Ranvir Shorey recently opened up about his fond memories with the late Sushant Singh Rajput while promoting Sonchiriya. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Shorey confirmed that Sushant often listened to trance music before his shots to get into character—something many actors do. He then shared one of his most cherished moments from their time in Dholpur, where Sushant surprised the entire team by having his large telescope brought to the set so everyone could witness a rare celestial event together. Scroll down to read what he said and watch the full interview.

Ranvir Shorey On Late Sushant Singh Rajput

When asked if his co-star, the late Sushant Singh Rajput, used to listen to trans music before his shots, Ranvir Shorey answered, “Trance music toh sunta tha woh… he used to listen to music, you know. He used to listen to music to set himself in the mood. And I believe a lot of actors do that.”

Ranvir Recalls Best Memory With Sushant

Speaking of his best memories with Sushant, the Sonchiriya actor recalled, “One of the best memories I have with him is jab hum log Sonchiriya ki shooting kar rahe the Dholpur mein. And ek celestial event hone wala tha, an alignment of the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn… shayad aisa kuch tha, sorry yaar. And hum log Dholpur mein the shooting ke liye. Bhai sahab ne bina bataye kisi ko, apna jo bada telescope tha, woh pura pack karwa ke yahan mangwaya. Garden mein setup karwaya Dholpur mein. Phir sabko bulaya ki ‘aao, dekho event’. Hum wahan pahunche, drinks, snacks — matlab, I can’t tell you what a beautiful moment.”

He added, “Aur main sabko yeh baat kehna chahunga — please, screen pe Jupiter–Saturn–Moon dekhna ek cheez hai. Lekin jab aap telescope pe dekhte ho… You know there’s a difference, right? This is a digital medium. And through a telescope, you’re looking at it through optical light, real light from that object coming to the lens. Direct light aap optics se dekh rahe ho. It is a different experience, boss. So, sabko main kahunga… main toh waise bhi science ka, you know I’m a lover of science, it’s my hobby. Right? But I will recommend to everyone, apni life mein ek baar asli telescope ke through yeh cheezein zaroor dekhna. It is a different quality of experience. So anyway, coming back… this is one of my, not just with Sushant, this is one of my greatest memories ever. Haan, Sushant ke saath toh definitely this is the top one.”

Justice Delayed? Sushant Singh Rajput’s Family Challenges CBI’s Closure Report, Seeks Answers! | Glamsham.com

written by jummy84

After over four years of probe, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has found that there is no evidence of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput having been illegally detained, intimidated, or incited to kill himself by Rhea Chakraborty or anyone else. The agency’s closure report, seen by Hindustan Times, also found no evidence of financial misappropriation or diversion of Sushant’s property by Rhea or her family.

The CBI noted that even Sushant had addressed Rhea as “family” when they were together, according to officials privy to the report. The report mentioned, “None of the accused persons had lived or stayed with him between June 8, 2020, and June 14, 2020—the day he was found hanging in his Bandra flat.” The report added further that though Sushant was in contact with Rhea’s brother Showik Chakraborty on WhatsApp on June 10, he did not have any contact with Rhea at that time. His sister Meetu Singh was with him from June 8 to June 12, two days prior to his passing.

The report rejects charges of wrongful confinement, coercion, or financial exploitation. The report also makes it clear that Rhea and Showik walked out of Sushant’s house on June 8 with just personal items—an Apple laptop and a watch presented by Sushant. The report categorically mentions, “No evidence has emerged of any property dishonestly taken out of Sushant’s possession.”

The CBI probe included two concurrent cases — one by Sushant’s father, K.K. Singh, in Patna against abetment and financial irregularities, and another filed by Rhea against Sushant’s sisters in Mumbai. The investigators concluded that Sushant’s affairs were taken care of by his chartered accountant and attorney, who had complete control of his accounts. The report further added that cost incurred for Rhea, including the 2019 European tour of the couple, was within rules and done willingly by Sushant.

But Sushant’s family has disputed the CBI findings, terming the report as incomplete and misleading. Their attorney, Advocate Varun Singh, remarked, “This is nothing but an eyewash. If CBI really wanted to come out with the truth, it would have submitted all supporting case documents including chats, technical records, statements, and medical reports.” He further said that the family will seek a protest petition against what they term as a “shoddy investigation.

The case, which had sparked nationwide outrage and political debates between Bihar and Maharashtra, will next be heard on December 20, when a Patna court reviews the CBI’s closure report. Despite the agency’s conclusion, Sushant’s family insists they will continue their fight for what they believe is long-overdue justice.

Actor Sushant Divgikar has penned a long note for Jaya Bachchan as a section of people ‘mercilessly troll and verbally abuse’ her. Taking to Instagram, Sushant said that people say “nastiest things” about her. Sushant then shared details of how, over the years, Jaya has extended her help to the visually impaired, autistic, HIV-infected and children diagnosed with cancer.

Sushant Divgikar defended Jaya Bachchan amid trolling.

Sushant Divgikar showers praises Jaya Bachchan

Sushant began their note saying that they wanted to talk about the “reality of Jaya Bhaduri Bachchan Ji.” “I have, as a lot of you that are active on social media may have witnessed, merciless trolling and verbal abuse towards Jaya di! There is this narrative that has been created about her and it’s appalling to see how people that know nothing about her have been so quick to jump on the bandwagon and have said the nastiest things about this lady!” the actor wrote.

Sushant opens up about how Jaya helped kids

The actor recalled that the first time they encountered Jaya was as a 14-year-old child while helping their parents put up the “first ever quiz for visually impaired, blind, hearing impaired children and children with autism in association with a Mumbai-based NGO called DEEDS.” Sushant recalled that their mother tried to connect with celebrities to become the chief guests of the event. They added that in the end, “three wonderful angels” said that “they would he more than happy to come and be with the kids and grace the event, free of cost.”

Sushant added that they were Raveena Tandon, Yuvraj Singh and Jaya. The actor revealed that Jaya kept in touch with their mother and “helped several children in various cities, towns and villages with education, monthly and yearly rations and even helped their families with additional funding for daily needs and essential goods.” Sushant added that in return, Jaya only asked “for the media not to he there.”

Jaya’s sweet gesture for kids

Jaya had even arranged a special screening of Paa, along with Amitabh Bachchan, for kids infected with HIV, “and then another for kids with cancer.” She had even volunteered to open her in-house home theatre to the children and their parents so that they didn’t have to endure potential allergies due to their fragile immunity.

Sushant called Jaya “one of the most splendid artistes of the Indian film industry”, adding that she has been “the reason why so many live and smile.” “Everyone on borrowed time and probably borrowed internet and WIN has an opinion without knowing a person, and here is a person that chooses to quietly change lives and doesn’t even speak about it,” read a part of the actor’s note.

Sharing the post, Sushant captioned the post, “So much going on in the world and yet, we choose to troll someone we know nothing about!! @amitabhbachchan ji @bachchan, pranaam (hello) to Jaya Ji and I toh lovvvve her!! Always told my mumma I wanted to be as graceful and giving as her when I grow up and I hope I can be even a percent of what she has been with her philanthropy!”

Internet reacts to the post supporting Jaya

Reacting to the post, a fan said, ” All she wishes is for Indians to have more respect and civic sense in public settings, which we lack a lot, and her outbursts are basically out of years of seeing things worsen.” A person wrote, “People only judge what they see, not what a person is going through or has gone through.” “We’re in an age where we’re putting an elderly woman on blast for being annoyed at rage-baiting paparazzi and people who get into her personal space,” read a comment.

About Jaya Bachchan

For quite some time now, Jaya has been criticised by a section of the people on social media platforms for her stance on paparazzi, who click pictures, record videos, and follow celebrities at all events. She is often seen schooling the paparazzi.

Jaya was last seen in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023), directed by Karan Johar. The film stars Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in lead roles.
