On Sunday, we all got the sad news that Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide. The actor’s demise has shocked the whole industry and his fans. Apart from his amazing performances, Sushant was known for his brilliant social media posts.
Sushant was a very intelligent personality and now, his team has launched a website where they will be sharing his thoughts, learnings, dreams, and wishes. On his Facebook Page, his team wrote, “He is away but he is still alive with us. Kickstarting #SelfMusing mode https://selfmusing.com/ Fans like you were real "godfather" for Sushant. As promised to him, converting this space into a collection of all his thoughts, learnings, dreams, and wishes, he always wanted people to know. Yes, we are documenting all the positive energies ⚡ he has left behind in this world. #AlwaysAlive #BestofSSR.”
Well, it is surely not easy to believe that Sushant is no more with us. The actor’s last big-screen release was Nitesh Tiwari’s Chhichhore which was a blockbuster at the box office.
Sushant’s next release was Dil Bechara. The makers of the film will be releasing the movie directly on an OTT platform. Directed by Mukesh Chhabra, it’s a remake of Hollywood film The Fault In Our Stars.
The actor was going to star in Rumi Jaffery’s next which was supposed to be produced by Vashu Bhagnani. The shooting of the film was postponed due to the lockdown. Recently, the filmmaker revealed, “I spoke to him a while back. He had been coming home and meeting my family; I had gone to his terrace flat as well and had a few meetings with him overlooking the sea and he was very positive about starting work. My wife and children have been crying ever since they heard the news. We were scheduled to shoot soon after getting the permissions and this happened.”

Saif Ali Khan's hospital trip was a mess, from a sleepy attendant to insisting on a stretcher.
He just ignored everyone telling him to use a wheelchair when it was time to leave.
His own mother, Sharmila Tagore, is still annoyed he did not listen to her.
A chilling detail: his son Jeh was nicked by the knife too during the chaos.
Right, so Saif Ali Khan is talking about the knife attack now. He is actually talking about it. He is filling in the blanks from that night at his Bandra home, the one that ended with him in surgery. And he is explaining that moment he left the hospital, no wheelchair, no ambulance, just walking. It was a conscious choice after the knife attack, his way of saying he was still on his feet.

What exactly went down that night?
He saw the man standing over Jeh’s bed, armed. During the struggle, the assailant’s knife even nicked his young son Jeh. The attacker managed to stab Saif six times before fleeing.
Saif Ali Khan opens up about the night he was stabbed and his shocking hospital decisionInstagram/saifalikhanpataudiworld
Why did Saif Ali Khan deny a wheelchair after the attack?
The hospital scene was weirdly placid and almost sleepy especially the emergency area. He knew the second he walked in, he would require a stretcher. But the attendant on duty just offered a wheelchair. He had to argue, “No, I think I need a stretcher.” The guy was not really getting it. In the end, Saif said he had to snap the guy to attention by stating his name and calling it a medical emergency. That is when everything kicked off.
That initial refusal of aid, bizarrely, set the tone. Later, after a week in hospital and surgery, he was again faced with the wheelchair question for his discharge. “It just did not seem to be necessary.” He could move, though in pain. So why would he pretend otherwise?
Here is the thing: everyone had an opinion. Someone said to take an ambulance, and another insisted on the wheelchair. The media was camped outside, curious and waiting. His own instinct cut through the noise. He figured, why feed the panic? Why have his family, his fans, seeing him wheeled out or driven away in an ambulance?
He decided the right message was the simplest one: just walk out. Show them you are upright and okay. It was a picture message, literally.
Of course, the plan backfired a bit online, with some calling the whole thing fake. His mother, Sharmila Tagore, certainly thought he had made a mistake, telling Twinkle Khanna that if he had just listened to her and used the wheelchair, “there would have been no controversy.” But for Saif, the intention was only to reassure.
