mumbai on Monday afternoon. His father and family members flew down to Mumbai today, after the actor was found dead at his Bandra home in Mumbai on Sunday morning. Sushant’s body was found hanging in his room, at his duplex apartment on Sunday morning, and the postmortem report said his death was due to asphyxiation by hanging.
This morning, the police also questioned Sushant’s friends Rhea Chakraborty and Mahesh Shetty to assess the late actor’s mental state. Sushant’s sister told the police that the actor was not keeping well for the past few days, but they never expected that he would take such an extreme step.
His family shared a statement with the media yesterday, which read, “It pains us to share that Sushant Singh Rajput is no longer with us. We request his fans to keep him in their thoughts and celebrate his life and his work like they have done so far. We request the media to help us maintain privacy at this moment of grief.”
