Actor Saif Ali Khan made a cameo appearance in Sushant Singh Rajput’s last film Dil Bechara, the Indian remake of The Fault in Our Stars. Khan reminisced his pleasant experiences of working alongside Sushant, but said that he found the late actor ‘a little on the edge’.
Khan said to The Times of India, “I knew him. I shot with him... When Sara described him, she always described him as being a really remarkable person. And I thought if this guy really understands Sartre, the way he says, and he is as intelligent as she’s making him out to be then he’s obviously more intelligent than I am.”
Saif’s daughter, Sara Ali Khan, who made her film debut opposite Sushant in Kedarnath, according to reports, is shaken by her co-star’s death.
Saif added “I think he had very refined looks. He was a good-looking guy. He was very talented, he was a little edgy… When I met him, I thought he was a little on the edge. And he was a little, I don’t know - I think he was looking for something. He was interested in the same things as me in some ways, like he liked astronomy, and he liked, you know, discussing some of this philosophy and talking about some stuff, which, you know, one dabbles in as an amateur."
"When I did my guest appearance in his Dil Bechara, I think he was quite happy with that. He was very nice to me and he said he wanted to come and have a drink and talk about various things, which never happened, which I feel bad about. Maybe I could have, you know, helped in some way or not… I don’t know. But after working with him, I quite liked him because he was nice. And then he told me he danced behind me as Shiamak’s dancer during the Melbourne Commonwealth Games (in 2006). And so I was congratulating him on how far he’d come, you know?”
Sushant was found hanging at his Bandra home earlier on Sunday morning. The preliminary post-mortem of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput confirmed that he had committed suicide.
Sushant was suffering from depression for the last six months and also undergoing treatment at the Hinduja Hospital.
