He said, “When he passed away, there was so much going on in the news about the cause of his death. I had to cut-off myself from everything. I was listening to everything but couldn’t hear anybody saying that a young actor died. I couldn’t see anybody around mourning him. All I could see was people trying to find out spicy gossip. So, I had to walk away from the situation. Nobody was saying that ‘We are missing Sushant’. Nobody was talking abut how despite being an outsider he acted in television and finally made his debut in movies. Everyone was just speculating about the conspiracy, who gave drugs to Sushant, who murdered him. Where is that condolence meet? Where is the retrospective on his films? Those who loved him should have organised a screening of his movies and discussed about it. Why don’t we cherish all his good memories? Sushant Singh Rajput has become a gate to misery borne.”

Dibakar and Sushant’s Byomkesh Bakshy was a fictional detective which was created by Bengali author Sharadindu Bandhopadhyay. The movie also featured Anand Tiwari, Neeraj Kabi and Swastika Mukherjee.
