After the actor`s demise, there were several conspiracy theories surrounding Sushant’s demise that surfaced on news channels. Now, the Love Sex aur Dhokha director Dibakar Banerjee, who has worked with Sushant on Detective Byomkesh Bakshy, has shared that he feels that people just wanted gossip.
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, Dibakar Banerjee shared how Sushant`s death became a gateway to misery. While talking about the ‘Pavitra Rishta’ actor’s demise, Banerjee said, “When he passed away, there was so much going on in the news about the cause of his death. I had to cut myself off from everything. I was listening to everything but couldn`t hear anybody saying that a young actor died. I couldn`t see anybody around mourning him. All I could see was people trying to find out spicy gossip. So, I had to walk away from the situation.”
