While some tried to back their stars and the working of film fraternity, others slammed them for favouritism and bullying. 

Sushant Singh Rajput featured in several blockbuster movies such as 'Kai Po Che!, M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, Shuddh Desi Romance, PK, Raabta, Kedarnath to name a few.

He was last seen in 'Sonchiriya' and 'Chhichhore'. His digital release 'Drive' co-starring Jacqueline Fernandez too created a flutter upon release.

Sushant Singh Rajput's last rites were held at Pawan Hans Crematorium, Mumbai on Monday (June 15, 2020). Several Bollywood celebrities such as Shraddha Kapoor, Varun Sharma, Abhishek and wife Pragya Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi and Jackky Bhagnani amongst others paid their last respects to the departed soul.
