Pulkit Samrat posted a heartfelt note on Sushant Singh Rajput’s death anniversary, accompanied by a picture of the late actor. Both Sushant and Pulkit had come to Mumbai years ago to make it big in Bollywood.

In his social media post, the Fukrey actor wrote, “It has been a year since the world lost you, and my mind immediately goes back to the times when we crossed paths briefly, at an award function. We shook hands briefly and went our separate ways. Memories have a funny way of evoking emotions. I still remember when I heard the news that you were no more, it felt like a personal loss. And the memory of that brief interaction comes rushing back to me today, again.”

Pulkit also talked about how Sushant had inspired many and continues to do so. “The world lost you, but you still exist as an inspiration to those who dare to dream big. You exist in the hopes and aspirations of every small town guy who dreams of making it big someday. You exist for everyone who wants to believe that humans are capable of kindness. You exist for everyone who dares to dream. I never got to know you in this lifetime, but if we live more than once, I would want to be a part of the world again where you exist, a world that is much kinder than this one. Sushant Singh Rajput, you are missed,” he wrote.

Sushant died by suicide last year. The nature of his death coupled with the effects of the COVID-19 induced lockdown last year, opened the conversation around mental health in the country.
