Sushant Singh Rajput
☺😊Sushant singh Rajput😁😃..
Sushant Singh Rajput was born in Maldiha in the Purnia district of Bihar[2] to Krishna Kumar Singh and Usha Singh.[19] One of his sisters, Mitu Singh, is a state-level cricketer.[20][21] His mother's death in 2002[22] left Rajput devastated and it was in the same year that the family moved from Patna to Delhi.[20]
Rajput attended St. Karen's High School in Patna and Kulachi Hansraj Model School in New Delhi.[23] According to Rajput, he had ranked seventh in the DCE Entrance Exam in 2003,[24] and secured admission in the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) class in Delhi College of Engineering.[20] He was also a National Olympiad Winner in Physics.[25] In all, he cleared as many as 11 engineering entrance exams, including that for the Indian School of Mines.[20] After he started participating in theatre and dance, he rarely had time for studies, resulting in several backlogs which ultimately made him leave DCE.[24] He completed only three years of the four-year course before dropping out to pursue an acting career.[20]
While a student at Delhi Technological University, Rajput enrolled in Shiamak Davar's dance classes.[26] 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 was attending Barry John's drama classes. Influenced by them, Rajput also joined the acting classes. Here, he found his passion for acting: "I found the experience liberating. I realised that I could communicate with the audience. I knew I wanted to do this forever."[27]
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 one of the groups 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 programme 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.[24]
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.[26] During this time, he was featured in a TV advertisement for Nestlé Munch, which became famous throughout India.[28]
In 2008, the casting team of Balaji Telefilms saw Rajput's personality and acting talent while he was on stage for one of Ekjute's plays.[28] They invited him to audition for them and Rajput landed the role of Preet Juneja in Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil.[29] His character was killed quite early in the show, but he was such a popular character with the viewers that he was brought back for the series finale in the form of a spirit, looking on as his family celebrates after going through difficult times.[30]
In June 2009, Rajput began starring in Pavitra Rishta as Manav Deshmukh, a serious and mature character working as a mechanic to support his family. His work in this serial received wide appreciation, and Rajput received three major television awards for the best male actor and most popular actor.[28] This performance was his breakthrough and gave him a stepping stone into films.[31] Initially when producer Ekta Kapoor cast him as lead for Pavitra Rishta while playing the parallel lead in Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil, Zee TV did not accept him. However, Kapoor convinced them.[32]
In May 2010, Rajput joined the dance reality show Zara Nachke Dikha 2.[33] Rajput was a part of the Mast Kalandar Boys Team, which ultimately became the first runner up of the season.[34] He shot for both Pavitra Rishta and Zara Nachke Dikha 2 at the same time.[33] On the Mother's Day special episode, his team dedicated a performance to his mother, who had died in 2002.[35]
In December 2010, Rajput participated in another dance-based reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 4, where he was paired with choreographer Shampa Sonthalia, for which he again became the first runner up of the season.[36][37]
In October 2011, Rajput decided to quit Pavitra Rishta to pursue a filmmaking course abroad, and in November 2011, Rajput quit the series and was replaced by Hiten Tejwani.[38] However, in October 2014, Tejwani paved way for Rajput who appeared in the final episode aired on 25 October 2014 as Manav.[39][40]
Film (2013–2020)
Rajput auditioned for Abhishek Kapoor's Kai Po Che! and was selected to play one of the three leads, along with Rajkumar Rao and Amit Sadh. Based on the Chetan Bhagat novel The 3 Mistakes of My Life, the film proved to be a critical and commercial success. His portrayal of Ishaan Bhatt, an ex-district level cricketer who is a victim of politics in the cricketing selection fraternity, was praised.[41] Critic Rajeev Masand wrote: "...it's Sushant Singh Rajput, making his film debut as Ishaan, who it's hard to take your eyes off. The actor has an indescribable presence and it's clear from his confidence and distinct likeability that a star is born."[42]
His second movie was Shuddh Desi Romance, alongside Parineeti Chopra and Vaani Kapoor. Directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Yash Raj Films, the film deals with the subject of live-in relationships and was completely filmed in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama praised Rajput's performance, saying: "After leaving a tremendous impression in his first Hindi outing, Sushant Singh Rajput... brings a lot of freshness with his unpretentious and spontaneous act."[43] Sukanya Verma from Rediff stated: "After a dynamic debut in Kai Po Che!, Rajput channelises his abundant energy to convey the childlike ineptitude of a man who wears his heart on a sleeve."[44] Sushant's next role was in Rajkumar Hirani's 2014 film PK. Although his role was relatively minor, the film gave him the opportunity to work with Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma. Upon its release, the film proved to be the one of the highest-grossing Indian films.[45][46]
In 2015, Rajput's sole release was Dibakar Banerjee's mystery thriller Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! (2015), in which he portrayed detective Byomkesh Bakshi, created by Bengali writer Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay. The film was produced jointly by Yash Raj Films and Banerjee's own film production company Dibakar Banerjee Productions. Set in Kolkata in the 1940s,[47] the film was released on 3 April 2015.[48][49]

In 2020, he starred in Mukesh Chhabra's remake of The Fault in Our Stars titled Dil Bechara. The film was slated to be released in May of that year but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[59] It released on Hotstar and became the most viewed movie for that platform, with 95 million viewers within 24 hours.[60][61][62]
In 2016, it was announced that Rajput would appear in two films: Chanda Mama Door Ke, a science-fiction space film, along with R. Madhavan; and Takadum, a musical drama, opposite Irrfan Khan and Parineeti Chopra, supposed to be directed by Homi Adajania.[63][64][65] He later withdrew from the former, citing date conflicts.[66] He was also going to star in Shekhar Kapur's project Paani which was shelved due to production issues by Yash Raj Studios.[67][68] He was also set to essay 12 real-life characters, including political strategist Chanakya, poet Rabindranath Tagore and former Indian president A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, in a biopic series on Stories of India.[69][70]
Rajput was in a publicised relationship with his Pavitra Rishta co-star Ankita Lokhande for six years.[71] They broke up in 2016.[72][73]
Rajput loved astronomy and astrophysics, and purchased a Meade LX-600 16" telescope, placing it in a window of his house to observe the rings of Saturn.[74] In preparation for his role as an astronaut in Chanda Mama Door Ke, he was given the opportunity to train at NASA. He intended to go back and complete the certificate of instructor training, aspiring to be chosen for the 2024 Artemis program.[75] In 2017, he funded the trip for two students to the US Space Camp Center, under his education programme[76] called Sushant4Education.[77]
In May 2018, Rajput co-founded Innsaei Ventures, a technological startup.[78][79] In September 2019, he started another tech company called Vividrage Rhealityx Pvt Ltd; he served as one of the three directors of the company, along with actress Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik Chakraborty.[80] In January 2020, Rajput started a social work company Front India for World Foundation where he again served as one of the three directors of the company.[81]
On 16 July 2020, more than a month after Rajput's death, Rhea Chakraborty identified herself on social media as Rajput's girlfriend.[82]
On 14 June 2020, Rajput, aged 34, was found dead, hanging from the ceiling fan[4] in his home in Bandra, Mumbai.[83] He had reportedly been suffering from depression.[84][85][86] The Mumbai Police commenced an investigation, stating that the death was being treated as a suicide.[87] The postmortem report stated that the cause of death was "asphyxia due to hanging,"[88] and called it a "clear case of suicide."[89] No foul play was found.[90] The viscera report likewise ruled out foul play.[91] On 25 July, Rajput's family lodged a first information report with police in Patna, where his father lives, accusing Rhea Chakraborty and five others of abetment of suicide.[92]
On 16 July 2020, Hindustan Times reported that in the wake of Rajput's suicide, "a massive online campaign fuelled by conspiracy theories has been demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation into the matter." Rhea Chakraborty,[82] Rajput's maternal uncle,[93] and an online campaign[94] also demanded the same. On 17 July, Maharashtra Home Minister, Anil Deshmukh, denied a CBI probe was required.[95] On 5 August, however, Tushar Mehta, Solicitor General of India, told the Supreme Court that the executive branch of India's national government had accepted the recommendation by Bihar's state government for a CBI inquiry into Rajput's death.[96] On that basis, officials said, CBI has decided to start the probe.[97] On 19 August, the Supreme Court allowed the CBI to take control of the investigation[98] and ordered the CBI to look into any future cases registered in relation to Rajput's death.[99] A CBI spokesman said a CBI team would visit Mumbai in due course for further investigation, but added, "Other details cannot be shared at this stage."[100]
