Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely demise has left Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan in complete shock. Taking to Instagram, Big B shared an old photo with the late actor and spoke about the sheer brilliance that his work depicted.
Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput is gone! Known for films like 'Kai Po Che!,' 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story,' 'Chhichhore,' etc Rajput was found hanging at his Bandra home on June 14. The death of the 34-year-old actor has left the country in shock and now megastar Amitabh Bachchan has taken to his social media to ask him only one question--why did he end his life? Sharing an old picture with the late actor, Big B spoke about Sushant's brilliant mind and the sheer brilliance that his work depicted. Further, he even spoke about Sushant's remarkable performance in the film 'M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story' in which the actor played the role of Indian Cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Taking to Instagram, Big B wrote the heartbreaking post for Sushant that read, "Why .. Why .. Why .. Why .. Sushant Singh Rajput .. why do you end your life .. your brilliant talent .. your brilliant mind .. laid to rest , without asking , seeking .. why .. .. his work was sheer brilliance .. and his mind even more .. many a time did he express himself in the depth of philosophical verb .. they that looked passed it were either in wonder or oblivious of its strength of meaning .. some wondered, some quibbled .. to some it was a subdued mirth .. subdued because , for it to be given lethargic ignorance, would have opened the caves of their own .. .. his speak was measured .. as was his screen presence .. .. I saw a complete work of his in ‘DHONI’ .. the film was dressed with remarkable moments of his performance .. but three of the moments ever remained with me as an observer .. they were done with such casual conviction that it would be difficult for an analyst of some credibility, to either notice it , or give attention to its bearing."
Further Senior Bachchan wrote, "When he spoke or communicated , there was something of an inner value, which had remained unsaid , yet said in its covered all .. its a trait of excessive intelligence .. and when that takes a diversion from the highway , it invariably ends up against a road bloc - depressive , unwanted , and in belligerent frustration .. .. on one of my meetings with him , I asked him how did he manage to give that iconic shot of Dhoni hitting a six winning the International tournament , to absolute perfection .. he said he saw that video of Dhoni , a hundred times .. !! .. that was the severity of his professional effort .. .. he came from humble beginnings .. was a part of the 4rth line group dancers, that performed shows with Shiamak Davar , the ingenious talented choreographer of our times .. rising from those climes to where he was, is a story by itself .. excessiveness can often lead to extremes .. .. what kind of a mind leads one to suicide is an eternal mystery .. .. to end a most gainful life, is simply not permitted .. Ab"
In one of their meetings, Bachchan recalled, when he had asked Rajput how he managed to give that iconic shot of the cricketer hitting a six to make India win the 2011 World Cup, the actor had revealed he watched the original video a hundred times.
Rajput’s last screen appearance was Nitesh Tiwari’s 2019 film 'Chhichhore,' where he played the role of a father who conveys a message of hope and affirmation to his son who has attempted to kill himself.
