I can impress any girl: Sushant Singh Rajput
Amrita Mulchandani, TNN | Sep 8, 2011, 12.00AM ISTHe tasted success at an early age. And there has been no looking back since then. Right now, he's basking in the glory of his show Pavitra Rishta. He's small screen's heart throb.
Sushant Singh Rajput was in Ahmedabad for the first time to inaugurate a store and didn't really get a chance to explore the city. Ask him about the rumour doing rounds that he's quitting the show and he puts it all to rest by saying, "I am not quitting the show."
Sushant is working in the show with his girlfriend Ankita Lokhande. It is believed that working with a partner gets little difficult at times. Ask Sushant about the same and he says, "I feel a level of understanding is very important between a couple. 'Divine' is the word that describes our relationship. The only problem is that it gets difficult to work with other female actors," he laughs.
There are several actors who just don't talk about their relationship and prefer to play a hide and seek game. But Sushant is different. "I was sick and tired of answering all the questions about Ankita. I just wanted to shut them up and there wasn't anything to hide in it. I am honest and I am fine if people know about my relationship. Our relationship does exist in reality and I don't mind talking about it openly," he says.
Before joining the television industry, Sushant loved to party hard. But it's a different story now. "Today working for 15 hours in a day, I am a different person completely. My reel character has changed me. I have become more quiet in real life. I have changed as a person. I am also learning about the unconditional love one has for his/her partner," he says.
You can't resist asking him about fame to somebody who has had his share of fame at a young age. "In the beginning, getting attention is exciting. Now I am used to it and it also inspires me to work hard so that I can live up to people's expectation. I am surprised with the response I have got with my show. I have worked honestly and I will do so in the future. Most of the time I work because I like to do a particular thing and not because I want fame," says Sushant. So, is it difficult for him to handle his female fan following? "Ankita handles all the girls. I don't worry much about that," he says with a laugh.
Talking about the dynamics of being an actor now, he says, "Dancing and acting talent is surely the main ingredients film makers look for in an actor but I don't look at it that way. When I am in front of the camera, I am not myself - I express as an actor. And dance is something I love - it is not the steps, I completely fall in love with the music and groove. For beginners, I would say they should enter in the industry to enjoy work and not for fame," explains Sushant.
Asking about his future, Sushant says that in coming five years he will be "busy in the process of film making. "Whether I am behind the camera or I am facing it, I will enjoy whatever I do. It hardly matters in which segment I work. For me only working hard and enjoying is the most important thing," says Sushant who has worked as an assistant director with Mohit Suri for Raaz.
All you girls who are dying to know if he is good with the knives and spoons, then hold your breath. By his own admission, he is an amazing cook. "I cook mouth-watering Italian and Chinese food. I can impress any girl with my cooking skills," he laughs.
