Though they never met in person, Ali shared the strange and emotional timing of the events, and reflected on how he heard the news about Sushant while going through his own heartbreak. Hearing about Sushant during grief Ali recently spoke to Mid-day about how he found out about Sushant Singh Rajput's demise in June 2020. At the time, Ali was at a hospital in Lucknow, dealing with his mother's failing health. He said, "It's very disheartening when something like that happens. It's weird because I was myself going through a different period because three days after that, I lost my mother. So I was in a freaking hospital in Lucknow, dealing with that, and I didn't have the mind space to process anything else happening around that time. But yes, I did. Of course, later I got to know because the chatter was all over. It's sad. He was a very smart guy.
