Shah Rukh Khan is shocked and saddened by the news of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. The 34-year-old actor died by suicide; he was found hanging at his residence in Mumbai on Sunday.
Posting a picture with Sushant, Shah Rukh wrote on Twtitter, “He loved me so much...I will miss him so much. His energy, enthusiasm and his full happy smile. May Allah bless his soul and my condolences to his near and dear ones. This is extremely sad....and so shocking!!”

In a statement, Sushant’s team requested fans to celebrate his life and work, and keep him in their thoughts. “It pains us to share that Sushant Singh Rajput is no longer with us. We request his fans to keep him in their thoughts and celebrate his life, and his work like they have done so far. We request media to help us maintain privacy at this moment of grief,” the statement said.
