A month after Sushant Singh Rajput's tragic death by suicide on June 14, his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty paid tribute to the star with a moving note. Taking to her Instagram handle, the actress, who has been battling waves of social media hate, controversy, and conspiracies, penned a note of love and remembrance for her late beau.
"Still struggling to face my emotions, an irreparable numbness in my heart," she said in her post while admitting that she will never be able to come to terms with his loss in her life. "You are the one who made me believe in love, the power of it. You taught me how a simple mathematical equation can decipher the meaning of life and I promise you that I learnt from you every day. I will never come to terms with you not being here anymore." Calling him her 'shooting star' she went on to speak about his love for the stars and galaxies as she said, "I know you're in a much more peaceful place now. The moon, the stars, the galaxies would've welcomed "the greatest physicist "with open arms. Full of empathy and joy, you could lighten up a shooting star - now, you are one. I will wait for you my shooting star and make a wish to bring you back to me."
"You were everything a beautiful person could be, the greatest wonder that the world has seen. My words are incapable of expressing the love we have and I guess you truly meant it when you said it is beyond both of us. You loved everything with an open heart, and now you've shown me that our love is indeed exponential," she added. Rhea concluded her note wishing her late love 'peace' as she said, "Be in peace Sushi. 30 days of losing you but a lifetime of loving you." The last words of the post were "Eternally connected. To infinity and beyond."
Rhea shared the emotional note along with two cute photos that saw Sushant lovingly embracing her as they posed together for the clicks.
Among the many things that came to light post SSR's demise, was that the actor was getting ready to tie the knot with Rhea. While reports claimed that the two were set to wed later this year, Sushant's father, KK Singh said that a 2021 wedding was on the cards. Mr Singh even revealed that his son didn't want to wed amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and hence decided to postpone his nuptials.
Rhea's emotional tribute to the late star came in moments after Ankita Lokhande, Sushant's ex-girlfriend shared her first post about him. In her post, Ankita shared a picture of a puja she conducted at her home. The picture featured an oil lamp and white flowers amidst the backdrop of holy pictures and idols. "CHILD OF GOD," she captioned the photo.
While the actor's death has been reported as a suicide, the Mumbai Police has been investigating the matter and spending the past month interrogating over 30 people including family, friends, and film personalities.
