Sushant's sister Priyanka recalls sweet memory of 'Sonchiriya'; brother-in-law shares text

One of the reasons why Sushant Singh Rajput was considered among the acclaimed stars of the last decade was because he blended ‘content-driven’ ventures with out-and-out commercial movies. One example of the former category was him taking up a film like Sonchiriya. Apart from his fans who praised his work in the movie, the late actor also left an impact on his family members, who remembered the movie as it completed two years.
