Actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
breathed
his
last
on
June
14,
2020
and
left
the
entire
nation
mourning
over
his
sudden
demise.
While
some
celebrities
didn't
know
his
closely,
some
knew
him
personally
and
got
very
much
affected
with
his
death.
Actor
Aftab
Shivdasani,
on
the
other
hand,
wasn't
a
close
friend
of
Sushant,
but
used
to
meet
Sushant
regularly
in
a
gym.
In
his
recent
tete-a-tete
with
Bollywood
Hungama,
Aftab
recalled
meeting
Sushant
in
gym
and
said,
"I
was
majorly
shocked
because
he
was
somebody
I
knew.
I
used
to
interact
with
at
the
gym.
And
we
used
to
have
amazing
conversations
about
astrophysics,
quantum
physics,
spirituality
and
stuff
about
space
and
the
stars,
which
I
was
keenly
interested
in."
Further
speaking
about
Sushant,
Aftab
said
that
the
Raabta
actor
seemed
vibrant,
joyful
and
full
of
life.
Aftab
further
added
that
the
kind
of
energy
that
Sushant
had,
he
doesn't
think
many
people
have
that
energy.
Aftab
also
recalled
how
he
reacted
to
the
news
of
Sushant's
death
and
said
that
at
first
he
couldn't
believe
and
thought
it's
a
bad
joke.
He
said,
"When
someone
told
me,
I
thought
are
you
dreaming,
is
it
a
bad
joke?
And
then
I
turned
on
the
news
and
I
saw
it.
Honestly,
I
was
almost
in
tears.
For
a
long
I
didn't
come
to
terms
with
it."
Aftab
also
mentioned
that
Sushant
wasn't
just
a
good
actor,
but
an
extremely
intelligent
person.
"A
guy
like
him
with
such
a
bright
mind,
I
don't
think
many
actors
have
that
kind
of
mindset.
He
was
extremely
bright,"
asserted
Shivdasani.
Aftab
also
shared
his
view
on
the
ongoing
debate
around
Sushant's
death
and
said
that
the
Dil
Bechara
actor
was
way
beyond
just
films.
"If
people
are
speculating
that
he
was
depressed
or
he
was
upset
about
certain
facets
of
society
or
film
industry
people
and
that
caused
him
to
take
the
step,
it's
a
disbelief,"
concluded
Aftab.
