Bollywood lost another precious gem yesterday as Sushant Singh Rajput passed away. The actor committed suicide and reportedly it is because Sushant was suffering from depression. Sushant’s teachers from his school mourned his death and Sushant’s other alma mater, Delhi Technological University (DTU) is planning to organise an online prayer meeting.

According to a report by Hindustan Times, his former school teachers said that he was good in academics, he was also quite confident and always stood out in the crowd. The school’s current principal Seema Singh, who was the vice-principal when Sushant was still a student said, “We are not able to believe that the news of his demise is true. He had joyful nature and he was a good sports player. He was not among those who quit anything easily.”

She said Sushant sent an example and they always told other students about it, “He had set an example for (students) to dream bigger and fetch impossible. It’s a never compensating loss to us.” The principal added, It has become so difficult to find out people’s real emotion behind smiling face. One should never think of ending one’s life because he/ she leave lifetime pain and desperation for family and friends. One should always speak one’s heart out to family and friends. Together we can deal with anything. The young students must bring this in practice instead of battling with troubles alone and losing precious life.”

Suniti Bahudur, his Hindi teacher said, “I taught Sushant in Class 9 and 10. I cannot believe the boy who used to make everyone laugh and filled with zeal can do anything like this.” Deepali Gautam, an alumnus of the same school who made her debut in Bollywood with ‘Super 30’ last year, said, “It is like a personal loss to me. I always admired him and followed his steps. In my low times, his success inspired me to fight and step forward.”

As per a PTI report, Sushant’s other alma mater, Delhi Technological University (DTU) issued a statement on the actor’s demise, it read, “DTU family is extremely shocked and sad at the sudden demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput who was our Alumnus (Batch of 2003, Mechanical Engineering). He was not only a popular actor but was also a popular student of DTU-DCE.”
