The 34-year-old actor, known for films such as 'Kai Po Che!', 'Kedarnath' and 'M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story', among others, was found hanging at his Bandra apartment, a police official told news agency PTI.
"Blurred past evaporating from teardrops. Unending dreams carving an arc of smile. And a fleeting life, negotiating between the two. Maa", Rajput wrote in a heartfelt tribute to his mother on June 3.
