It was ‘Sushant Day’ on social media as Sushant Singh Rajput’s 35th birth anniversary was celebrated with an outpouring of emotions by his family, fans and friends. Right from his sisters and fans to co-stars, ‘SSRians’ honoured the late actor in heartwarming ways.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s niece pens note on birth anniversary
Calling Sushant Singh Rajput as her ‘Gulshan Mama’, Katyayni shared that her life has been ‘rough’ without him, but nothing such that she could not deal with. She remembered his ‘mischievour glances, bursts of laughter, the light-hearted comments, the underlying understanding, the unspoken words conveyed through eyes.’ Calling him her ‘source of energy’ and his presence as ‘precious’, she wrote that it was still ‘impossible’ for her to believe that she was breathing the same air that her uncle used to, but without him.
SSR’s niece termed him as ‘simple yet complex’, ‘so light hearted yet deep rooted at the same time’, ‘a piece of work’, ‘magic’ and more. She shared that she was missing his ‘thank you beta’ message and feeling the irresistible urge to imagine that he was still around, describing the feeling as ‘happy and miserable’, ‘unnaturaral and strange’. Katyayni accepted that things were never going to be same again, and there was nothing that could replace the 'dent' he had left behind.
On his birth anniversary, her gift to Sushant was ‘acceptance’, writing that she wanted to make him proud by being strong in accepting that he was no longer with them. She stated that he had penned the note after hours of trying to hold back her thoughts and thinking about him.
She shared she was ready to channelise all within her in his 'honourable memory' and highlighting her ‘blood of greatness’, she promised to mkae him pro. She added that though he now exited in a ‘different plane of reality’, and was not a part of her world anymore, this was 'not the only world.'

Sushant, who passed away on June 14 last year, was honoured with tributes by other members of his family, like sisters Shweta, Priyanka and Meetu, who posted pictures and shared their thoughts. Right from ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande to co-stars like Kriti Sanon, Rajkummar Rao, there were tributes galore. Fans held initiatives to perform charity while some of them arranged dance-based events to honour his love for dancing.
