Sushant Singh Rajput’s Family Bids Goodbye To Him With A Statement, To Set Up A Foundation And Turn His Home To A Memorial

It has been 13 days since Sushant Singh Rajput left for his heavenly abode. The 34-year-old was found dead in his apartment. His fans from all over the world have been shocked by his untimely demise and debates on what might have resulted in this tragedy have been raging social media. Amidst the uproar, his family has finally released a statement. Bidding him goodbye, the statement reveals that a foundation of his name would soon be set up to support young talent and his childhood home in Patna would soon be turned to a memorial.

The statement begins with ‘Goodbye Sushant’ and reads,

"The world’s Sushant Singh Rajput was simply Gulshan to us.

He was free-spirited, talkative and incredibly bright. He was curious about just everything. He dreamed without restraints, and chased those dreams with the heart of a lion. He smiled generously. He was the pride and inspiration of the family. His telescope was his most prized possession, through which he fondly gazed at the stars.

We can’t bring ourselves to accept that we wouldn’t get to hear his easy laughs anymore. That we wouldn’t see his sparkling eyes again. That we wouldn’t hear his endless rants about science again. His loss has created a permanent, glaring void in the family that will never be filled.

He truly loved and cherished every single one of his fans. We thank you all for showering our Gulshan with so much love.

To honour his memory and legacy, the family has decided to set up Sushant Singh Rajput Foundation (SSRF) to support young talents in areas close to his heart — cinema, science and sports.

His childhood home in Rajiv Nagar, Patna will be turned into a memorial. We will put his personal memorabilia and belongings there, that include thousands of books, his telescope, flight-simulator etc, for his fans and admirers. From now on, we intend to maintain his Instagram, Twitter and Facebook page as legacy accounts to keep his memories alive.

We once again thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. - Sushant’s family."

Here’s the picture of the statement:

Many fans of the actor have claimed that this might be a cold-blooded murder and demanded an investigation. The post mortem has confirmed that the actor indeed died by hanging. Police have been questioning people close to him and people from the Hindi film industry too. His last film, Dil Bechara, will release soon on July 24th on Disney+Hotstar.

Rest in peace and power, Sushant Singh Rajput.
