Sushant Singh Rajput’s family to set up a foundation in the memory of the actor

Late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s family has bid their goodbye to him releasing their statement, also announcing to set up a foundation in his name!

It has been almost two weeks since the demise of the actor Sushant Singh Rajput. But the pain is still the same for his friends, family and fans. Sushant’s Instagram account has already been memorialised. His last film Dil Bechara will soon release on Disney+Hotstar on July 24. And as a tribute to the actor, it will be available for everyone to watch. His team has already launched a website in his name to immortalize his thoughts and learnings.

Now the late actor’s family has bid their final good bye to him as they released a statement. They have also announced to set up a foundation in his name to help real talent flourish.  

Read his family’s full statement here:

“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. And 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 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.”
