Sharing the photos, Shweta tweeted: “He lives on… his name lives on… his essence lives on! That is the impact of a pure soul! You are God’s own child my baby… you will always live on… #ForeverSushant.”

“Chhichhore”, which bagged the National Award this year, had a theatrical release on September 6, 2019. Sushant died on June 14, 2020.
