Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, despite of being what they call an ‘outsider’, has established himself as one of the most promising talents among the younger lot of actors in the industry. In a recent interview, the actor opened up about his unpredictable journey and how his life took a turn after he dropped out of college.
“I felt the need to meet a girl, and that led me to Shiamak Davar’s group. My life went into a spin from that point on. Instead of heading to Stanford University from where I had a scholarship offer, I dropped out of college and landed in Versova, in a 1RK (room kitchen) that I shared with six others. You can imagine the reaction at home,” said the actor.
He continued, “It was 2006, my final year in college when I dropped this bomb at home. They were shocked! So shocked that they couldn’t say anything and I took their silence as their approval…. It was hard at that time but now it’s different. While Sushant’s father is proud of his son, he sure has one wish that went unfulfilled. “My dad loves it when, on his walks, people call out to him, show him some recent clipping on me…he is really proud of me. But even today, almost all our conversations end with ‘beta, degree le leta…’”.
On the work front, Sushant is soon to begin work on Abhishek Kapoor’s ‘Kedarnath’, which will go on floors later this month and mark the debut of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s daughter Sara Ali Khan.
