Abhishek Kapoor, who directed Sushant in Kai Po Che and Kedarnath, posted a throwback picture with the late actor and wrote: ‘Burdayboyyyy!!! Miss karta hoon yaar tujhe @itsSSR #ssrbirthday #SushantDay.’
Rakummar Rao shared a picture of Sushant playing a guitar with just a red heart emoji to go with it to express his sentiment.
Mukesh Chhabra, who directed Sushant in his last film Dil Bechara, dropped a collage of the various avatars in which Sushant had appeared onscreen.
On the occasion, Sushant’s sister Shweta had announced a scholarship programme for aspiring students of physics to pursue further studies at the Department of Physics at the University of California, Berkley, USA. She had written: ‘I am happy to announce that on 35th Birthday of Bhai, a step has been taken towards fulfilling one of his dreams. The Sushant Singh Rajput Memorial Fund of $35,000 has been set up in UC Berkeley. #SushantDay.’
In a separate tweet, she had written: ‘Anyone interested in pursuing Astrophysics at UC Berkeley can apply for this fund. Grateful to the Angels who made it possible. Happy Birthday my little Brother, I hope you always stay happy wherever you are! Love You #SushantDay.’
