On a day mixed with nostalgia and poignant memories, Shweta Singh Kirti took to social media to commemorate the birth anniversary of her beloved brother, the late Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput. The actor, who carved a niche for himself in the hearts of millions with his charismatic screen presence and philanthropy, was fondly remembered by his sister through a heartfelt Instagram post that showcased a collage video of Sushant’s happiest moments.
The video edit shared by Shweta was more than just a montage; it was a moving tribute to a life that, though cut short, was brimming with promise and purpose. Accompanying the visuals was a touching caption penned by Shweta that read, “Happy Birthday to My Sona Sa Bhai. Love you forever…infinity to the power infinity.

May everyone understand that Godward is the only way forward and make you proud. 3…2….1 Happy birthday our guiding star, May you always shine and show us the path.” With hashtags like #happybirthdaysushantsinghrajput and #sushantmoon, she celebrated her brother’s life and the immeasurable impact he had.
Shweta’s caption further reflected a poignant wish for her brother to feel the love and wishes from his fans, hoping that even in heaven, he would be overwhelmed by “the immense affection we are showering upon him.” This sentiment resonated with countless fans who quickly took to the comments section to express their love and gratitude toward Sushant. The flow of red heart emoticons and emotional messages underscored the collective mourning and celebration of a soul gone too soon.
Fans left messages like “Happy Birthday Sush” and “Hppy bday sushant singh Rajput,” echoing the sense of loss and remembrance felt by many. Sushant’s journey was not just in celluloid but in the hearts he touched, the dreams he inspired, and the conversations he sparked about the importance of mental health.
Tragically, Sushant Singh Rajput’s life came to an abrupt end on June 14, 2020, under circumstances that led to a whirlwind of controversy. Originally deemed a suicide by the Mumbai Police, the case took a dramatic turn as it was transferred to the CBI at the behest of the actor’s family. Various angles, including a narcotics probe, were pursued in the investigation, although the CBI has yet to present their conclusive report.
In the wake of his passing, Sushant’s residence in Patna was transformed into a memorial, adorned with his personal belongings, including his telescope, books, and guitar, allowing fans to keep his memory alive and close. It was a space replete with echoes of his spirit and the passions that fueled his off-screen life.
The legacy of Sushant Singh Rajput’s career in Bollywood began with an impactful performance in ‘Kai Po Che’ and was further solidified by his portrayal of the Indian cricket legend M.S. Dhoni in the biopic ‘M.S Dhoni – The Untold Story’. His kind gestures towards fans and the display of genuine warmth catapulted him to a broadly cherished status. ‘Chhichhore’, Sushant’s penultimate film release, was a box office success, leaving audiences with a powerful message on resilience and friendship. His final appearance was in ‘Dil Bechara’, opposite Sanjana Sanghi, streaming directly to an OTT platform, which became a bittersweet farewell for his admirers, old and new alike.
His depth as an artist and his commitment to his craft have left an indelible mark on the film industry, one that is celebrated with bittersweet reverence on occasions such as his birth anniversary. As fans and family members commemorate his life and work, the promise of Sushant Singh Rajput continues to shimmer like the stars he once gazed upon, guiding those he inspired towards kindness, generosity, and the pursuit of their dreams.
