The nation had united and lit lamps, candles and torches in April when the battle against COVID-19 had just started. Though on a much smaller scale, many citizens across the nation performed the same gesture, this time for Sushant Singh Rajput. In the same manner, many celebrities had joined the movement then, the stars participated in seeking ‘justice’ and paid tribute to the actor, who passed away last month.
Kangana Ranaut, who has been among the most prominent names to raise her voice against the big names, lit a candle for Sushant. The actress’ team shared the picture from her hometown Manali, while using the trending hashtag.
Here’s the post
The Suman family, Shekhar Suman, wife Alka and son Adhyayan also joined the movement and lit lamps for Sushant.
Adhyayan wrote that Sushant will be’burning in our hearts forever’, hoping he was 'at peace', as he demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into the death. Shekhar Suman wrote that Sushant will be missed dearly.
Actor Meera Chopra prayed for Sushant’s soul and stated that it was still hard for her to accept that he was no more. Using the hashtag, she hoped justice prevailed.
Sushant’s former co-star and girlfriend Ankita Lokhade also performed the gesture and sent him 'hope, prayers and strength' and adding, 'keep smiling.'
The hashtag was initiated by Ishkaran Singh Bhandari, the lawyer who has been appointed by Dr Subramanian Swamy to look into the scope of a CBI probe into the case. He termed it as 'world's No 1 digital protest for justice for Sushant Singh Rajput.' Dr Swamy too joined the movement by lighting the lamp, as he spoke to Republic TV, urging the need for the film industry to be ‘cleansed’ and that pinning the blame only on Sushant was ‘unacceptable.’
