Popular Youtuber PewDiePie pays respect to Sushant Singh Rajput
Popular Youtube star PewDiePie reacted to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. In a video, the Swedish YouTube sensation talked about the trend #UnsubscribeTseries and talked about the Kedarnath actor. He called him a 'good dude' and said that the way people have been talking about him, there was something about him. On June 14, Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead after police broke into his room in Mumbai. The actor was found hanging from a ceiling fan and was battling depression for the last six months.
Remembering Sushant, PewDiePie said, "I have seen people talk about it and there was something about Sushant Singh Rajput. It was a university talk of this guy. He seemed like such a good dude, like a genuinely good dude. So people were pointing to nepotism in the industry and then it somehow got in clash with T-Series and that is why Unsub T-Series got trending. It’s such a shame he decided to end his life. I don’t know everything about him but from what I saw he seemed a really good dude and someone the industry needs. So it’s a huge loss. Rest in peace."

It will be available for all subscribers and non-subscribers.
Taking to Instagram, Mukesh Chhabra wrote, "Sushant was not just the hero of my debut film as a director but he was a dear friend who stood by me through thick and thin. We had been close right from Kai Po Che to Dil Bechara. He had promised me that he would be in my first film. So many plans were made together, so many dreams were dreamt together but never once did I ever imagine that I would be releasing this film without him. There can be no better way to celebrate him and his talent. He always showered immense love on me while I was making it and his love will guide us as we release it."
"And I'm glad that the Producers have made it available for everyone to watch. We are going to love and celebrate you my friend. I can visualise you with your beautiful smile blessing us from up above. Love you," he added.
