Salman Khan recently took to social media to express his profound grief over the passing of his dear friend, Sushil Kumar.

Salman Khan mourns friend Sushil Kumar’s death

On Sunday night, Salman shared a photo on Instagram with his friend Sushil Kumar, accompanying it with an emotional message that read, This guy has been a brother for 42 years, the nicest, kindest, most helpful, even if he was down and out, always smiling, dancing and no pain, no stress in the worst of situations. Be it financial, emotional, or physical, he used to say ki farak nai painda sab theek hoga (doesn't matter, everything will be fine). Sushil Kumar is his name, or at least was his name till 5 mins ago. Farewell, bro lived like a man, fought death like a freaking heavyweight champion.

He added, No tears for you, brother, only memories and laughter. My pra (brother) died with a smile on his face. Way to go, brother. Koi pehle koi baad mein all going to go don’t know when n how toh kuch kar ke jao (Some may go earlier, some later, everyone has to go. We don’t know when or how, so make sure you do something meaningful before you leave). now enjoy your cigarettes and whisky, cheers bro think I am gonna miss ya a bit.

Salman Khan points out the natural process of death

Salman expressed his belief that one should not attempt to hold back someone who is destined to leave, as those meant to depart will do so regardless of any efforts to prevent it. He cited several reasons for this philosophy. Firstly, he stated that everyone faces departure eventually, as it's an inherent aspect of existence. He further elaborated that often, good individuals are taken sooner, while those who still have obligations in life are granted more time. Conversely, he suggested that corrupt or dishonest individuals tend to linger longer, implying their departure comes at a later stage.

Further he wrote, Enjoy, my bro. You left this planet. Spoke to your wife, she knows you’ve left her for someone else there, haha. I wish I could abuse, be angry, or cry, which I do easily but for you, not even one tear. I see people on social media saying “RIP” RSVP etc. You’re gone, bro. And I won’t call you a body, because you didn’t have one. So I will call you Sushil Kumar. No “rest in peace.” Wake the freaking hell up. Ahhhhh…Enjoy. Cheers, bro. Accha bhala chal raha tha tu mera liver n kidney kharaab karega (You were doing perfectly fine, now you’re going to ruin my liver and kidneys).
