On the 13th day of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise, his family has shared a heart-warming note.
Also, as a tribute to the actor, his family will build a foundation in his name – Sushant Singh Rajput Foundation (SSRF) – that will support upcoming artists and talents in the areas of cinema, sports and science as these were the three close subjects to Sushant’s heart.
In a statement released by Sushant’s family, it was revealed that the actor’s Patna home will be converted into a memorial, which will store his personal belongings such as his favorite books, telescope etc.
Also, his social media accounts and website has been maintained in the memory of the late actor. His last film Dil Bechara will release on 24 July on Disney + Hotstar.
The most talented and successful actor was found dead on 14 June at his Bandra residence in Mumbai. According to the police, he died by suicide.
You can read Sushant Singh Rajput’s family’s complete statement here:
“The world’s Sushant Singh Rajput was simply Gulshan to us.
He was free-spirited, talkative and incredibly bright. He was curious about just everything. He dreamed without restraints, and chased those dreams with the heart of a lion. He smiled generously. He was the pride and inspiration of the family. His telescope was his most prized possession, through which he fondly gazed at the stars.
We can’t bring ourselves to accept that we wouldn’t get to hear his easy laughs anymore. That we wouldn’t see his sparkling eyes again. That we wouldn’t hear his endless rants about science again. His loss has created a permanent, glaring void in the family that will never be filled.
He truly loved and cherished every single one of his fans. We thank you for showering our Gulshan with so much love.
To honour his memory and legacy, the family has decided to set up Sushant Singh Rajput Foundation (SSRF) to support young talents in areas close to his heart – cinema, science and sports.
His childhood home in Rajiv Nagar, Patna, will be turned into a memorial. We will put his personal memorabilia and belongings there, that include thousands of books, his telescope, flight-simulator etc, for his fans and admirers. From now on, we intend to maintain his Instagram, Twitter and Facebook page as legacy accounts to keep his memories alive.
We once again, thank you all for the thoughts and prayers.”
