It was on June 14, 2020, that Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput breathed his last. The actor, 34, passed away in Mumbai, leaving behind a sea of mourning fans, friends, colleagues, and family members. Throughout his career in films, Sushant delivered many memorable films including Kai Po Che! Shuddh Desi Romance, PK, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, Kedarnath, Sonchiriya, and Chhichhore among others. The actor’s last film, Dil Bechara was a posthumous release. But apart from his dedication to films, the actor was also known for being humble and friendly with his colleagues in the film industry. He also enjoyed a massive fan-following, who continue to remember him on social media. 

To mark his first death anniversary, many celebrities have taken to social media to pen posts in his loving memory. While some continued to seek justice for the other, some remembered the good times spent with him. 

Actor Pulkit Samrat took to social media to share an elaborate note remembering the celebrated actor. “Sushant Singh Rajput, you are missed,” wrote Pulkit alongside his note. In his heartfelt post, the actor recounted briefly crossing paths with Sushant at an award function. “We shook hands briefly and went our separate ways,” he wrote. The actor echoed the sentiments of many sharing that Sushant’s loss felt like a personal loss. “The world lost you, but you still exist as an inspiration to those who dare to dream big. You exist in the hopes and aspiration of every small town guy who dreams of making it big some day,” read a part of his post. Pulkit shared the note along with a photograph of the late actor. 

While Pulkit reminisced his meeting with SSR, comedian Shekhar Suman sought justice for the actor. “It’s my firm belief that SSR was murdered brutally and did not commit suicide. And if that’s the case why are the culprits roaming around scot free?why justice is being delayed? why there is no closure???and many more unanswered questions.we need all d answers(sic),” read one of his posts on Twitter. 

Aly Goni, who recently featured in Bigg Boss 14, changed his Instagram display picture to Sushant’s photo and shared a sketch in his memory. Many other celebrities including Arjun Bijlani, Bhumi Pednekar, Gurmeet Chaudhary and more also remembered the actor.  Filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor, who worked with him in Kedarnath and Kai Po Che!, shared that he is ‘still numb’ over the news.
