Sushant Singh Rajput was a brilliant student. He held an engineering degree but his passion for films pulled him to traverse into the showbiz world. While the actor had admitted that he was a fan of Shah Rukh Khan, but it wasn’t he who inspired him to take up acting. In his last interview, he spilled the beans and revealed that his inspiration was Hrithik Roshan.
Speaking about Hrithik’s debut film, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, Sushant had said, “Where Hrithik Roshan was everything in that film which a hero should be like. Good looking, acts well, great dancer and slightly looking forward to action also but there was not much action in the film but I still remember that song ‘Sitaron Ki Mehfil’… and then that ‘Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai’ happened again and I was like wow, I really want to be an actor. Till then I was only fascinated by the characters which Shah Rukh did. And then there was this guy who was everything.”
