Sushant Singh Rajput was no ordinary actor but a man who made sense in every argument made or projected in his interviews. He was a space junkie, a well-learned man, a lover of meta-physics, and someone who believed in being more of an actor than a star. Suddenly, people have started to realize that he was a gem that we lost but the only question that haunts us is where was this outpour of love when he was alive. Itâs been more than half a month that he is gone and people are still trying to wrap their heads around what happened.

Saif Ali Khan, in one of his recent interviews, said that all the love that is coming for Sushant is nothing but hypocrisy and gave valid points about the double standards of the industry. For those who donât know, Saif shot with Sushant for Dil Bechara and will be seen in a special role in the movie. Well, the Nawab of Bollywood has been giving interviews and when asked about Sushant, he has all the good things to mention about him.

Well, Saif has been appreciative of how Sushant was a nice human being and he liked the actor for his generosity. In another interview, he said, "He was very nice to me and he said he wanted to come and have a drink and talk about various things, which never happened, which I feel bad about. Maybe I could have, you know, helped in some way or not⦠I donât know. But after working with him, I quite liked him because he was nice,â said Saif. 

Saif also mentioned in one of the interviews that Sushant was talented and was interested in the same things Saif used to like. âI think he had very refined looks and was very talented. When I met him, I thought he was a little on the edge. And he was a little, I don't know - I think he was looking for something. He was interested in the same things as me in some ways like he liked astronomy, and he liked discussing some of this philosophy,â said Saif.

In an interview with Anupama Chopra, he said that his daughter Sara Ali Khan too was quite fond of him because he was intelligent, hardworking, and a good actor. âShe liked him very much. She was quite impressed with certain aspects of his personality. She told me he was very intelligent, that he could discuss, you know, Jean-Paul Sartre and he could discuss various aspects of philosophy and engineering and that he had learned how to shoot with a bow and arrow left-handed, and he was very fit as well as very hard-working, and a good actor,â said Saif.

After knowing this much, it does feel that we have lost a gem who was a master of his craft and also was an intelligent human being who was different from many people running in the daily race of life.
