Jerusalem: Calling Sushant Singh Rajput as “a true friend,” Israel has expressed its deepest condolences at the passing away of the young Bollywood star.

Rajput, 34, was found dead in his Bandra apartment on Sunday.

On Tuesday, Gilad Cohen, deputy director-general of Israel’s foreign ministry, took to Twitter to mourn the actor’s sudden demise.
