Karan Veer Mehra On Sushant Singh Rajput’s Death
The news of Sushant’s death came as a devastating blow, and Karan reflected on the tragedy by admitting he had never thought his friend would need help. “No, I didn’t feel that he needed help. It was a major shocker when it happened. He was a very sorted guy. He had a diary where he listed the names of 10-12 directors he wanted to work with. By 2010-2011, he had already worked with 8-9 of them,” the actor said.

He was very close to my mom and our family. When the news came out, I called my mom to take it calmly. He was a family man and close to me. I was shell-shocked when this happened.”
