SSR's creative manager Siddharth Pithani took to his Instagram handle to share a heartfelt note with a picture of him.

He wrote, "As we were waiting to board a flight to your home town, you played a string of videos from your phone. From a live performance of you on stage, a small documentary on supermassive black hole and a cricket match. A brother, a friend, a teacher and a mentor.I’m sure you’re somewhere around Andromeda Galaxy right now. Rest in peace sushant sir, Buddha miss you."
