In the hand-written note by Sushant, he said, "I think I spent 30 years of my life, the first 30, trying to become something. I wanted to become good at things, I wanted to become good at tennis, and school and grades. And everything I viewed from that perspective. I am not okay the way I am, but if I got good at things. I realised I had the game wrong. Because the game was always to find out what I already was!"
Sharing the note, Shweta wrote on Instagram, "Written by Bhai...the thought so profound #ForeverSushant."
The actor was known for sharing such thoughts on his Instagram account. In an April 2020 post, he had written, "What if consciousness is not something special that the brain does but is instead a quality inherent to all matter in the universe? It is a theory known as panpsychism and it is one interesting perspective indeed, for both science enthusiasts and spiritual alike."
Sushant was found dead in his Mumbai flat on June 14, last year. Mumbai Police first declared he died by suicide. However, the CBI is currently probing into the cause of the actor's death.
