Actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s father, KK Singh, has spoken about his son’s death, and confirmed that Sushant was looking to settle down in 2021. Sushant died by suicide on June 14, at the age of 34. He was suffering from depression.

Sushant’s father told Tadka Bollywood that the actor used to be very open with his feeling when he was younger, but became more reclusive in recent years. “Pehle toh sab bolta tha par last me kya hua, usne bataya nahi (He used to be frank before, but didn’t speak much about what he was going through towards the end),” his father said.

About Sushant’s ex-girlfriend, actor Ankita Lokhande, Sushant’s father said that not only did she visit them in Mumbai, but also in Patna. Sushant and Ankita met on the sets of their TV show Pavitra Rishta, and dated for six years. She was spotted visiting Sushant’s Mumbai home after his passing. She was the only girl in Sushant’s life that his father knew of, and he wasn’t aware of Rhea Chakraborty. He also said that he met Kriti Sanon, who praised Sushant immensely at the funeral.
