“Celebrating the star, the dreamer, the legend… Happy Birthday, Bhai! Your light continues to shine in the hearts of millions. You weren’t just an actor; you were a seeker, a thinker, a soul filled with boundless curiosity and love. From the universe you admired to the dreams you so fearlessly pursued, you taught us all to reach beyond limits, to wonder, to question, and to love deeply,” Shweta wrote alongside a video featuring old clips of Sushant, including fan meets, award ceremonies, and moments with his family and pet dog.
Cherishing the late actor’s brilliance and passion, Shweta further wrote, “Every smile you shared, every dream you spoke of, and every piece of wisdom you left behind is a reminder that your essence is eternal. You are not just a memory—you are an energy, a force that continues to inspire. Bhai, you are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Today, we celebrate you—your brilliance, your passion, and your infinite soul.”
She concluded her heartfelt message by highlighting her late brother's enduring brilliance and the love and admiration he continues to receive from his fans.
