Former Australia international Shane Watson, who plays for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) took to Twitter to pay amoving tribute to late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
Sushant committed suicide at his Bandra house in Mumbai on Sunday; he was just 34.
Sushant had portrayed the role of former India captain MS Dhoni in his biopic ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’, and Watson singled out the actor’s performance in the movie to say how talented he was.
“I can’t stop thinking about #sushantsinghrajput. It is just so tragic!!! In The Untold Story, at times you forgot whether it was Sushant or MSD. Amazing portrayal and now the world is much poorer with him not here in it. #gonetoosoon,” Watson wrote as his caption on Twitter, sharing a photo of the late actor.
