It has been a tough one month for the family, friends, and fans of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, since his tragic demise in June. Apart from Sushant's fans and friends, his sister, Shweta Singh Kirti also penned a moving note on social media yesterday, saying she could still feel her dear brother's presence. She wished for his happiness.

She added, "Your twinkling eyes taught the world how to dream, your innocent smile revealed the true purity of your heart... Know that everyone loved, loves you and will always love you unconditionally."
As July 14 marked one month of Sushant's demise, many of his friends remembered him fondly. Sushant's last director and close friend Mukesh Chhabra lamented how he would not get any more calls from the actor now. Chhabra's Instagram display picture also features Sushant. His former girlfriend Ankita Lokhande, producer Ekta Kapoor, and friend Rhea Chakraborty also poured their hearts out on social media.
Sushant was found dead at his apartment in Mumbai on June 14. The police said he died by suicide. He had been battling depression for the past few months. The late actor's last rites were held in the city on June 15. Meanwhile, an investigation into his death is currently being carried out by Mumbai Police and several known personalities have been questioned.
Sushant first shot to fame with popular TV serial Pavitra Rishta. The actor made an impressive Bollywood debut in 2013 with Abhishek Kapoor's critically-acclaimed movie Kai Po Che. He went on to star in movies such as PK, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!, M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, and Sonchiriya. His last theatrical outing, Chhichhore, was a superhit.
Sushant's final movie, Dil Bechara, will be out on Disney+ Hotstar on July 24. Based on John Green's novel The Fault in Our Stars, it tells the story of two youngsters: Kizie (Sanjana Sanghi), a girl suffering from cancer and Manny (Sushant), a boy whom she meets at a support group.
