It is so tragic that someone that was so incredibly talented has left our world way too soon,” Watson wrote as his caption on Instagram, sharing a photo of the late actor.
“In The Untold Story, at times you forgot whether it was Sushant or MSD. Amazing portrayal and now the world is much poorer with him not here in it,” Watson further wrote.
