Talking about the incident, Shekhar Kapur said, “He called me and he said, ‘Shekhar, mind if we don’t meet this evening? I am a little jet-lagged. Let’s meet tomorrow.’ I said okay. He said, ‘Call me at 9.30, just wake me up.’ At 9.30 in the morning, I felt, ‘Oh my God, I shouldn’t really wake him up. He is jet-lagged.’ Around 11.30, the friend I was staying with said, ‘Shekhar, sit down, I have something to tell you. Heath Ledger is dead.’ I said, ‘Hang on, I just spoke to him.’ And he was gone.”
For the unversed, Heath Ledger was found dead due to accidental drug overdose in his Manhattan apartment.
Shekhar Gupta and Manoj Bajpayee spoke about Heath while they were discussing Sushant Singh Rajput’s tragic demise.
