"They forgot to celebrate him. TRP has become the focus now. So that’s why I said that there are so many vested interests now, who would want to talk about how (Sushant) used to code? Right now, every thing is focused on TRPs."

He further added that he felt like whatever he said would be misinterpreted due to the "vested interests" out there. Referring to the debate and discussions on news channels regarding Sushant's death, Bajpayee said, "Every hour, the topic of discussion is changing. This is very sad. I think we have all left Sushant behind in all this."

"The heartbreak me, Shekhar Kapoor, his family have felt, we still cannot believe it."
