Immoral to Seek Publicity Through Sushant Singh Rajput’s Death, Actor Nishant Malkani

Nishant played the lead role of Anukalp Gandhi in Preet Se Bandhi Ye Dori Ram Milaayi Jodi around the same time as Sushant was becoming a household name playing Manav Deshmukh in Pavitra Rishta. Both the shows were aired on the same channel.

“Sushant and I were a part of Zee TV in 2010 and 2011. My show used to air at 9 pm while his was at 9.30 pm. We did a lot of ‘maha’ episodes and events together, and thus interacted during shoots. I knew him during that period. Later, I quit Zee TV and he also quit television for films, so we lost touch. But what I remember is that he was a humble, hardworking and talented guy. He was somebody who would take charge of a scene and deliver it the way the writers wanted,” Nishant recalled.

The CBI is currently investigating Sushant’s case now and Nishant asserts that the guilty should be punished.

“Forget about being an industry colleague, I think as a human being I feel that if someone took his life then the culprit needs to come out and should be punished,” he said.
