Is the Indian Government planning to instate an award in late Sushant Singh Rajput’s name? Sources say, plans are afoot for the late and much-missed actor’s name to be permanently inscribed into the National awards.

But we will get there, I am sure.” Also read: Remembering Sushant Singh Rajput: Friend Rumi Jaffrey Gets Emotional, 'I Still Read His Messages On The Phone, Number Delete Karne Ka Mann Nahi Karta' - EXCLUSIVE
It is to be noted that not a single idea mooted at the time of Sushant’s death to honour him, has crystallized. The proposed bio-pics have not gone anywhere since the announcement. Recently Sushant’s former girlfriend Ankita Lokhande performed a medley of Sushant’s songs at an awards function.

We do hope she donated all the money that she gets for the dedicational dance to Sushant’s favourite charity.
