Sushant was also a devout follower of Lord Shiva and his social media feed is full of posts dedicated to the God. Talking about how his spiritual beliefs were a major part of his unique personality, filmmaker Rumy Jafry said, “We all know he is a big Shiv bhakt. When I went to his farm in Pavna he took me to his lawn where he had installed a statue of Mahadev. In fact, when he visited my house in Mumbai for the first time, he drove down personally and had a hard time finding a parking spot. He then found one at a building next to ours. He got very excited seeing the name of the building, which was ‘Shiv’shakti”
