Maharashtra pacer Digvijay Singh, 21, is still unable to fathom that actor Sushant Singh Rajput is no more. Rajput committed suicide at his Bandra home on Sunday. Digvijay, who played the role of Ali, a young cricketer in the 2013 Bollywood flick Kai Po Che, was coached on screen by Rajput [Ishaan]. In December last year, Digvijay was picked by Mumbai Indians for R20 lakh at the Indian Premier League auctions.
"I don-t know what to say," Digvijay told PTI in a choked voice from his Pune residence. "Sushant bhaiya was the nicest of human beings. Six eventful months of my life was shooting for Kai Po Che where he played the role of my coach. Trust me, he was a good cricketer. We played so much cricket off camera. I was a kid. He entertained me," added Digvijay, who is looking forward to playing in the IPL.
