Sushant Singh Rajput


"The strong man is strongest man alone"


Sushant Singh Rajput


As the news of Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide circulated, It shocked everyone with the feeling of remorse that how could a 34 year old young, successful and prominent  bollywood actor who had hands full of wealth, fame and crores of fans around the world opted this dreadful way to end his life. In spite of having so many friends in personal life & millions of fans, he was so alone surrounded with thoughts, facing Depression - a constant state of sadness or feeling blue. He had been suffering from depression for about six months. Some medical prescriptions and  reports were found in his room which indicate that he was taking professional help for dealing with his issues.

 

The reason of his suicide isn’t known because no suicide note was discovered. As per the news, some of his friends were with him on the night of 13th June. But they couldn’t help him either.

 

Sushant Singh Rajput who had scored an All India Rank  7 in Delhi College of Engineering Entrance Examination in 2003, went through the throat cut completion of Engineering  and by doing hard work and  managing time he could secure this prestigious position . He was also a National Olympiad Winner in Physics & he cleared as many as 11 engineering entrance exams, including that for the Indian School of Mines. It shows his ability of hard work. He then pursued Mechanical Engineering from Delhi College of Engineering (now Delhi Technological University) but dropped out in the third year of college to pursue acting & dancing. It clearly shows that he could take strong decisions for himself.

 

 He joined Shaiyamak Davar's dance classes just because one of his friends told him that hot girls used to come there, he stated in a funny interviewIt shows that he was full of life. It was only later that the idea of making a career in acting came to his mind as some of his friends in the dance class happened to be interested in acting and were attending Barry John's drama classes. Influenced by them, Rajput also joined the acting classes. Here, he found his passion for acting. Within a few months of joining the dance class, Rajput was selected as a member of Davar's standard dance troupe. It also shows his determination and hard work to do excel in each of the fields he chose, be it academic or cultural.

 

 He was happy and shining in the dance and drama classes and decided to drop out of engineering and devote himself into a full-time dancer and actor.

 

 To start his journey in Bollywood, Rajput moved to Mumbai and joined Nadira Babbars Ekjute theatre group, He had been a part of this group for two and a half years. Then he was featured in a TV advertisement for Nestle Munch which gave him recognition. As you all know Bollywood journey is full of struggles and thousands and millions of people move to Mumbai  to fulfill their dreams of being an actor but how many do actually  succeed? We all know about thatBut Sushant Singh Rajput was a struggler as well as an achiever.

 

 He worked in Television in 2008 to 2011 in ‘Kis Desh me hai Mera Dil’ of Balaji Telefilms and then Ekta Kapoor’s ‘Pavitra Rishta’ and became famous all over India. After getting so much of fame in his character and participating in dance reality shows, he didn’t stop and In October 2011, he decided to quit ‘Pavitra Rishta’  to pursue a filmmaking course in abroad. This shows his ability to move on to another level to achieve more success.

 

 His Film career started in 2013 with  ‘Kai Po che’  which was  based on the Chetan Bhagat’s  novel ‘ The three mistakes of my life’ ,  this film proved to be a milestone of  his carrier. As we all know after Shahrukh Khan who worked in a television serial named as ‘Fauji’,  Irfan khan & Sushant singh Rajput were only successful actors in Bollywood film Industry who had previously worked in TV serials.  He did such powerful roles in MS Dhoni & Chhichhore which gave us a social message of not to give up whatever the circumstances may be because there is so much to life that we haven’t yet seen and we can only see it if we survive to live another day. What an irony!

 

 We have lost one hell of a gem. And this loss feels personal. The thing is we are too careless to talk about mental health because we take it very lightly. Reach out to people. Don’t take change in someone’s behavior casually because we don’t know what one is going through. Talk to your children, parents, relatives, colleagues. Maybe a little chat can save someone’s life. When a person is depressed, what he actually wants is to give up on the negative thoughts, people, torture, stress but he ends giving up his own life because we don’t know what thoughts are eating up his strength to live. I read in a post that “If suicide ever crosses your mind, just know I would rather listen to your story than attend your funeral”.

 

 May his soul rest in peace. We have lost a star like so many others lost in the endless sky. You will always be remembered SUSHANT SINGH RAJPUT.
