Sara Ali Khan, who worked with Rajput in her 2018 debut “Kedarnath”, shared a picture with the late actor and recalled how he was instrumental in “introducing” her to the world of acting.
“Whenever I needed help, advice or a laugh you were always there. You introduced me to the world of acting, made me believe that dreams could come true, and gave me all that I have today. Still can’t believe you’re gone. But every time I look at the stars, the rising sun or the moon I know you’re here. From ‘Kedarnath’ to Andromeda,” the actor wrote.

Rajput’s former girlfriend, actor Rhea Chakraborty, posted an emotional note on Instagram remembering her “love”. “There isn’t a moment where I believe that you aren’t here anymore. They said that time heals everything but you were my time and my everything.
