Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide came as a shock to many and opened up a can of worms in Bollywood owing to its nepotistic nature. While many have paid tribute, the sweetest tribute we’ve seen is from one of his older sisters Shweta Singh Kriti, who flew down from the States where she resides and posted a heartwarming and emotional post on her Facebook page.
Sharing an image of her late brother, and a note he had once penned for her, she wrote, “Your twinkling eyes taught the world how to dream, ur innocent smile revealed the true purity of ur heart. you will always be loved mera Baby and so so much more…. Whereever ur mera baby stay happy….stay fulfilled and know that everyone loved, loves u and will always love you unconditionally.”
She added, “All my dear ones…. I know it is testing time… but whenever there is choice…. choose love above hatred, choose kindness and compassion above anger and resentment choose selflessness above selfishness and forgive…. forgive yourself, forgive others and forgive everyone. Everybody is fighting their own battles…. be compassionate to yourself and be compassionate to others and everyone. Let not ur heart close everrrrrr, at any cost!!!! #Sushantsinghrajput”.
Shweta couldn’t make it in time to attend his funeral since it wasn’t easy for her to get on a flight, however, she is finally reunited with her family and in a post earlier today, she revealed that they are back in their ancestral home in Patna to perform Asthi Visarjan (Ashes Immersion) for him.
Sushant’s family has also launched a website that features his legacy. His team posted, “He is away but he is still alive with us. Kickstarting #SelfMusing mode https://selfmusing.com/ Fans like you were real “godfather” for Sushant. As promised to him, converting this space into a collection of all his thoughts, learnings, dreams, and wishes, he always wanted people to know. Yes, we are documenting all the positive energies he has left behind in this world. #AlwaysAlive #BestofSSR.”
The family has suffered enough tragedy with Sushant’s sister-i-law passing away owing to the shock and the media circus surrounding his death.
Here’s hoping the family has the strength to carry on.
