Sushant Singh's fan appeals to Aaditya Thackeray to rename Bandra street after him

A month has passed since Sushant Singh Rajput's demise and to honour his memory, a fan and family friend of Sushant has appealed to authorities to rename the actor’s apartment street in Mumbai after him. According to a report, the actor's fan and family friend, Nilotpal Mrinal contacted Aaditya Thackeray and BMC commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal to rename the Bandra Street where Sushant lived after him.

According to the report, he appealed to Aaditya Thackeray and to the BMC chief who further guided him to the H(West) municipal ward officials under whose jurisdiction the area falls. The report claimed that Mrinal urged that it should be named after him if not a lane, then a roundabout or garden. During an interview with a news portal, Mrinal said that the municipal authorities are currently battling the pandemic.

He also said that they have assured him saying they will look into the matter at the earliest. Mrinal further said that the actor’s loss is still being mourned and it is only apt that the street where he resided be named after him. He also mentioned that the late actor had a dream of becoming a movie star in Mumbai and therefore he wanted the street to be renamed after him.

Just a few days ago in Purnea, Bihar, the home town of Sushant, a street and a roundabout was renamed after him to honour his memory. The people of Purnea, the home district of Sushant, had requested that a road and chowk be renamed in memory of the actor. The municipal corporation has now changed the street name to Sushant Singh Rajput Chowk. The newly renamed road and chowk was inaugurated by Purnea mayor Savita Devi.
