Alvida Sushant Singh Rajput

I don't recall the last time(or the first time) when death of a movie star affected me so deeply. But then I had a personal connection with Sushant. I never met him but after watching him in Chhichhore it felt as if he was one of us or I was one of them.

It was a movie based on and shot in my college, my hostel, my block of the hostel, my floor in that block and possibly my room(I would like to believe that). The story and its portrayal felt as real as it ever could. It rekindled my love for my beloved H4 which I had lost touch of since passing out. So much so that I made a visit to it after 15 years just to feel those days again. I hope he has what we wants wherever he is. For me, he will always be a fellow HIVite(nickname for H4 residents). Always positive! Never a loser!
