Actor Sushant Singh Rajput Commits Suicide at 34

Sushant Singh Rajput's body was found at his Bandra home. DCP Zone 9 Abhishek Trimukhe confirmed the death and said the Mumbai Police has started an investigation.

Sushant was one of the ace actors from Bollywood with many award-winning movies under his name. His 2016 released M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, based on cricketer M.S. Dhoni was a blockbuster.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s spokesperson said in a statement, “It pains us to share that Sushant Singh Rajput is no longer with us. We request his fans to keep him in their thoughts and celebrate his life, and his work like they have done so far. We request the media to help us maintain privacy at this moment of grief.”

Born in Bihar’s capital Patna in 1986, Sushant moved from the state to Delhi after his mother passed away in 2002. A National Olympiad winner in Physics, Sushant pursued Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering in Delhi College of Engineering, but never completed the course.

It was during this period that he started taking acclaimed choreographer Shiamak Davar’s dance classes and even joined Barry John’s acting classes.
