Sushant Singh Rajput, 34, passed away on June 14. Two months after his death, the actor’s family conducted a prayer at his residence in Patna. They also urged people to join them in the prayer and sought their support to demand CBI inquiry into his death case. Many Bollywood actors including Parineeti Chopra, Varun Dhawan, Sooraj Pancholi, Daisy Shah and Sanjana Sanghi, among others, took to their social media handles to show support to the family of the late actor.
Recently, Shweta Singh Kirti also shared a throwback video of Sushant where he is seen singing spiritual songs. She captioned the video, “Divine Voice with immense devotion in his heart ️ Love you so much Bhai. #GlobalPrayers4SSR #CBIforSSR #justiceforSushanthSinghRajput #Warriors4SSR #Godiswithus.”
