Ranvir Shorey Recalls Seeing Jupiter Through Sushant Singh Rajput's Telescope: 'That’s The Only Time...'

Ranvir Shorey has enthralled audiences with his performances on the silver screen, portraying a variety of roles uniquely. Despite his success, his journey hasn’t been easy. The actor recently spoke candidly his memories of Sushant Singh Rajput.

Speaking about the unfortunate loss of Sushant Singh Rajput, which led to discussions about work culture and cliques in Bollywood. Shorey also mentioned feeling isolated and being subjected to gossip in the industry. “And then this thing happened with Sushant a couple of years later and then I felt like I had to speak out. But all this is, you ask anybody from the film industry, anybody, most of them will say it off record, I can say it on record, I have no problem. This fully happens, you know, ganging up against someone, elbowing them out, standing on somebody’s toes, scuttling somebody’s career. This happens. This is a fact,” he said.

The actor also remembered his friendship with Sushant, particularly their shared love for physics. He said that Sushant had visited his home a few days. “The ace actor also recalled his bond with Sushant over physics. He shared, “I wouldn’t say we were close, but we were friends. We worked together. He had been home a few times. And we got along quite well during the two-month-long shoot of Sonchiriya. And we bonded over physics because both of us love physics. We had a lot of conversations on that,” he said.

“I remember when we were shooting, there was an eclipse. It was a lunar eclipse and Saturn was lining up behind it. He flew down his big telescope from Bombay just for that. And when we were shooting in Dholpur, there was a big telescope in the garden. He called everyone, drinks, you know, cocktails and snacks and all. And that’s the only time I’ve looked through a telescope and seen it straight… There were three. Moon, Jupiter, Saturn lining up. With my eye. And I’m telling you, the feeling of seeing it through your eye via a telescope is very different from looking at it on a screen. There’s something… I don’t know what it is. It’s a different quality of experience… fond memories,” Ranvir added.
