'I saw the same josh in Sushant that I had,' Shatrughan Sinha says Sushant Singh Rajput's loss was a National tragedy
On the solemn occasion of Sushant Singh Rajput 's fifth death anniversary, veteran actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha opens up with rare emotion and candour. In a heartfelt conversation with ETimes, he reflects on the enduring pain of Sushant's untimely demise, the mystique that surrounds it even today, and the legacy the young star left behind. Drawing parallels to his own struggles in the industry, Sinha offers not just memories, but also wisdom for young dreamers chasing stardom in Mumbai. Shatruji, five years have passed since we lost Sushant Singh Rajput. What a loss! The country has still not gotten over it. Some tragedies are such that even time cannot heal the pain. Sushant's death remains a mystery? It's the love of the people that keeps his death shrouded in mystery. People tend to mystify the passing of those they deeply love—especially when they die young—like Guru Dutt , Meena Kumari , and everyone's favourite, Sridevi. Do you empathize more with this loss? Sushant's loss is not a regional tragedy. It was a national one. But yes, I do identify with his struggle to find a place in the Hindi film industry without a godfather. When I arrived in Mumbai, I had no contacts and no idea about how to proceed. I just had a few hundred rupees in my pocket and endless josh (enthusiasm). I saw that same Josh in Sushant. The films he did are a legacy that's hard to ignore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Infertile Man Visits Orphanage And Hears, 'Hi Daddy.'

Keep working hard. But give yourself a timeline. If things don't work out in 4–5 years, go back home. Re-set your dream. Would you recommend a biopic on Sushant? He doesn't need it.
