Five years after Sushant Singh Rajput's death, sister Shweta urges fans not to lose heart even if CBI has submitted report
Agencies On Sushant's 5th death anniversary, sister Shweta remembered him fondly.
On this day, five years ago, actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Bandra apartment. The news of his demise sent shockwaves across India, leaving both the film industry and millions of his admirers in a state of collective grief and disbelief. Known for his powerful performances, intelligence, and magnetic presence, Sushant's loss still feels deeply personal to many.Despite the passage of time, the circumstances surrounding his death remain clouded by unanswered questions and ongoing legal complexities. The official explanation continues to be scrutinized, with public opinion divided and investigations still surrounded by controversy. Yet amid the ambiguity, what remains certain is the profound emptiness left behind by his absence.
On his fifth death anniversary, his sister Shweta Singh Kirti took to social media to pay a heartfelt homage to the 'Kai Po Che' star. Taking to Instagram, Shweta reminisced about her late brother and his zeal for life and learning. She also urged fans not to spread negativity in his name. Her message delved into the ideals Sushant embodied: a boundless enthusiasm for life, a deep intellectual curiosity, and a sincere, childlike innocence that endeared him to everyone.
Through her words, she urged fans not to let grief translate into despair or bitterness but instead to honor her brother by embracing kindness and learning—qualities he passionately stood for.She revealed that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had submitted its findings regarding the case, and her family was in the process of reviewing them. But more than legal progress, her focus remained on encouraging people to stay resilient and faithful, both to goodness and to divine timing. For Shweta, Sushant's soul continues to exist not just in her memories but in the people who uphold his ideals.In her moving appeal, Shweta also urged Sushant's followers not to allow his name to be misused as a symbol of negativity or hate. She emphasized that every act of unconditional love, every curious question asked, and every innocent joy experienced helps revive Sushant's spirit in some way. She reminded everyone that he was a symbol of inspiration, not conflict. Shweta expressed a desire to see his legacy carried forward by those who light up the world with positivity, just as he did. "Every time we love with all our heart, every time we have childlike innocence towards life, and every time we are inclined to learn more, we are bringing him alive. Never use Bhai's name to spread any negative feeling… he wouldn't like that. Let his legacy continue…" she wrote. In March, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) presented its report to a special court in Mumbai, following a prolonged and high-profile inquiry. The initial investigation conducted by the Mumbai Police had concluded that Sushant Singh Rajput's death appeared to be a suicide.
As reported by the Times Of India, officials at the time found no signs of forced entry into his residence, and early observations pointed towards mental health struggles, with depression being considered a possible factor. His body was discovered hanging from the ceiling fan, a detail that deeply shocked the nation. However, the absence of a suicide note at the scene raised further questions, fueling speculation and demanding a more in-depth probe.
In June 2020, Sushant Singh Rajput was discovered unresponsive at his apartment in Mumbai, a heartbreaking moment that stunned the nation.

Jonita Gandhi recalls being cyberflashed, receiving ‘d**k pic with my photo in the background' on Instagram: ‘It's disgusting'
There's no exaggeration in saying that almost every woman has faced online sexual abuse or harassment in one form or another. While commoners themselves endure such traumatic experiences frequently, the situation is far grimmer for celebrities, who live in the public eye and are constantly subjected to hypersexualisation. Recently, singer Jonita Gandhi shared a disturbing experience she faced online, which served as a stark reminder that just when you think perpetrators can no longer shock you with their actions, they find new, even more unsettling ways to do so. In a recent interview, Jonita recalled being a victim of cyberflashing, where a person posted a picture of his genitals with her photo in the background. 'Some things are kind of traumatic. On Instagram, you can check your mentions, and I'd see that I'd been added to someone's Close Friends stories. Then I'm seeing it's a d**k pic. It has a watermark with their thing and my photo in the background. It's disgusting. It's harassment. But I keep ignoring such things,' she told Hauterrfly. Post Credits Scene | Bhool Chuk Maaf: Rajkummar Rao has become the poster boy for losers; he plays the same character over and over again She also opened up about facing racism and body image issues as an Indian growing up in Canada. 'I used to get a lot of racist comments about my facial hair while growing up. They used to call me Godzilla, and even the Punjabi boys in my class would make fun of me. Growing up, I was convinced that I was never going to have sex because of the same issues. I couldn't accept my own body; how can someone else accept it? I still have some of those issues; I still avoid swimming sometimes, but music made it better. I feel like I am the ugly duckling who became the swan.' Renowned for lending her voice to superhit songs such as 'Chennai Express', 'Mental Manadhil', 'The Breakup Song', 'Gilehriyaan', 'Sacchi Mohabbat', 'Main Tumhara', 'Deva Deva' and 'What Jhumka?', she has also sung in Urdu, Telugu, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati and Bengali languages.
