The schedule for the day includes a Durga Puja for Sushant, Padyatra and door-to-door distribution of brochures and a candle march towards the end. The ‘Padyatra’ is set to conclude in a grand manner in Kolkata. This is apart from Sushant’s images being created by some artists at the Durga Puja pandals.

Sushant’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti, who lives in the USA, had earlier expressed her delight about the fans’ movement. As the Navratri festival kicked off, she remembered her mother and hoped they all get the strength of the divine. She also posted a tweet of SSR from last year with Swami Vivekanand’s quote and Goddess Durga’s image on the occasion.
Maa...on the eve of Navratri I pray to you for strength and wisdom. I am proud the way you raised us. 🙏 Let’s start our Durga Pujo by honoring our own mother first. Hope this Navratri everyone is filled with strength of the divine. #OurMotherOurStrength pic.twitter.com/Db0Z6uLQUr
