Rajkummar Rao & Sushant Singh Rajput had humble beginnings and made it big in the entertainment industry on their own merit. Rajkummar said, “It was heart-breaking. I still remember I was at home and was about to have lunch. I got a call on my landline number a few times and I picked up. A journalist was there and she broke the news to me. I could not believe it.” He could not process the entire episode for days to come, as was the case with the entire nation, that was shell-shocked about the prolific actor’s untimely demise.
