Today, January 21, 2026, would have been the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's 40th birthday. His family, friends, and fans are remembering him fondly on this day. The actor's sister, Shweta Singh Kirti, shared a heartfelt message about her brother on Instagram.

Shweta’s emotional post

Shweta wrote, "People often ask me, do you miss him? And I smile, because how do I miss someone who has become my heartbeat…?? Now I listen to him every moment he beats in my heart, I live him every moment, I breathe him into every prayer, every silence, every smile, And somewhere along the way, I know I am becoming him, a little more every day. To the heart that was pure gold, To the soul that was endlessly curious, gentle, fearless, and luminous, I salute you, Bhai. You did not just live a life, you left behind a frequency, a way of being, a light that continues to guide millions. You were not just an actor, you were a seeker, a thinker, a dreamer, a lover of the universe and its mysteries. From the stars you admired to the questions you dared to ask, you taught us to reach beyond limits, to wonder deeply, to love boldly, to live Godward."

Shweta further wrote, "Your essence is eternal. You are not a memory, you are an energy. You are not gone, you are everywhere. My Sona sa Bhai, love you forever, infinity to the power infinity. May your legacy be the millions you have inspired to be kinder, wiser, more generous, more God like. May everyone understand that Godward is the only way forward, and live in a way that makes you proud. Happy Birthday, our guiding star. May you always shine and show us the path. Happy Birthday, Bhai. You live in my heart, in every breath, in every beat (sic)."
