Sushant Singh Rajput Remembered on Sixth Death Anniversary as Bollywood Remains Silent

On June 15, 2026, the sixth death anniversary of actor Sushant Singh Rajput was observed by his family and fans in Delhi and across India, marked by a heartfelt tribute from his sister, Shweta Singh Kirti, and a noticeable silence from the Bollywood film industry.

While admirers from across the world shared messages, photographs, and videos on social media to celebrate the late actor's life, prominent members of the Hindi film industry largely abstained from posting public tributes.

His sister, Shweta Singh Kirti, shared a lengthy online post dedicated to Rajput's memory, focusing on his curiosity, kindness, and passion for learning. In her message, she declared that her brother remains "very much alive" in spirit.

"Six years….Time has passed, yet some souls continue to grow larger than time itself," Shweta wrote in her tribute. "When I think of Bhai today, I do not think of how he left but I think of how he lived…I think of his childlike curiosity, his endless fascination with life, the stars, the universe, and the mysteries of the human mind."

She further described Rajput as someone who treated people with dignity regardless of who they were, adding that he taught others that success means very little if it is not accompanied by compassion.

The quiet response from Bollywood marked a shift from previous years. On earlier death anniversaries, birth anniversaries, and film milestones, several of Rajput's co-stars, directors, and colleagues had shared public messages.

Among those who had remembered him on prior occasions were actors Kriti Sanon, Sara Ali Khan, and Shraddha Kapoor. This year, however, many of these familiar names chose not to post public tributes on social media. Despite the industry's silence, fans continued to honor his memory by sharing tributes online.
