Earlier in the week, Disha Salian, Sushant Singh Rajput's ex-manager reportedly committed suicide by jumping off from the 14th floor of her apartment in Malad, Mumbai.
After starting his career with television, where he gave an award-winning performance in soap opera Pavitra Rishta, Sushant made his Bollywood debut with Kai Po Che! (2013).
