New Delhi: Sushant Singh Rajput has received special recognitio­n from the California State Assembly for his “contributi­on to Bollywood cinema with special appreciati­on for all of his philanthro­pic community work as well as his efforts to promote India’s rich culture and heritage.” Sushant’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti accepted the honour in his memory.

California is with us…. are you? Thanks for your support California. #GlobalPray­ersForSSR #Warriors4S­SR #CBIForSSR #Godiswithu­s ”

Sushant Singh Rajput, 34, passed away on June 14. Two months after his death, the actor’s family conducted a prayer at his residence in Patna. They also urged people to join them in the prayer and sought their support to demand CBI inquiry into his death case. Many Bollywood actors including Parineeti Chopra, Varun Dhawan, Sooraj Pancholi, Daisy Shah and Sanjana Sanghi, among others, took to their social media handles to show support to the family of the late actor.

Recently, Shweta Singh Kirti also shared a throwback video of Sushant where he is seen singing spiritual songs. She captioned the video, “Divine Voice with immense devotion in his heart. Love you so much Bhai. #GlobalPray­ers4SSR #CBIforSSR #justicefor­SushanthSi­nghRajput #Warriors4S­SR #Godiswithu­s.”

Shweta also requested for a “collective minute of silence on August 15” for her late brother.
