Mumbai - 'It makes my chest swell with pride to see the Best Film award being dedicated to Bhai'

A day after 'Chhichhore' won the Best Hindi feature film award at the 67th National Film awards function, Shweta Singh Kirti, sister of the late Sushant Singh Rajput, who was the star in the film, went emotional on social media.

“Bhai is sharing this moment of pride with all of us, he is present with us in spirit #NationalFilmAwards Thank You! 🙏,” tweeted Shweta. “It makes my chest swell with pride to see the award being dedicated to Bhai. Thanks and congratulations to the whole team of #Chhichhore #SushantOurPride.”

Released in September 2019, it was the last commercially successful film for Sushant and also his biggest hit. The film also starred Shraddha Kapoor.
