"One month today. Now I'll never even get a phone call from you," the casting director-turned-filmmaker wrote.
His rumoured girlfriend shared a heartfelt note for him. "My words are incapable of expressing the love we have and I guess you truly meant it when you said it is beyond both of us. You loved everything with an open heart, and now you've shown me that our love is indeed exponential. Be in peace Sushi. 30 days of losing you but a lifetime of loving you," she posted along with pictures of the duo.
The 35-year-old actor Ankita Lokhande who was also Sushant's ex-girlfriend and has worked in hit daily soap 'Pavitra Rishta' uploaded a picture of a lamp on Instagram and captioned it, "Child of God. " This is the first time Lokhande has shared a post dedicated to Rajput since his demise.
Actress Kriti Sanon penned down a poem reading, "And in between a guilty laughter that pretended to move on, Her eyes shed tears of reality and broke all her delusions."
In his brief but acclaimed career, Rajput was known for featuring in films like "Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!", "MS Dhoni: The Untold Story" and "Chhichhore", which marked his last big screen appearance.
