Bollywood is still reeling in from the devastating news of actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death. The 34-year-old actor was found dead at his sixth-floor apartment in Bandra (West). While the police have confirmed that he has died by suicide, no 'note' was found from his residence. SSR's colleagues and friends from the film and television industry have been expressing their shock and sorrow over his death on social media.

Rajput was an explosive actor, he was an outsider, he started from scratch and reached the skies of success and stardom. However, apart from being a genius at mind, the actor had a fascination for bikes and luxury cars. Recently, a picture from 2006 resurfaced online where Sushant can be seen sitting on a yellow sports bike.

But, this picture has a very interesting and inspiring backstory. Apparently, the actor used to give tuition lessons to students aiming to get admission in engineering courses. He bought this Honda bike from the earnings through the tuitions.

Isn't this inspiring?

Before this, list of his dreams which he wanted to achieve in his life had gone viral on social media. In September 2019, Sushant had shared a list of his dreams which he wanted to achieve in his life. Post his death, social media users widely shared his "dream list" remembering the cheerful actor. In the post, Sushant had dreamed of learning to fly a plane, playing a cricket match left-handed, travelling through Europe by train and sending 100 kids for workshops in ISRO/NASA. Sushant had deep interest in Astronomy. His wish list also included charting trajectories of Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn for a week and diving in a blue-hole.

Speaking about his journey, the actor started off his journey in showbiz by joining Nadira Babbar's Ekjute theatre group. He was part of the group for two and a half years. At age 22, Sushant Singh made his acting debut with the television show Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil. In 2009, he played the lead role in Pavitra Rishta which made him a household name. Since then there was no looking back for the actor. Right from his Bollywood debut film Kai Po Che to his last outing Chhichhore, the actor left behind a long list of memorable roles which will be cherished forever.

You will be certainly missed, Sushant.
