From that, only two hours is the actual time when your brain is actually sleeping, the rest of the time you may be unconscious or asleep, but your mind is still active.”
She continued, “So, he said, I just need two hours of sleep and I was like this is so strange and how does he do this, but he was pretty like energised the next day. He wasn’t tired on set. That was just how he was built and made, it was very fascinating.”

On hearing the news of his death, the actress had tweeted, “Deeply saddened. My heart goes out to Sushants family at this time. Reminiscing and cherishing every moment of our Dhoni shoot. Can’t believe this.. gone too too soon,” on Twitter.
