Sushant, who would have turned 35 on Thursday, was found dead at his Bandra residence in Mumbai on June 14 last year. 

The Dil Bechara actor's fans and admirers from the B-Town took to social media to pay emotional tributes to the actor whose untimely demise was followed by a high-profile investigation.

Reports suggest that SDMC's Congress councillor Abhishek Dutt in September 2020 had moved the proposal to name the road after the actor. 

"It was cleared by the SDMC House in its meeting yesterday," a senior official said. 

The Andrews Ganj councillor in the BJP-led South Delhi Municipal Corporation had sent the proposal to the civic body's road naming and renaming committee. 

What Reports Suggest 

In the written proposal to the committee, Dutt had said that a large number of people living in the area abutting Road No 8 hail from Bihar, and had claimed "they have been demanding" to name the stretch from Andrews Ganj to Indira Camp as 'Sushant Singh Rajput Marg'.

So, it is proposed that Road No 8 be named after the actor in his memory, Dutt had said.

Meanwhile, most people on Twitter reacted to this development in a positive way:

However, there were also some who questioned this move:

Crazy! These kind of things happen in India.
What anyone need is a fair trail and justice for his suicide or alleged murder. Naming street after him is to get sympathy from the social media!

How dumb is it to name a road after an actor? How can we build a great nation representing a great civilization if our minds are obsessed with films and celebrities? How? https://t.co/zfvFoi60nf

I agree. What happened to him was tragic, but what was his contribution to nation building? Rather name the road after an Indian army hero!
