Gone too soon, a bright star that was supposed to shine for a long time to come. It is indeed ironical the last film Sushant Singh Rajput did was based on failures in life and that went on to become a big hit for the actor who did't want to be cast in a mould. Tragically, he was found hanging at his Bandra apartment on Sunday. He was 34. Depression? Many say, but no one would know for sure as there is no suicide note. Slight hint here and there he has left, like his last Instagram post is deeply emotional. "Blurred past evaporating from teardrops. Unending dreams carving an arc of smile... And a fleeting life, negotiating between the two...#Maa" A heart melting post that would be his last, no one had fathomed. He wasn't active on Twitter, he last tweeted six months back.
He exubered dynamism, youthfulness, and there was a certain likeability about him, a boyish charm with a happy smile that you would fall for. A sincerity in his eyes, a quality that the industry remembers about him the most.
A jovial soul, Sushant's Manav of Zee's Pavitra Rishta was with his Archana (Ankita Lokhande) for many years. They gave couple goals to their fans. The serial gave them fame, people liked them together. They even appeared on Jhalak Dikhla Ja, a dance reality show where they were the first runners up. They broke up soon after. Struggles were not new to him, he had given up his his course in Delhi Technological University in the final year to pursue a career in acting.
Sushant's life was full of struggles, he danced well and got small roles in films as background dancer. Sharing his experience ahead of his performance in IIFA 2018 said, ''I'm really excited to be a part of IIFA this year and I will be performing at the IIFA awards for the first time. Not exactly the first time... I have been a background dancer at IIFA for many years."
