Vivek Oberoi on attending Sushant Singh Rajput's funeral and going through a dark phase: 'Have been there, things that Sushant…'

Vivek Oberoi, who was last seen Rohit Shetty’s Indian Police Force, spoke about mental health issues and late actor Sushant Singh Rajput in an interview with Humans of Bombay. He shared, “I have met Sushant, interacted with him, he was a lovely boy, phenomenal talent and absolute tragedy to lose him.”

The actor added, “If I am being absolutely honest, there is a very dark place you can get to in life, especially when professional, personal everything starts going wrong at the same time. I have been there, at the edge of darkness. It is not that I have not thought about things that Sushant did."

On SSR’s funeral

There were 20 people at the funeral. I was one of them. In that rain, I saw the shattered eyes of the father and the only thought I had looking at his body there was, ‘Buddy if you had seen this scene, if you saw what this action would do to the people you love, you wouldn’t have taken this step. Think what would you do by ending your life to the ones who genuinely love you, the hurt and pain.
