Sushant Singh Rajput was considered among the most promising, popular, and talented actors of the decade that ends on Thursday. The late actor was known for balancing out-and-out commercial films with content-driven cinema, that won him both critical acclaim and box office success. That was one of the reasons, he had been honoured by a film festival in Vancouver last year.
New year gift for Sushant Singh Rajput fans
On New Year’s eve, Sushant Singh Rajput’s family friend Smita Parikh decided to give ‘SSRians’, a ‘good vibe’. She shared how the Vancouver International South Asian Film Festival had invited him to be a part of an awards ceremony in Canada in November 2019.
They termed him as an ‘iconic and inspirational figure for global audience and Bollywood lovers’ as they conferred him with the ‘VISAFF Youth Icon Award’.

Smita, however, said it was ‘unfortunate’ he did not attend the awards eventually.
Yes of course it was last year everything was planned but then he was restricted to take movies awards and even to respond to many of us. Unfortunate
