Actor, Sushant Singh Rajput's death had shocked the entire nation. What was more unacceptable for the entire film fraternity and to his fans was the fact that such a brilliant actor and an intelligent boy had left us at such a tender age. Besides proving his mettle in acting, the boy, who had an interest in the galaxy and the planets, and had installed a telescope at his home, had left us all teary-eyed with the news of his suicide.
On June 14, 2020, the Kai Po Che actor, Sushant Singh Rajput had left us for the heavenly abode. Since then, his sister, Shweta Singh Kirti and father, K.K. Singh have been fighting to seek justice for him as they believe that it was not a suicide. Shweta often takes to her IG handle to share some fond memories with her brother, as those are what she is left with now.

It was in preparation for his upcoming movie, Chanda Mama Door Ke, that Sushant Singh Rajput had visited the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). He had taken training for the role of an astronaut that he was supposed to play. Though the film was shelved later on, that did not stop him from wanting to go to NASA and get the certificate of an instructor.

After his death, the director of the movie, Chanda Mama Door Ke, Sanjay Puran Singh, had said that the film would be made to pay tribute to the late actor.
