He said he made the video as a tribute. The 24-minute video is currently trending at number five on YouTube, and has amassed more than 3.4 million views.
PewDiePie said, “He’s a great guy, such a smart guy, such a good message that I sincerely believe in such a tragedy … it really saddens you to think that he passed away at such a young age.” “He added:” The police say that he died of suicide, but at least personally … I cannot understand the suicide and there has been all this controversy and theories about whether he really committed suicide or what happened … I don’t know. on that, but I want it to be just a video (paying tribute to him) because I think he’s a great guy and I wanted to share it with my audience. “

The video tribute is essentially PewDiePie’s reaction to a speech Sushant gave to college students in 2016. “All these years, I was obsessed with what will happen. He was constantly oscillating from the past to the future, without living in a real sense. And for the first time in a long time, I understood the true meaning of success, which was not money plus recognition, but “now” more excitement, “Sushant said.
PewDiePie connected with this. He said in his video: “It’s just this statement I had about living in the moment … obviously this was a couple of years ago, but you wouldn’t kill yourself if you had this mindset … I don’t think so at all, but again, I don’t want to add to that … Rest in peace Sushant … I’d love to meet you … he seems like an amazing guy and thanks for being you. “
PewDiePie was previously involved in a fight with producer Ekta Kapoor, and then campaigned against a major Indian record label in an effort to become the most subscribed YouTube channel.
