The world lost a gem of an actor on June 14, 2020. Sushant Singh Rajput was a talented man and a smart one too. Most people, especially his fans, knew about his journey from wanting to being an engineer to becoming an actor in the Indian film industry.
Right after his schooling from Kulachi Hansraj Model School, Delhi, Rajput secured admission in Delhi Technological University, New Delhi, to pursue his Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.??
He even secured an AIR #7 in 2003 AIEEE. Along with this, he was also a Physics National Olympiad winner and managed to clear more than seven engineering entrance exams.? ?
However, his passion for theatre took over in his third year of college and he dropped out to pursue his dream of acting. That is how we were blessed with knowing that a fine actor like him existed.
The actor was once mistaken for being a physicist studying in France by this PhD scholar who met him at an airport. Namrata Datta took to Twitter to share her experience of meeting the actor and wrote on the micro-blogging website:
In a series of tweets, she added:
She further went on to explain how wonderful the conversation between her and Sushant was and how super impressed she was by the young actor's intelligence and knowledge.
The incident makes us wonder about the endless people we come across and how we are unaware of what they are dealing with. Let's make sure kindness is always the first thing on our minds.
If you know anyone battling with depression or other mental health issues, please reach out to someone who can help.?
