Sushant Singh Rajput's First Death Anniversary: Ankita Lokhande to Pulkit Samrat, celebs miss the late star

Sara Ali Khan recalled how Sushant was always there for her whenever she needed any help.

"Whenever I needed help, advice or a laugh you were always there. You introduced me to the world of acting, made me believe that dreams could come true, and gave me all that I have today, " Sara, who featured opposite Sushant in 'Kedarnath', wrote on Instagram.

"Still can't believe you're gone. But every time I look at the stars, the rising sun or the moon I know you're here. From Kedarnath to Andromeda," she added.

Sushant Singh Rajput's 'Chhichhore' co-star Shraddha Kapoor took to Instagram Stories and wrote, "Shine on, dearest Sush."

Vishal Kirti, who is married to Sushant's sister Shweta Singh Kirti shared an emotional note on his first death anniversary. It read, "There are moments in life which are so defining that they partition your life into two parts- before and after. Sushant’s death was that event in our family. Everything has changed but still a lot remains the same. The incongruence of this statement is best explained with the dichotomy between the internalities and externalities. Externally, we are doing practical things like earning a living, raising our children and supporting our parents, which are same as before. But internally, we experience a big void which is devoid of everything but grief.

This entire month, she is on a solitary retreat, deep into the mountains, with no human contact whatsoever. Not only human contact, she has no means of communication like internet or cell phone or even a car to drive back. All we know is the date and time when she would like to be picked up from her barebones cabin in the mountains.

Talking about death, loss and grief are very difficult topics and I hope this post not only opens up this discussion but act as a soothing balm for the grieving hearts. I also understand that Sushant was a national treasure and hence his loss is a little different since it’s not only a loss for family and friends but also a loss for the nation."

Taking to Instagram, Ankita shared a video having all the happy memories and wrote, "14 June. This was our journey! Phir milenge chalte chalte."

Taking to Instagram, Ranvir Shorey wrote, "…अपना क़र्ज़ा तो उतार गयो…हमें यहीं छोड़ गयो बीहड़न में…” #sonchiriya #sushantsinghrajput."

Taking to Twitter, Shekhar Suman who has been raising his voice ever since the actor's demise, wrote, "Every single day since June 14th last year we have remembered you fondly. You have left behind a void that would be so difficult to fill. May you eternally shine like the brightest star and stay in our hearts forever!" 

He further tweeted, "With a heavy heart as we all look back in anger, frustration and dismay. One year has passed by since Sushant left us all under mysterious circumstances.We all fought and fought and are still fighting to get justice for him but totally in vain."

He added, "We request the agencies and the authorities to plz speed up the process and bring about a closure to this case so that SSR's soul rests in peace. #sushantjusticematters."

Mukesh wrote alongside, "Nothing seems to be the same. The void you left behind still remains. Here's hoping I'll see you once again. Miss you Brother #stillnumb #sushantsinghrajput."

Roopa Ganguly shared a picture of SSR, and tweeted, "What does it feel like to be someone who dared to dream? "It’s not like I am going to pretend that I am an astronaut. I am actually being an astronaut. The only difference will be that I won’t be going in space physically, but in my head, I am." @itsSSR #SushantSinghRajput."

A video on Siddharth's Instagram handle was beautifully captioned, "Alien brother. living the lesson you taught through your way of life is probably the best way to honor you my angel brother. For good or for worse i am the collateral, the after taste of the experience You were! Like you always said dont try to be perfect try to have the perfect intent. I am trying bhai. Miss you. If you can traverse through the multiverse and read this. I smile when i think of you and tell your tales with all the joy i can muster! Taking your legacy ahead @sushantsinghrajput."

In a post that was made earlier this month, the late actor's sister Shweta Singh Kirti who is quite active on social media revealed that she will be going on a solitary retreat. On June 2, she wrote, "Off to the mountains for a month of Tapas, Sadhana and Prathana. Asking for everyone’s blessings #OmTatSat." While she informed about her retreat in May and wrote, "I am going on a solitary retreat for the whole month of June in the mountains. I won’t have access to internet or cell services there. Bhai’s one year of passing on will be spent in cherishing his sweet memories in silence. Though his physical body has left us almost a year back, the values he stood for still live on...Wishing all an auspicious Buddha Purnima."

Ankita and Sushant had dated each other for nearly six years before parting ways in 2016. They both met on the sets of 'Pavitra Rishta', which recently completed 12 years. She shared a cryptic post and went off social media a few days back. Well, yesterday, she shared an update with her fans in the form of a picture that happens to be from the 'hawan' she conducted at her place.
