Sushant Singh Rajput's father KK Singh said that actor Kriti Sanon was the only person who spoke to him at the funeral. He said that while many people came for Sushant's funeral, Kriti was the only one who took the initiative and spoke to him.

KK Singh said that while he did not talk back to Kriti, she said that Sushant was a loving person. A report on BollywoodLife quoted the father saying, "Aaye toh bohot log the lekin humse sirf Kriti Sanon mili thi, ha wo baith ke baat kiya. Hum toh baat nahi kiya, wo jo bol rahi thi hum sunte gaye. (Many people arrived but on Kriti Sanon talked to me. I didn't talk to her and was just listening to whatever she was saying)."

"Kriti Sanon bagal mein baithi thi na aur kisine bataya toh malum hua ki... par wo thi ya nahi thi wo malum nahi ha par ek smart ladki thi aur bol rahi thi ki pyaara ladka tha, yehi sab baat hai. (Kriti was sitting next to me and said that Sushant was a loving person)," he added.

For the unintiiated, Kriti and Sushant were reportedly close friends. They met on the sets of 'Raabta'. The duo was finalized to play the lead role in Mohit Suri's 'Half Girlfriend'. The role eventually went to Arjun Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor.
