Tribute for Sushant
A week ago, New Zealanders held the traditional 'Haka', also popular among Rugby players of the country, at multiple locations. Dressed in the traditional attires, both men and women were seen giving a stunning performance, that includes energetic chants and gestures with traditional objects. The photo of Sushant Singh Rajput was kept at the side of the stage.
Sushant’s family friend Smita Parikh was among those who shared it on Twitter.

In August, another tribute in New Zealand had also gone viral. When the country was the first to resume theatres, they had stood up for a minute before the start of his last film Dil Bechara. Sushant’s sister Shweta Singh Kiriti and actor Ankita Lokhande reacted to it with delight.
Tributes for Sushant
Tributes have been held for Sushant in various ways over the past weeks. Initiatives like ‘feed food 4 SSR’, ‘plant 4 SSR’ had been based on some of his dreams. As lockdown restrictions eased, some also took to the streets, as was evident in the recent Padyatra in the cities of Patna, Varanasi and Kolkata. Sushant’s friends like Ganesh Hiwarkar and Smita Parikh were also a part of these movements.
