Family, fans and film industry colleagues took to social media to remember late actor Sushant Singh Rajput on his first death anniversary. The 34-year-old actor was found dead in his Mumbai residence on June 14 last year.
Bihar to Bollywood
Sushant, who began his acting career in 2008 with the TV show ‘Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil’, became a household name when he grabbed the lead role in Zee TV’s ‘Pavitra Rishta’ opposite Ankita Lokhande.
Soon after he reached the peak of his career, he left the television industry to test his luck in the Hindi film industry.
In 2013, he made his Bollywood debut with ‘Kai Po Che’ and since then he never looked back. The actor has been a part of several hit films including ‘Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!’, ‘M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story’, ‘Kedarnath’ and ‘PK’.
He played the lead role in the blockbuster film ‘Chhichhore’, co-starring Shraddha Kapoor, which bagged major accolades including a National Award for the best Hindi movie.
His last movie, ‘Dil Bechara’, was released digitally a month after his death.
Family and fans await justice…
