As a eulogy to Sushant Singh Rajput, Arjun Kapoor had posted a screenshot of their bittersweet conversation from December 2018. Arjun had captioned the post as "18 months ago... My last msg to him was when he posted about his mom a week after the release of Kedarnath. He was missing her I assume while the movie was being celebrated. I didn’t know him well enough though our paths crossed at yrf, events & screenings every now & then. I can’t say I understood what made him make this choice. I can say I felt the pain he did about losing his bearings & feeling that void of his mother. I hope ur in a better & happier space my friend. I hope u have found ur peace. We will all wonder & try & make sense of what happened today. I just hope & pray that when the circus settles down we as a society in due course realise ur choice wasn’t driven by one singular moment or thing but a culmination of so much that defines a human being not just by the profession u were in. Rest my dear brother Sushant you are now I hope at peace." For the uninitiated, Sushant had lost his mother in 2002, and Arjun's mother had left for the heavenly abode in 2012. And both couldn't witness the success their sons had achieved in Bollywood.
