Sushant Singh Rajput FC- see MOD note pg 124

Sushant was born in Patna on the 21st of January 1986, in the Rajput family belonging to Bihar. He lost his mother at a tender age, but being the youngest of 5 children with 4 elder sisters to pamper him, Sushant grew up to be a naughty and fun loving boy with an emotional core, and moved to Delhi sometime later. Born into a family of doctors and engineers, Sushant was expected to follow the family tradition by choosing a similar career. His mind set on his goal, he appeared in the Engineering Entrance Examination, passed it with flying colours and got enrolled in the Delhi College of Engineering in the Chemical Engineering stream. A promising student, he even qualified for a scholarship and secured a rank of 7 at the all India level. His aspirations, however, took a different turn after he saw a performance by ace choreographer Shiamak Daver's troupe. He was drawn to the world of performing arts and joined Shiamak's troupe with a lot of gusto. Luckily for him, his talent and dedication did not go unnoticed by his mentor, who gave him opportunities to perform in the 2006 Commonwealth Games and Filmfare Awards. Upon his return, he also joined Barry John's theatre classes. All this while his studies suffered, and finally Sushant made the decision to quit college and concentrate on his true calling. He directed his steps towards Mumbai, where he danced with Ashley Lobo's dance troupe, learned martial arts from Allan Amin and assisted Mohit Suri during the making of Raaz 2. Theatre continued on the side as he joined Nadira Babbar's theatre group 'Ekjute'.

It was during a play for an NGO that Sushant was first noticed by a Balaji executive, from where he went on to bag his first role of Preet in Kis Des Mein Hai Mera Dil which became immensely popular. Little did Sushant know that this role was only to be a stepping stone for grander opportunities ahead- the role of Pavitra Rishta's Manav which catapulted him to unprecedented fame and appreciation, followed by more projects like Zara Nach Ke Dikha and Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 4 which ultimately made him emerge as one of the most powerful and popular faces of Indian Television.

ZNKD which started in May 2010, based on the theme of girls vs. boys, was Sushant's first dance reality show on television. An excited Sushant took it up as a break from the monotony of daily soap shooting, and with a desire to showcase his dancing skills. The show started well for him, but there were several hiccups, as he injured himself first, then fell severely ill with typhoid and later hurt his leg in the show. As a result, he could not perform in a few episodes. Sushant also faced problems in managing his hectic schedule during the show, as a result of which the experience did not turn out as he had expected. However, his efforts and contribution to the boys team was greatly appreciated, and he garnered a lot of fans of his dancing (and his smile😉) amongst the audience, the girls team😆 and the judges.

Sushant returned with renewed zeal and vigour in his second dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhla Jaa, on Sony Entertainment Television, based on the British hit Strictly Come Dancing. As Sushant himself said, he had been out of discipline due to his incessant shooting schedules and Jhalak.. was an effort to get back into the mould. A person with a hunger to learn more and more, Sushant wanted to use the stage as a means to get out of his 'comfort zone' where dance was concerned and learn new dance styles. Not to forget, he had his childhood crush, Madhuri Dixit, as a judge, which was another reason for him not to miss the bus.

Sushant was paired with choreographer Shampa Sonthalia, the right hand of Terence Lewis and an extremely competent and talented young lady. Together, they proved to be one of the strongest pairs in the history of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa, as they scored constant 30's 8 times out of twelve, getting their first complete score as early as in week 2. With Sushant's fresh concepts and inputs and Shampa's amazing choreography, the stellar pair raced ahead of everyone, getting 'Performance of the Day' in 10 weeks out of 12. The pair was quite clearly the favourite of the judges and the audience, with every celebrity judge crooning words of praise. A shocking (and controversial) defeat greeted them in the finale, but nevertheless they were winners all along, for they undoubtedly set very high standards for the next few seasons of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa. Sushant did get the award for the Most Consistent Performer, but more importantly, he got the distinction of being one of the best dancers on television, being praised sky high by his dance guru Shiamak Davar apart from Madhuri Dixit, Terrence Lewis, Remo Dsouza and many others.
