"The Day Sushant Died...": Smriti Irani Breaks Down In Interview

Union Minister Smriti Irani broke down during the interview while recalling the day she heard about the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in June 2020.

Union Minister Smriti Irani, in an interview to a YouTube channel, has said she wished her friend and actor Sushant Singh Rajput had dialled her at least once. Ms Irani broke down during the interview while recalling the day she heard about the death of the actor in June 2020.

"The day Sushant died, I was on a video conference. I just couldn't... I said stop it. I felt like, why did he not call me? He should have called once. I had told that boy, 'please don't kill yourself'," Ms Irani told Neelesh Misra on his YouTube programme 'The Slow Interview'.

Ms Irani, a former TV actor, said she knew Sushant Singh Rajput as their sets were sometimes at the same location in Mumbai.

"I remember feeling instantly worried about Amit. I called Amit and asked him what he was up to," Ms Irani added, referring to actor Amit Sadh, who worked with Sushant Singh Rajput in the 2013 film 'Kai Po Che'.
