Sushant, a mechanical engineering student, left studies to pursue acting. Crediting Shah Rukh Khan for being his inspiration, he became the most successful TV actor to make a mark in Bollywood after his idol. From Pavitra Rishta's Manav to Mahindra Singh Dhoni in M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, Sushant proved to be an actor par excellence. On the personal front, Sushant lost his mother in 2002 when he is 16. He would often share posts in her memory on social media.
