  Not fair my brother. I run short of words to describe how I feel today. You were an achiever my friend and everyone who knew you was so proud of you💔 wish you had stayed at the crease a little longer. Will miss you always bhai.... Always. Today we lost a friend, a colleague & this loss is irreparable. I request my friends from the media not to sensationalise this, I request everyone not to share his last images. A boy who came to this city with dreams in his eyes and achieved so much, has left us forever. Let him rest in peace. 🙏

Rajput's demise has sparked the nepotism debate in Bollywood once again. When asked to express his views on the uproar, Sood said that it is not right to blame one section of the industry for someone’s death.

The Happy New Year star admitted that for an outsider it takes double efforts to navigate the industry. He, however, is aware of the fact that those who are being blamed for Sushant's death are also the people who have given life to a lot of people in the industry.

Sonu, who hails from Moga, a small town located near Punjab's Firozepur-Ludhiana Highway, feels that Sushant’s demise is a huge tragedy. Talking about the misplaced anger among people following the passing of actor Sushant, Sood said people should not play blame games while assuming what pushed him to take his life.
