The Best Friend I Never Met

Dear Sushant,

I had never thought that this is how we would communicate with each other, I had never thought in my wildest of days that this is how I would end up loving you immensely and wholeheartedly.

You were my best friend who I never got a chance to meet. But I surely know that someday in another world we would meet, with teary eyes, with no words left in our mouths, with millions of unsaid things, with pure emotions and love for each other. I had so many things to say to you, but as I write this letter I am falling short of words, I am starting to forget everything that I wanted to say, I don’t know what it is that connects me to you so bad, so tight and so strong. You were one hell of a gem, you unknowingly taught me so many things that I don’t think anyone else could.

Honestly, I don’t usually fall for celebrities (PS- Harry Styles and you are exceptions). PS- I love chemistry because I have never been able to resonate with any, I always feel like they have got a life different from mine, and I’ll never be able to love someone who is not like me, or whose vibes don’t resonate with mine, but I must admit that you were different, your vibes resonated with mine as perfectly as the soothing music of a piano on a candle light dinner, everything was and still is perfectly synchronized, you still live in my heart as joyously as you used to, you weren’t a “celebrity” to me, you weren’t a “VIP” to me, you were just a simple man, a best friend, with dreams as big as this universe and thoughts as big as this planet.

You were my knight in shining armour, you were someone who taught me how to not fear failures rather fear not trying. I remember while I was watching CHHICHHORE I had tears in my eyes, I just couldn’t stop crying, I was literally in an ocean full of tears, because that shit was so RELATABLE, you were super RELATABLE , my ANNI! and the whole story was mind bogglingly RELATABLE (special and exclusive love to Naveen Polishetty ((dil ki baaten kehdi thi ACID ne)). I am a student and I am going through a similar phase, I am preparing for an engineering entrance exam and you know Sushant how hard it is and how consistent you have to be to get through it successfully. But I do know that I wont give up until I give my best to get the best out of these exams, all thanks to you for constantly motivating students like me through your movies.

Its hard to accept things that have happened, it’s hard to move past things, its hard to believe that a gem like you is no more with us, but all I can assure you is that you will always live in our hearts, we will never let a gem like you disappear, your legacy will live on forever through the positive changes that you made in this world. All I hope is that you and your family get justice, we all deserve to know the truth of what exactly happened with you, fikar not sush we are standing with your family, we will make sure that justice is served to you. Just keep showering you blessings on us from above. Hope you are having a great time up there. Hope your wings are as bright and big as your heart is. 
You movies were different from the ordinary, your movies had a meaning as deep as the ocean and as wide as the sky.

You had said in Chhichhore “Sacche dost wohi hote hai … jo achhe waqt mein aapki bajate hai … aur jab mushkil waqt aata hai toh wohi chhichhore aapke darwaze par khade nazar aate hai”, aaj hum sab tumhare darwaaze pe khade hai ab to wapas aaja humare paas. You will always be missed my friend! <3

You were a true achiever, its not easy to drop out of an engineering college and go to an unknown city to fulfill your dreams, but you showed us that its not impossible either, you gave us courage to step out of our shoes and do what our heart says. You were a genius who loved physics more than I can say and to be honest because of you I have started enjoying physics, you taught me how to not just study a subject but to understand it with full depth, your enthusiasm has inspired me in ways that i fall short of words to express. I love you and your charm to infinity and beyond. Tumhara ye wala dialogue to dil ke tukde kar chuka tha “Janam kab lena hai, marna kab hai, ye hum decide nahi kar sakte, par kese jeena hai ye hum decide kar sakte hai”.

Stay happy wherever you are. Loads of love to you! Loads of respect for you!

In the end all I would say is “Wapas aajana yaar”.

Yours Lovingly
