On
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
first
death
anniversary
today
(June
14,
2021),
his
friend
and
filmmaker
Rumi
Jafry
got
emotional
while
speaking
about
the
late
actor
with
an
entertainment
portal.
He
told
Spotboye
that
he
hasn't
deleted
Sushant's
number
yet
from
his
phone
and
still
revisits
his
messages.
The
entertainment
portal
quoted
him
as
saying,
"Would
you
believe,
I
still
continue
to
read
his
messages
on
the
phone.
Usska
number
delete
karne
ka
mann
nahin
karta.
(I
don't
feel
like
deleting
his
number).
I
still
feel
he's
alive.
His
enthusiasm,
his
excitement
about
life
was
so
infectious.
He
wanted
to
so
many
things.
He
wanted
to
act,
direct
films,
write,
do
organic
farming....
I
am
reminded
of
singer
Noorjehan's
song
Jo
na
mil
sake
wohi
bewafa,
Ye
badi
ajeeb
si
baat
hain
Jo
chala
gaya
mujhe
chodkar,
Wohi
aaj
tak
mere
saath
hai."
Rumi
said
that
June
14
will
be
a
dark
day
for
him
every
year
and
continued,
"And
everything
that
has
happened
since
then,
the
hatred,
the
accusations
and
counter-accusations,
the
ugly
court
cases,
and
most
of
all,
the
targeting
of
Sushant
girlfriend
Rhea
Chakraborty...all
of
this
was
so
painful
for
those
of
us
who
really
cared
about
him."
Hinting
at
the
controversy
which
followed
post
Sushant's
untimely
demise,
the
Chehre
director
said
that
since
he
was
close
to
Sushant,
he
is
sure
that
the
late
actor
would
have
hated
every
moment
of
drama
which
ensured
after
his
death.
Spotboye
quoted
Rumi
as
saying,
"Abhi
bhi
kuch
kehne
mein
darr
lagta
hai.
You
never
know
what
will
be
made
of
what
you
say.
The
next
thing
you
know,
you
are
being
targeted
for
God-knows-what.
Let
me
tell
you,
knowing
Sushant
he
would
have
hated
every
moment
of
the
tamasha
that
ensued
after
his
death.So
many
of
his
so-called
friends
suddenly
showed
up
to
claim
their
portion
of
fame.Raaton-raat
yeh
log
mashoor
ho
gaye.
Jinnki
following(on
social
media)
zero
tthi
unke
followers
hazaron
mein
ho
gaye.
In
death,
Sushant
made
so
many
rich
and
famous."
Rumi
said
that
he
is
upset
by
the
trickle
of
films
based
on
this
tragedy
and
added,
"It's
very
painful
to
see
people
cashing
in
on
someone
tragic
death.
Instead
of
mourning
for
the
loss
of
a
young
bright
talent
they
are
trying
to
make
money
out
of
it.
Humanity
can't
fall
any
lower.
But
each
time
we
say
that,
we
surprise
ourselves
by
going
even
lower."
Further,
on
being
asked
if
he
intends
to
celebrate
his
friend
Sushant's
life
in
any
form,
Rumi
revealed
that
he
is
writing
in
his
autobiography
in
which
he
will
be
devoting
a
chapter
to
the
late
actor.
For
the
unversed,
Rumi
Jafry
was
all
set
to
make
a
rom-com
with
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
before
the
latter's
tragic
demise.
