Taha Shah Badussha On New Sushant Singh Rajput Controversy : In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Taha shared his thoughts on Sushant Singh Rajput comparisons and his memories of Sushant. Taha expressed his admiration for Sushant and his desire to honor his legacy. “I knew Sushant personally. I know how it is to come from outside. I would like to take his legacy forward. People have actually messaged me and told me that I am their new Sushant. How awesome is that? Because I know how much love the audience gave him. I just hope to live up to these expectations,” Taha said. Recalling his interactions with Sushant Singh Rajput, Taha reflected on their shared interests and brief yet meaningful conversations. “He was a very philosophical and intelligent person. He would talk a lot about books, and I relate to him on that. I didn’t spend too much time with him; we talked only at events and parties. When I met him, we talked about NASA. We also talked about ‘Kai Po Che’ because I was being considered for Amit Sadh’s character in the film, but I ended up not getting it because of the age difference,” he shared.
