Sushant Singh Rajput's friends Mahesh Shetty, Mukesh Chhabra join 'Plants For SSR' initiative; see pics

Shweta had given an update on the success of the venture mentioning how more than 1 lakh plants had been planted across the world by Sushant Singh Rajput's fans.

Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's friend Mahesh Shetty and his swansong Dil Bechara's director Mukesh Chhabra planted a sapling on Sunday in response to a call by the actor’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti to plant trees. Mahesh planted a Neem sapling as it was part of the late actor’s 50 dreams he had listed out on social media.

Sharing a picture, Mahesh wrote, "Neem has been used traditionally to remove negativity and for healing. Taking baby steps but trying to do all I can to make your dreams come true bhai !!! #plant4ssr #plants4ssr #plantmoretrees."

The picture shows Mahesh, on his haunches, as he plants a sapling. Ankita Lokhande and Shweta dropped heart emojis in the comments section. Meanwhile, Mukesh posted a picture of planting a sapling. He captioned his post saying, "Bhai #plant4ssr #plants4ssr."

Over the weekend, Ankita Lokhandea had also planted saplings in the actor’s memory. Sharing pictures from her balcony garden, Ankita had written, "Hatchi and mamma, My partner In almost everything, Planting plants, It’s our way to remember him by fulfilling his dream #plants4SSR."

Shweta had given an update on the success of the venture and had mentioned how more than a lakh plants had been planted across the world by Sushant’s fans. For the uninformed, Mahesh, who worked with Sushant and Ankita in Pavitra Rishta, has quietly supported Sushant’s family’s claims on the death of the actor since they filed an FIR back in July. After days of silence, Rhea had given an interview to news channels to give her side of the story after which Mahesh had put out a cryptic message and had written, "People who are here can defend themselves and eventually the truth will prevail. But let’s not lose our dignity and defame the departed."

Earlier this month, Rhea and her brother Showik Chakraborty were arrested by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) over charges of procuring drugs for the late actor. The case is currently being investigated by three central agencies, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
