Abhishek and Pragya were spotted at Sushant's funeral ceremony along with Kriti Sanon, Vivek Oberoi and others. Earlier, Abhishek had taken to social media and written a tribute for him: "I am shocked and deeply saddened by the loss of my friend. We made two very special films together. He was a generous and fabulous actor, who worked very hard to breathe life into his characters. I pray for his family, whose loss is unmeasurable. He was a huge Science buff and what consumed by what lay beyond in the universe. I'm going to miss you brother. Stay interstellar."
