Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister shares some heart-touching memories on Instagram

Shweta Singh Kirti, the elder sister of Sushant Sigh Rajput, was quite close to her brother. The untimely demise of her dear brother was a loss that effected her and her entire family deeply. Shweta had shifted to US after her marriage, but flew down to be with her parents on getting the shocking news of Sushant’s death. According to reports, she had a conversation with her dear brother a few days before he died. Since then, she has been sharing pictures of hers with Sushant in his remembrance on her Instagram.

Just recently, she shared a couple of posts in which  she penned down how close she has been to her brother. She also recalled her wedding day posting a picture from that day. She shared a screen shot of her chat with her young brother and also a pic of Sushant’s childhood. She grieved about her loss and said that she has been experiencing bouts of pain often. She wrote  “I am experiencing bouts of pain. Right when I think I am coping with it better, some or the other incidence rushes right back into my memory and breaks me apart. One such memory I am sharing with you all… because it is said that the more you share your grief, the less it hurts.”

She also narrated the story of how he was born- “I have always been told by my family members that Mom and Dad wanted a son, more so because Mumma’s first child was a son and she had lost him at the tender age of one and half. I never got to meet my first sibling. But mom and dad were very hopeful for a second son…. they made a sankalp (mannat) and started praying to Maa Bhagwati for straight 2 years. They fasted, they meditated, they did puja, hawan and went to spiritual places and met spiritual people. But then I was born, on a Diwali day…. Mumma considered me very lucky and often called me Lakshmi Ji. They continued with their Sadhna, and a year later my little brother was born. Right from the beginning he was a charmer, he mesmerized everyone with his beautiful smile and twinkling eyes.”

“So, this little one was my “Pithiya”. This is a term used in colloquial Hindi to signify the one who comes right after you. Mumma believed that I was the cause of his much-desired arrival into our lives and I accepted the honor whole heartedly. I was very protective about my little brother because I felt I was responsible for bringing him to this earthly plane.”

She recalled her memories with her brother and missed her moments of togetherness. “We were always time together, We played, danced, studied, did all sorts of mischiefs, ate, slept, did everything together so much so that people forgot we were 2 separate individuals, they even called us “Gudia-Gulshan” as if we were a single entity (Bhai’s nick was Gulshan and mine Gudia)”

Missing Sushant, she kept on writing recalling her days back when they were kids. “And when we started going to school, we had to go to different classes. Bhai’s Nursery and my prep classes were in same building so we managed our 1st year of school pretty well. But then my UKG class was in a different building and his prep classroom remained in the same building, so we got separated. One day after lunch break was over I saw Bhai in my classroom, in my building. We were just 4/5 year olds then. #BhaikikahaniBehankizabani #Downthememorylane #LuvuBhai.”
