Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who died tragically at the age of 34, is being remembered on his second death anniversary.
He was found hanging in the bedroom of his Mumbai apartment, and his death was initially ruled a suicide. The death sent shockwaves throughout the country and the case was deeply investigated by the Mumbai Police and later by the CBI.
The media coverage of Sushant’s death has often been cited as an example of sensationalist news reporting. The case also led to a drug-related investigation and arrest of Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and her brother.
Rhea was also investigated for misappropriation of funds, after being involved in legal proceedings against Sushant’s family. Sushant’s death was unable to start a debate on mental health. The actor was reportedly seeking treatment for bipolar disorder and was on medication.

On his second death anniversary, Rhea Chakraborty shared old photos featuring both of them. “Miss you everyday…,” she wrote on Instagram.
To remember the late actor, his sister Shweta Singh Kirti took to social media to share an emotional note in his memory and wrote that he has become “immortal because of the values you stood for.”
The note read, “It has been 2 years since you left your mortal abode, Bhai, but you have become immortal because of the values you stood for. Kindness, compassion and love for all were your virtues. You wanted to do so much for so many. We shall continue to model after your wonderful virtues and ideals in your honor. Bhai, you have changed the world for the better and will continue to do so even in your absence.”
She requested Sushant’s fans to light a lamp in his memory. She wrote, “Let us all light a lamp ???? today and perform a selfless action to bring a smile to someone’s face.”
