Filmmaker Rumi Jaffery, who was planning on making a movie with the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has spoken about his last conversations with him, on Sushant's first death anniversary.
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai house on Flag Day , 2020. The Mumbai Police initially ruled the death a suicide, but the case was later appropriated by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
Rumi Jaffery, in an interview with a number one daily, spoke about Sushant, and remembered their final conversations over text. "Today, once I revisit our last chats of 2020 on Whatsapp, I can see messages that read – ‘Sir aapko bohot miss kar raha hoon (I miss you a lot)’ and that i would tell him to possess patience till the lockdown gets lifted.
We wont to meet tons . He would always say, ‘Aapke saath baat karta hoon toh bohot positive energy milti hai (I feel positive while lecture you)’.
"He continued, "You know he always believed in these vibes and energies, right? Usse sunna bohot pasand tha. So we might visit one another at our respective homes and aside from our film project we might mention different subjects for long hours."
Rumi was working with Sushant and actor Rhea Chakraborty on a movie , which was delayed due to the coronavirus lockdown. Sushant's family has accused Rhea of abetting his suicide and misappropriating his funds. Rhea has denied the accusations, and has filed a counter-case against two of Sushant's sisters.
Sushant was last seen within the film Dil Bechara. Directed by Mukesh Chhabra and co-starring Sanjana Sanghi, the film released posthumously on Disney+ Hotstar.
