An engineering student, who dropped out of college to enter the theatre industry in Mumbai, he would soon foray into the world of television with the romantic drama Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil (2008). However, it was his stint as the lead Manav in the show  Pavitra Rishta (2009–2011) that made him a household name.

Riding high on success, Sushant would go on to make his debut in Bollywood with the 2013 hit Kai Po Che, following it with a number of projects, including  the titular role in the sports biopic of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. However, did you know that the actor wanted to quit acting, even while he was declared a box office success?

Shortly before hs death, it was reported that Sushant Singh Rajput was all set to team up with ace filmmaker Rumy Jafry to his next project with Rhea Chakraborty. In an earlier interaction to media, Jaffrey had revealed that Sushat used to share his thoughts about quitting acting and do farming or plant trees across the entire country.

Jafry had even said that Sushant would, at times, want to become a scientist so that he could invent something and at times would want to go to his Lonavala house and stay alone.

Jafry had said that Sushant had informed him about his depression and therefore, at times, he wuld try to pep him up to make him feel better, but never ask him the reason for his state, fearing the actor mught think more on it.
