In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Manoj Bajpayee said, "He was vulnerable in that matter. He was a good man, and good people are often affected, right? At times, he used to come to me and ask, 'What should I do, sir?' So I used to tell him, 'Bro, don't take it too seriously. I know because I have suffered, I am suffering, I am still suffering."

Manoj Bajpayee also talked about his bond with the Kedarnath actor. Calling him sensitive, Manoj said Sushant was a very intelligent man. He said, "He used to love the mutton dish I  cooked on the set because he was basically from Bihar. So, the meat and rice that we used to eat, I used to cook, and many times he would eat and say, ‘Manoj bhai, I want to come to your house and eat.' I said, ‘As soon as I make it, I will call you.' That was our last conversation. And exactly 10 days later, he passed away.] God bless his soul."

Sushant Singh Rajput died on June 14, 2020. He was found hanging to the ceiling fan of his room in his Mumbai apartment.
