Actress/dancer Lauren Gottlieb has shared screenshots of her WhatsApp conversations with Sushant Singh Rajput from 2016, mentioning that the conversation broke her heart all over again.

The chat shows Lauren expressing her desire to sign a big Bollywood film, while Sushant motivates her in the nicest way possible. Sharing six screenshots of their conversation, Lauren wrote, "Today, I finally brought myself to look at my WhatsApp messages with Sushant over the years. I came across one conversation that broke my heart all over again, as it was filled with so much love, kindness, and true support for one another’s dreams! I felt a deep connection with Sushant as we were both "outsiders" and I looked up to him tremendously! I wanted to share this chat we had to remind everyone to walk, talk, and treat EVERYONE with this great amount of LOVE and SUPPORT as HE shared!!! I'm seeing so much hate going around. I do not want to tell anyone how to grieve, my process this week looked pretty ugly, BUT I think one of the BEST ways to honor his legacy is to BE THE BRIGHT, BEAUTIFUL, LOVING LIGHT that he exuded each and every day. The world is a better place because of Sushant's humble heart. Let's keep sharing his magic and be kind to one another."

34-year-old Bollywood star Sushant, who had been going through a difficult time emotionally, took his own life on Sunday, June 14.

He made his Bollywood debut with the film Kai Po Che, was last seen in the 2019 blockbuster Chhichhore. The actor received critical acclaim for his portrayal of former Indian skipper MS Dhoni in his biopic.
