Sanjay Gandhi: Sushant Singh Rajput was a friend and I too had once contemplated jumping off a train and committing suicide

Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on 14 June and the nation is still in mourning as he left a huge void in the industry. Sanjay Gandhi, who recently made his directorial debut with a short film titled ‘Yaad’, remembered the late actor who was his friend. Sanjay also opened up about the time when he considered committing suicide.

Remembering Sushant, Sanjay said, “Sushant was a friend and it was a very big loss. But jo chala gaya woh chala gaya and this phase will also go you know. You cannot cover up the loss but it is a very major setback and I was shocked for a few days, how it can happen because I knew Sushant and we used to meet once upon a time. He was a very strong man, aesa kya hua???”

He recalled the time when he had suicidal thoughts and wanted to end his life as he could not bear the struggle, “But yes, it happens like that. I have also gone through the same shit in life years back. But my problems were different because I was jobless and married with a daughter and I had a responsibility. So I had a thought like that one day that I’ve had enough and I can’t do it anymore. I was just going to jump from the local train. I was standing at the door and suddenly I felt that I should jump. I was very upset. I am talking bout 2001- 02. This was a bad phase of my life. There comes a phase in life where you are fed up with the struggle and yet nothing is improving. It comes in everybody’s life, but with Sushant, it was very unbelievable and God bless his soul.”
