Just one day after Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was cremated, filmmaker and actor Farhan Akhtar penned down a heartwarming poem to the late star wishing for peace to the departed soul. The 46-year-old actor took to his official Instagram account on Tuesday and wrote, "Sleep my brother sleep, let the vultures gather and the crocodiles weep, let the circus performers juggle, contort, bow and leap, let the shrill get higher let the darkness in the hearts of men get deep Sleep my brother Sleep, RIP Sushant."

Sushant was cremated on Monday at Vile Parle's crematorium after an ambulance carried his cadaver from Mumbai's Cooper hospital to the cremation ground. Additional Commissioner of Police Manoj Sharma had confirmed that due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis, only a gathering of 20 people including his family was allowed by the police to attend the funeral.

The untimely death of Rajput has sent shockwaves among celebrities and his fans. Veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty who marks his 68th birthday today said that he is no mood to celebrate on June 16 owing to the coronavirus pandemic but also because of the untimely demise of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput who died by suicide on Sunday at the age of 34. 

Mithun's son Namashi was quoted saying, "Given the current scenario of the COVID-19 pandemic and the untimely demise of our dear colleague Sushant, this year I and my father have decided to not celebrate on birthday and we urge people to stay safe and stay indoors as much as they can."
