Sushant Singh Rajput: An Untold Story

“I found the experience liberating. I realised that I could communicate with the audience. I knew I wanted to do this forever.”

These were the words of Rajput in the early days when he decided to join acting as a profession but he couldn’t do what he wanted to do forever as he passed away leaving an “Untold Story”.

He was an actor and dancer who started his career with television serials. His debut show was Star Plus’s romantic drama Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil (2008), followed by an award-winning performance in Zee TV’s popular soap opera Pavitra Rishta (2009–11).

While a student at Delhi Technological University, Rajput enrolled in Shiamak Davar’s dance classes. It was only later that the idea of making a career in acting came to him, as some of his fellow students in the dance classes happened to be interested in acting and were attending Barry John’s drama classes.

Within a few months of joining the dance class, Rajput was selected to be a member of Davar’s standard dance troupe. In 2005, he was chosen to be a part of a group of background dancers at the 51st Filmfare Awards. In 2006, he was part of the troupe that went to Australia to perform in the cultural program at the opening ceremony of the 2006 Commonwealth Games. By this time, he was tired of engineering. He was happy and successful in the dance and drama classes, and decided to do what he was good at. He dropped out of engineering and devoted himself full-time to dancing and acting.

To make a break into films, Rajput moved to Mumbai and joined Nadira Babbar’s Ekjute theatre group, which he remained a part of for two and a half years. During this time, he was featured in a TV advertisement for Nestle Munch, which also became famous throughout India.

The sad demise left the fans and fellows heart broken and saddened over an early departure. On the other hand, the incident raises many questions on our theories and ideologies about life. No one determines the inner conflicts of a showbiz star. We only look onto the surface and cannot understand the realities. This is the only bitter reality of life which we should accept that man is mortal and even doesn’t know how long he has to stay in this world.
