He will soon direct not one or two but three short films. Presenting the multi talented Sushant aka Manav of Pavitra Rishta. With a rocking show, a flying career, a beautiful girlfriend ? what more could a man ask for?

You are indeed versatile. After wowing everyone with dancing and acting abilities, now we hear you have a passion for direction as well and even assisted director Mohit Suri in Raaz 2.
Though I would have liked but I didn't assist him all through the film but mainly worked for the pre-production and a bit after that. I got Balaji's acting offer for Pavitra Rishta, so I opted out. I love the craft of film making and I am directing three movies.

Three movies? tell us more?
They are three short films for national and international film festivals. I will direct all three but act in the last two only. The first one will be shot in a month and is called Ignored Decibel. This 20 minute film is based on schizophrenia. The second one is written by my friend from NSD and is a dark, abstract love story with poetic sentiment called Subway. And the third is a story based on a Stephen King novel.

You had plans to go to the US to pursue a film-making course as well.
Yes I do want to do that but it won't happen soon- maybe next year. I plan to go to the US for a film-making course at UCLA and at the New York Film Academy. I even got a call from the NYFA last year but I couldn't leave Pavitra Rishta. Yes I do want to do that but it won't happen soon- maybe next year.

Have you received three film offers from big production houses?
I have got offers but I haven't decided on anything so no comments on them for now.

Doing a dance show Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa and a daily soap must have been tough. Did you enjoy the hectic schedule? Did you get any time for yourself?
I was an engineering student. I have done plays and now tv serials. I can't complain as I am living my dream. Even if I work 22 hours a day, I am happy. I enjoy my work and take pleasure in it.

What is dance for you?
It is my passion, in my blood and my love. I can do anything for dance and any and every form of dance inspires, excites and lifts my spirit.

What is the best compliment you got for your dancing in Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa?
There were two of them. Shamiak [Davar] told me ? no matter what the final result is, you are a winner for me and Madhuriji [Dixit] said- is there anything you can't do. I treasure these compliments. I enjoyed Jhalak totally.

Which one was your best performance?
I love my first dance performance as it was technically correct even if I scored low. The flamingo dance too was technically very good. The Chau dance, and performance on Madhuri's Ore piya are closest to my heart.

Who would you give the credit of Pavitra Rishta's success?
The simple story, the relatable characters, great actors ? all combined make Pavitra Rishta work.

What are similarities between Sushant and Manav?
None. I am not like Manav at all. I am opposite of Manav. Infact playing Manav is affecting me in a way that now I have started thinking and behaving like him in real life.

ok , replying to niki's post in the other thread ( which got closed ) ..

hmm .. so he said the horror act is based on ignored decibels which is about schizophrenia ... i am wondering how...

hmm ... so maybe in the film shampa is actually a part of his hallucinations and not really a ghost ..

so maybe the guy kills himself ... i.e it is suicide and not murder by a ghost...

sushant probably tweaked the story a bit for jhalak..

The guy is so committed that he does not want to leave the show that made him so famous PR..I guess he has planned to postpone his US course trip to next year once PR gets over.Amazing truly deserves all the accolades he is getting ,Ekta must be so proud of him and as article said when you have a beautiful Girl Friend in form of Anki who would want to leave 😆

No lunza, he didn't say it himself that the horror act was based on ignored decibels... Telly Buzz reported it... he only spoke about Chhau... that it was based on Mrityunjay, a play in which he acted.

So either it can be that he tweaked the story a little, or it can be that Tellybuzz got confused about which of the short films idea he used in horror act.

Either way, the horror act was outstanding yaar. What expressions and what body language! Too good!👏 Especially the way his whole body struggles when Shampa strangulates him with the rope... ahahaha! And even the little little things like how he looks here and there... (camera on close focus) takes his tongue out, licks his lips a little nervously (like we do when we are nervous), suddenly Shampa comes and scares him and a sudden scary background music... even today I watch it and I'm like '**shudder ** at this part... even now I get goosebumps......Pure genius these two... I love them... and I miss them... 😭

Thanks for Sharing.. Aww So Shiamak did he say Sushant is the winner for him what may be results.. That is really great.. When Shiamak came on DID Doubles I was thinking if he would have come on JDJ.. I wanted to see what he would have said about Sushant..

Loved all this answers esp about the PR..
