On Thursday, to mark Sushant Singh Rajput's 35th birth anniversary, his US-based sister Shweta Singh Kirti took to social media to announce that a $35,000 fund has been set up under The Sushant Singh Rajput Memorial Fund at the University of California, Berkeley. This fund is for those desiring to pursue astrophysics — the late actor’s favourite subject. Kirti also shared a screenshot of the post in which SSR had expressed his desire “to create an environment where kids of India and elsewhere can get improved and relevant education, and acquire skills of choice for free... we have to make the youth more competent and happy.” 

Kirti added, “A step has been taken towards fulfilling one of bhai’s dreams. Grateful to the angels who made it possible. Happy birthday my little brother, I hope you always stay happy wherever you are.”
