A good man went too soon. Disbelief and shock marked this date last year. A year has passed and not a day since then has passed without #SSR or #JusticeForSSR trending on Twitter.

Sushant’s first ever serial was ‘Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil’, and he subsequently played the lead role in ‘Pavitra Rishta’ which brought him to the doorsteps of Bollywood. Debuting in 2013 with the film Kai Po Che, Sushant immediately impressed everyone with his performance.
In 2016, he rose to fame with the film MS Dhoni: The Untold Story. Even though we miss him physically and all the films he would roll out year after year, Sushant has left a legacy for all of us to cherish.
