Mukesh Chhabra on last call with Sushant Singh Rajput & his sudden demise: I wish I knew he was in pain

Sushant Singh Rajput's sudden demise sent shock waves within the film industry and in the country at large. The actor, whose last film Dil Bechara, was due for release, passed away around a month and half before it could hit everyone's screens at home. The film's director, Mukesh Chhabra, a prominent casting director who's making his debut with the remake, joined us for a conversation, celebrating Sushant and remembering him.

While Sushant is no more, Mukesh talks about his fondest memories with his 'brother', how he got the news of his death and why he isn't able to cope up with the loss. He also talks about the last call Sushant made to him on his birthday (May 27), 18 days before he passed away, and regrets not knowing about the pain he was in. The filmmaker shares, "I had no idea (about Sushant's depression). I wish pata hota. I jusst feel ki ek baar pata hota ki he's going through so much."
