Sharing grief on the death of the actor, Celina told Hindustan Times, “It is very sad because it is such a loss of such great talent. It is such a loss of somebody’s son, somebody’s loved one, someone’s brother and it’s a great loss to a film industry. A great talent who probably in the future would have won India’s first Oscar (as best actor), you never know. We will never get to know what capabilities someone like Sushant would have brought to the table.”

 

Celina says it was the support of her husband and doctors that helped her get through it. “I was surrounded by people who cared about me. My husband took great care of me. I got help from doctors. I’m not over it but I’m in a much better place,” she says.
