Bollywood’s talented actor Sushant Singh Rajput has committed suicide and found dead on Sunday morning at his Bandra residence in Mumbai, according to Indian media.

According to media reports, Sushant Singh was found hanging in his house. His representative has confirmed his death.

His death comes surprisingly a week after his former manager Disha Salian reportedly committed suicide. The actor had reacted to the death on social media by expressing shock and grief.

“Shaken. Just sunk hearing this really.. Don’t know how to believe you are gone..My thoughts and prayers with your family, whose grief I cannot even begin to fathom.. May you rest in peace Disha. Lots of love,” Sushant had written on his Instagram handle.

Rajput’s latest film to hit the theatres was ‘Chhichhore’, in which he starred beside Shraddha Kapoor. The film was a major blockbuster at the box office.

He was rumoured to be in a relationship with actress Rhea Chakravorty as several pictures of the two were snapped in various places around the country.

However, the actor’s untimely demise is now being mourned by his fans and number of celebrities, who are taking to Twitter to express their deepest condolences.
