Actor Sushant Singh Rajput‘s friend Siddharth Gupta has come out to speak about his dear friend almost six months after his death. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Siddharth, who’s considered one of the close friends of SSR and also a room-mate from the past, mentioned how the late actor had texted him and another friend five days back.
Siddharth revealed that SSR had texted him and Kushal Zaveri asking them to catch up soon, however, there was something about his text that conveyed that ‘there was something off with him.’ Kushal, Siddharth and Sushant were very close at one point and therefore, the late actor’s text communicated what his words didn’t. At least that’s what Siddharth said.
He explained, “When this message came, I remember talking to Kushal. I told him that I felt there might be something off because this wasn’t him entirely being so out there. Kushal had messaged him back saying let’s catch up soon and do the things we were doing.” He added that he didn’t want to ‘intrude’ the actor’s space by asking anything, therefore, he just waited to meet him soon. Siddharth said that he didn’t have his number and nobody knew where he had been living at that time. “Not in a million years, we could have thought of anything going wrong,” he said.
Siddharth went on to call Sushant an ‘idea’ and said not many were able to understand him. “A lot of people did not understand him, what he stood for, what he spoke about. The love that he gave people, it is at times so overwhelming that you doubt it,” he said.
