"Rest in peace Sushant. Prayers and strength to your family and loved ones," the actress wrote on Instagram Story.

 Aishwarya mourns Sushant, her backup dancer at 2006 CWG gala.

Way back in 2006, Sushant was a part of choreographer Shiamak Davar's dance troupe before becoming an actor. As part of the troupe, he was as a backup dancer during Aishwarya's performance at the 2006 Commonwealth Games closing ceremony in Australia.

The video, featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Sushant Singh Rajput, started trending on Thursday after the former Miss World paid tribute to the late actor.

In videos of Aishwarya's performance, the actor can be seen dancing right behind her. In one sequence he even lifts her along with a few other backup dancers at the end of her performance. Watch below:



Sushant has spoken about his experience of working as a backup dancer in Davar's troupe in several interviews after he became a star.

The 34-year-old actor was found hanging in his Mumbai residence on Sunday. His last rites were performed in the presence of his family and friends on Monday.
