Janhvi Kapoor also mourned the late actor's death and stated that she resonates with his fans. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, she said, "I think when you are an actor and when you have done the kind of work my mom has done, Sushant has done, the way he has touched people’s life. Especially in the case of Indian audiences, I feel there is a sense of ownership for actors. They really own you. The way they love you in this country I don’t think that any actor in any other country gets that kind of love. So I understand that the feeling of loss is very personal.”
