He had it all – good looks, charisma and loads of talent. Said to be one of the most intelligent actors in the film industry, Sushant Singh Rajput was not just an actor, he was also a philosopher, an astronomy enthusiasts and a science buff, besides so many other things. Perhaps that’s why it’s more shocking today that this superstar who could have ruled Bollywood is no more and it’s been exactly a year that we are left with nothing but his memories.

Born Performer

He was born to be a performer and despite the fact that his family like every other middle-class one, insisted on education being the first priority, Sushant always took the unconventional route to follow his dreams of acting. In a throwback interview to Stardust, Sushant averred, “As a teenager, I was told that there is no other way and I had to become an engineer. So, I knew where I was heading, although I used to love dancing. Be it at anybody’s wedding, I was the one dancing even when I didn’t know the person. Imagine, me, an introverted guy, who couldn’t even talk to strangers, was dancing in front of them and I never used to care what people were thinking! The second thing was that I was very good at studies because that’s how I thought I could get recognition in my class, since I never used to talk.”
