Actor Rhea Chakraborton Friday took to her Instagram handle to share a short video with late actor to mark the 36th anniversary of his birth. Sushant, who was Rhea’s boyfriend, died in June 2020.
The video shows Rhea and Sushant chilling before a camera in a gymnasium, perhaps after a workout session. The video is set to Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here”.
“Miss you so much ❤️,” Rhea wrote in the caption.

The tragedy resulted in a huge outpouring of grief from the film industry as well as his extensive fanbase. Rhea was brutally trolled by many Sushant fans, and was also in legal trouble and had to spend a few weeks in jail as she was arrested under Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act for allegedly procuring drugs in 2020.
The tragedy left the country in shock and many have since then pointed fingers at the cliques in Bollywood that allegedly exist and the practice of nepotism due to which it is difficult for outsiders to get roles in movies.
Sushant’s last film, Dil Bechara, was released posthumously in 2020. At the 67th National Film Awards ceremony earlier this year, his final theatrical release, Chhichhore, was bestowed with the Best Hindi Feature Film award.
He was also known for movies like Kai Po Che!, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!, Sonchiriya, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story among others.
Rhea Chakraborty was last seen in the Bollywood film Chehre, also starring Emraan Hashmi, Amitabh Bachchan and Krystle D’souza among others.
