While actors do work their entire lives and somehow become influential figures in many people's lives, and they want to influence their audience too, we are pretty sure this is not what they have in mind. What has happened with Sushant and these minors is extremely unfortunate!

While Sushant might have left for heavenly aboard way before it was his time, fans of the actor still await a treat in the form of his un-released film Dil Bechara, which was to hit the screens before lockdown happened. We're sure the movie, which is the Indian adaptation of The Fault In Our Stars, will leave Sushant's fans and admirers with unforgettable and fond memories of the late actor.
