Soul Connection

Love Junkie

Like his myriad characters, Sushant Singh Rajput’s conversation is as layered, discovers Raghuvendra Singh

People spend an entire lifetime trying to fit in. Trying to be what others want them to be. But a select few don’t bother with perceptions and expectations. They just walk in and settle with nonchalance and confidence.

Sushant Singh Rajput has gone from being just ‘a face’ to being ‘the face of good cinema’. Through his journey, he’s learnt that he doesn’t need validation from others. He draws inspiration from his own sense of conviction.

He’s okay being misunderstood as long as his films and his act in them makes sense. Never too far from controversy and yet never afraid of what’s being spoken about him, SSR is unlike your regular stars. He knows the difference between being a public persona and remaining a rooted person. His honesty is what makes films like Raabta work. An avid mind and a sensitive heart make SSR an actor to reckon with.

 

What was the challenge of doing Raabta? What side as an actor did you explore?
