Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide on June 14, leaving his near and dear ones in a state of shock.

PewDiePie also spoke about Sushant’s contribution to Bollywood and his decision to leave Engineering to pursue a career in the film industry. He added that he could relate to the MS Dhoni actor’s journey as he too had once made a similar transition
Sushant, who rose to fame with the Ekta Kapoor-backed Pavitra Rishta, made his Bollywood debut with the sleeper hit Kai Po Che and added a new dimension to his career.

He bounced back with the comedy-drama Chhichhore.
He acted in the Karan Johar-backed Drive, which was touted to be a gamechanger for him. The film, however, released directly on Netflix and skipped the theatrical route.

The film was supposed to get a theatrical release but that did not happen due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
