Bollywood fans from around the world took to social networking platforms to bid heartfelt goodbyes to the actor, who committed suicide by hanging himself at the age of 32 in his posh Bandra apartment in Mumbai for unknown reasons.

The movie is an Indian adaptation of author John Green's bestselling novel about two teens who fall in love after meeting at a cancer support group. The film shows Sushant romancing Bollywood newcomer Sanjana Sanghi.
The movie, shot in India and Paris, takes viewers on an emotional journey that ends with Sushant’s character Manny succumbing to cancer, leaving behind a film for his friends and fans to remember him by, mirroring the real-life fate of the Bollywood star. The movie therefore gives a chance to Suschant's fans to come to terms with their loss as well as the chance to bid a fond farewell to the star that India “lost too soon”.
Sushant’s suicide has jump-started a nationwide discussion on mental health awareness in India. The tragedy also highlighted the toxic nepotistic culture that Bollywood is infamous for, as established entertainers focus on promoting star kids more than outsiders who make their own way in the industry.
