The sudden demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput sent a shock wave across the country. The actor, 34, committed suicide at his Mumbai residence due to reportedly suffering from depression.

While the Bollywood still cannot fathom the sudden demise of Kedarnath actor, some members from the fraternity are posting throwback memories with the deceased actor. Designer Manish Malhotra, too, picked out a memory from his throwback archives as he remembered the talented actor.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I had met him only once before and then asked him to walk for the show as I felt he suited this collection. He immediately agreed and came home for fittings .. when he came for rehearsals he said he was nervous as he had not walked before and I remember telling him you are such a good actor you will be fine and just smile as your smile is endearing and charming .. He was wonderful in this show as he and @shraddhakapoor walked and made a lovely pair together and today this is a wonderful cherished memory forever .. I woke up this morning thinking about him & still can’t beileve it. It’s really sad and how I wish this had not happened. You will be dearly missed. #sushantsinghrajput #memories

Manish shared a video of Sushant on his social media space and shared an incident behind it. He had met the Kai Po Che actor just once and asked him to walk for his show along with Shraddha Kapoor, as Manish seemed he was fit for the collection. After coming onboard immediately, Sushant went to his home for fittings and during rehearsals, Sushant revealed that he was a bit nervous. Calming down his nerves, Manish told him that he will be fine as he was such a good actor. “Just smile as your smile is endearing and charming,” he advised. Needless to say, he was wonderful in that show!

Manish said that this incident has now become a ‘cherished memory’ and he still cannot come in terms with the fact that Sushant is no more. “Today this is a wonderful cherished memory forever. I woke up this morning thinking about him & still can’t believe it. It’s really sad and how I wish this had not happened. You will be dearly missed,” read an excerpt from his caption.
