On his 13^th day of demise (Tehrvi), the ‘Raabta’ actor’s family has released a statement for his followers. They said that they will turn Sushant's childhood home in Patna into a memorial. They also said that Sushant's telescope was his 'most prized possession', through which the actor gazed at the stars. This line will definitely make you emotional. The ‘Kai Po Che’ actor’s family members have decided to set up Sushant Singh Rajput Foundation to support young talents in the field of sports, cinema and science. All three fields were close to his heart. The statement further said that they intend to maintain his social media handles as 'legacy accounts to keep his memories alive'. “Goodbye Sushant. The world’s Sushant Singh Rajput was simply Gulshan to us. He was free-spirited, talkative and incredibly bright. He was curious about just everything. He dreamed without restraints, and chased those dreams with the heart of a lion. He smiled generously. He was the pride and inspiration of the family. His telescope was his most prized possession, through which he fondly gazed at the stars. We can’t bring ourselves to accept that we wouldn’t get to hear his easy laughs anymore. That we wouldn’t see his sparkling eyes again. That we wouldn’t hear his endless rants about science again. His loss has created a permanent, glaring void in the family that will never be filled. He truly loved and cherished every single one of his fans. We thank you all for showering our Gulshan with so much love,” the statement read. “To honour his memory and legacy, the family has decided to set up Sushant Singh Rajput Foundation (SSRF) to support young talents in areas close to his heart — cinema, science and sports. His childhood home in Rajiv Nagar, Patna will be turned into a memorial. We will put his personal memorabilia and belongings there, that include thousands of books, his telescope, flight-simulator etc, for his fans and admirers. From now on, we intend to maintain his Instagram, Twitter and Facebook page as legacy accounts to keep his memories alive. We once again thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. Sushant’s family!,” the statement further read.
