In a recent interview with The Lallantop, director Mukesh Chhabra, who marked his directorial debut with the poignant film “Dil Bechara” in 2020 alongside Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi, opened up about his deep bond with the late actor. Describing Sushant as his ‘best friend,’ Mukesh revealed the emotional toll associated with the film’s songs, stating he can’t bring himself to listen to them due to the memories they evoke.
Addressing the tragic loss of Sushant Singh Rajput, who was found dead in his apartment just before the release of “Dil Bechara” on June 14, 2020, Mukesh expressed regret about not being aware of the actor’s struggles during the pandemic. He emphasized his commitment to their friendship, saying, “If I knew what he was going through, I would’ve gone and spoken to him. We used to meet very often.”
Mukesh Chhabra praised Sushant’s unwavering determination for his projects but also shed light on the actor’s sensitive nature. Describing him as an ‘oversensitive person,’ Mukesh acknowledged Sushant’s vulnerability to negativity and shared, “He would get affected very easily. He was an oversensitive person, we all are.”
Additionally, Mukesh Chhabra addressed previous misconceptions surrounding Sushant’s alleged arrogance. In an earlier interview, he clarified, “Sushant had said no to so many films just because of ‘Paani.’ People assumed that his newfound stardom had caused him to develop arrogance. “
This heartfelt revelation from Mukesh Chhabra provides a poignant glimpse into the complex personality of Sushant Singh Rajput and the enduring friendship they shared during the actor’s final project, “Dil Bechara.”
