Van Gogh had died by suicide by shooting himself on July 29, 1890, after years of suffering from poverty, mental illness and depression. He was just 37. Sushant, when he left us, was 34. Van Gogh had painted Starry Nights when he had admitted himself in the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole lunatic asylum, after cutting his own ear. He actually produced his best works when he was in the asylum.
Don't know what to make of this, but Sushant himself has been writing and posting a lot about the moons, the planets and the stars in his Insta timeline.

We don't know whether these were hints that the actor was giving us about what he was feeling through all these months. And if it were, it makes us feel even harder that we never saw this coming, We will miss you, SSR! Rest in peace, wherever you are!
