Early life and education

Sushant Singh Rajput was born in Patna in
the state of Bihar to Krishna Kumar Singh
and Usha Singh.[2][9][10] His father is a
retired technical officer and worked at
Bihar State Handloom Corporation in
Patna.[11] He was the youngest of five
siblings and had the nickname Gulshan.[12]
One of his four sisters Mitu Singh was a
state-level cricket player.[9] He attended
the St. Karen's High School in Patna.[12][13]
His family moved to Delhi following his
mother's death in 2002 where Rajput
completed his schooling for intermediate
studies in Kulachi Hansraj Model
School.[10]
Rajput was reportedly an avid reader who

was deeply interested in astrophysics and
won the National Olympiad in Physics.[14]
He secured admission in the Delhi College
of Engineering (later renamed Delhi
Technological University) to pursue a
Bachelor of Engineering degree in
mechanical engineering.[15][14] According
to Rajput, he did not have any interest in
engineering but his family gave him no
option which left him dissatisfied. He
instead wanted to become an astronaut
and later an air force pilot but was also
interested in Bollywood, being a fan of
Shah Rukh Khan.[16]
Career
2006–2011: Early career and

television
During his course at the Delhi College of

Engineering, Rajput enrolled himself in
Shiamak Davar's dance classes.[9] Soon
afterward, he also began attending acting
classes under the theatre director Barry
John.[17][18] Rajput later stated that he
found the experience to be liberating and
wanted to continue doing it forever.[19] He
featured as a background dancer in the
Dhoom Again song of Dhoom 2 and in
Aishwarya Rai's performance at the
closing ceremony of the 2006
Commonwealth Games.[20] In 2006, he
dropped out of his engineering course
during his fourth year to begin a career in
arts and performance.[21][22] He moved to
Mumbai, took up odd jobs and small roles
alongside working in the theatre
industry.[23] Rajput eventually joined Nadira
Babbar's theatre group called the Ekjute in
which he remained for two and a half
years.[24][25]
He was spotted by a casting team of Balaji
Telefilms while he was working at the
Prithvi Theatre.[17] Rajput was
subsequently called for an audition and
cast as a second lead in the television
series Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil in
2008.[26][27] He had secured the role of
Preet Singh Juneja, the stepbrother of the
lead named Harshad Chopda and entered
the show in its seventh episode.[28] The
character was killed early in the show, but
due to popularity among viewers was
brought back in the series finale as a spirit
looking on as his family celebrated coming
out of difficult times.[29] The performance
had made an impression on the producer
Ekta Kapoor who vouched for him to be
cast as the lead in another series Pavitra
Rishta,[26] reportedly against the wishes of
the hosting channel, Zee TV.[30][31]
In Pavitra Rishta, Rajput was cast as

Manav Deshmukh who was an "ideal son
and husband" and co-starred along with
Ankita Lokhande.[32] The role was
reportedly a breakthrough for him and for
which he won various television awards,[33]
including his first award for best actor in
the Indian Television Academy Awards
2010.[34] He also won three major
television awards in the categories of best
male actor and most popular actor.[35] In
2010, he joined the dance reality show
Zara Nachke Dikha in its second season as
part of the Mast Kalandar Boys team.[36][35]
On the Mother's Day special episode, the
team dedicated a performance to Rajput's
mother who had died.[37] Later in the same
year, he also took part in the fourth season
of another dance competition reality show
called Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and was paired
alongside the choreographer Shampa
Sonthalia; they emerged as the runners-up
of the season.[36]
Rajput continued to act in Pavitra Rishta

from its first airing in 2009 till his exit in
2011,[38] having played the part of the
protagonist of the series for two and a half
years at the time of his exit.[39] He had
stated that he intended to move to the
United States to study filmmaking and had
already gained experience behind the
scenes in the film Raaz 2,[27] where he was
an assistant director.[40] Rajput made a
later reappearance in the final episode of
Pavitra Rishta in 2014 after gaining critical
acclaim in Bollywood.[39]
2011–2015: Film debut and Yash Raj
Films
From left to right: Rajput, Rajkumar Rao,

Abhishek Kapoor and Amit Sadh at the
promotion of Kai Po Che! in 2013
In 2011, Rajput was spotted by Mukesh

Chhabra, the casting director of Kai Po
Che!, who invited him for an audition.[41][42]
He was in the process of enrolling for a
course in filmmaking at Stanford University
but decided to accept the offer.[17] He was
subsequently cast in the role of Ishaan
Bhatt, a district-level cricketer who was a
victim of politics in the selection fraternity
and one of the three leads, along with
Rajkummar Rao and Amit Sadh.[43][44] The
film was directed by Abhishek Kapoor and
based on the Chetan Bhagat novel called
The 3 Mistakes of My Life, which dealt with
the life of three friends affected by the
2001 Gujarat earthquake and the 2002
Gujarat riots. It was released in 2013 and
became a critical and commercial
success.[45] Rajput received a nomination
for the Filmfare Awards in the category of
best debut actor for his performance in the
film.[46][47]
Before the release of his debut film Kai Po

Che!, Rajput was signed in by Rajkumar
Hirani for a role in the Aamir Khan-starrer
satirical drama called PK.[17][48] In the film,
he was cast as the boyfriend to Anushka
Sharma's character of a journalist.[49] He
also entered into a deal with Yash Raj
Films beginning with the starring role in the
film Shuddh Desi Romance.[17] The film
was a romantic comedy, where Rajput
played the character of Raghu Ram
Sitaram, a tour guide who fell in love with a
woman on the way to his own marriage, it
featured Parineeti Chopra and Vaani
Kapoor.[18][50] Shuddh Desi Romance was
released in 2013 and became a sleeper
hit.[51] Following the release of his first two
films, Rajput was described by the veteran
director Shekhar Kapur as "one of the most
inspiring young actors to emerge out of
India" and was occasionally referred to as
the "next SRK".[17] The film PK was later
released in 2014 and became the highest
grossing Indian film.[52][53]
In June 2013, Yash Raj Films and Dibakar

Banerjee Productions announced the joint
production of Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!
with Sushant Singh Rajput in the starring
role.[54][55] Rajput began working on the
new project following the release of his
second film Shuddh Desi Romance.[56] The
film was a mystery action-thriller featuring
Byomkesh Bakshi, a fictional detective
originally created by the Bengali writer
Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay.[57] Dibakar
Banerjee, the director of the film and the IP
rights holder of Byomkesh Bakshi stories
had signed him in to play the part of the
protagonist.[17] Before the release, Rajput
made a special appearance in the police
crime drama CID in the character of
Byomkesh Bakshy.[58] The film was
released on 3 April 2015,[59] and failed to
perform well in the box office, but received
positive critical reviews.[60][61] In
September 2013, Rajput began
collaborating with Shekhar Kapur for his
upcoming project Paani, a film set in the
future that showcased a world where wars
where being fought over water.[62] The film
was initially reported to be starred by
Hrithik Roshan and then Vivek Oberoi but
finally went to Rajput after Yash Raj Films
entered in its co-production and opted for
his inclusion.[63] He had reportedly
attended workshops with Kapur for 10
months before the project was suspended
in 2015 when the Yash Raj Films backed
out of it.[64][65] In the aftermath, Rajput
ended his contract with the production
house.[66][67]
2015–2018: Dhoni biopic, Raabta and
Kedarnath
In 2011, a biopic on the life of the Indian

cricket team captain Mahendra Singh
Dhoni was conceived by Dhoni's manager,
Arun Pandey.[68] The project was initially
faced with various difficulties including
objections from the Board of Control for
Cricket in India (BCCI) and Dhoni's demand
for a large royalty.[69][70] On 25 September
2014, Sushant Singh Rajput was
announced as the actor who would play
the role of Dhoni in the biopic which was
titled M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story and
directed by Neeraj Pandey.[69][71] The film
was centered around the life of the
cricketer beginning with his childhood in
the city of Ranchi and leading up to the
2011 Cricket World Cup victory for India
under his captaincy.[47] Incidentally, Rajput
wasn't adept at cricket and had to train
regularly in the game for 13 months as
well as capture the playing style of Dhoni
for his portrayal in the film,[68] he was
coached by Kiran More who reportedly
trained him in the regimen of a
professional sportsperson rather than as
an actor.[72] The film was produced by
Arun Pandey with Fox Star Studios and
released on 2 October 2016.[73] It became
the 5th highest grossing Bollywood film of
that year.[74] Rajput received critical
acclaim for his performance and
nominations to a number of awards,[2]
including the Filmfare Awards, the
International Indian Film Academy Awards
and the winning nomination at the Indian
Film Festival of Melbourne.[75][42][76] He
also made a cameo appearance in the
comedy film Welcome to New York,[77]
which was released on 23 February 2018
and where the lead characters met Rajput
but confused him for Mahendra Singh
Dhoni.[78]
Rajput with Kriti Sanon at a promotional
event for Raabta
During the release of M. S. Dhoni: The

Untold Story, Rajput in an interview had
stated that he was signed up to do five
more films; namely Raabta, Takadum,
Chanda Mama Door Ke, another biopic of
an athlete and a film produced by Dharma
Productions featuring Jacqueline
Fernandez.[79] Earlier in 2014, reports had
emerged that Rajput was being signed in
alongside Alia Bhatt for the starring roles
in the largest budget production of the
producer–directors Homi Adajania and
Dinesh Vijan.[80] In an announcement in
February 2015, the film titled Raabta,
produced by the Vijan owned Maddock
Films and co-directed by Adajania and
Vijan was publicised where Rajput and
Bhatt were in the lead role.[81] Bhatt
however decided to opt out of the project
in the same year,[82] and the role of the
female lead eventually went to Kriti
Sanon.[83] Rajput and Sanon later featured
in a 2017 T-Series music video of the song
named Paas Aao, composed by the duo
Armaan and Amaal Mallik.[84] In 2017, he
was featured for first time in the Forbes
India's Top 100 Celebrity list.[4]
The second biopic that Rajput was to
feature in was tentatively titled as Murli:
The Unsung Hero, where he would play the
role of the disabled jawan turned
Paralympics gold medalist Murlikant
Petkar.[85] In June 2016, Rajput along with
Parineeti Chopra and Irrfan Khan were also
announced as the lead of the Adajania
directed film called Takadum with shooting
scheduled to begin in October but the
project was being put on hold due to
issues related to script re-adaptation.[86]
Meanwhile, the announcement of Rajput's
role in Chanda Mama Door Ke had come in
September 2016.[79] In the film which was
to be directed by Sanjay Puran Singh,
Rajput would have starred alongside
Nawazuddin Siddiqui and R. Madhavan
and was cast in the role of an astronaut,
for which he was even sent to NASA on a
training module in 2017.[87] He was also
cast as the lead in the spy thriller film
Romeo Akbar Walter in 2017,[88] however
he quit the project in the same year
reportedly causing displeasure to the
producer Bunty Walia who had publicised
the film with him on the cover.[89][90] Later
in December 2017, it was announced that
he was signed in by Abhishek Chaubey, the
director of Udta Punjab for his next film
titled Sonchiriya, where he would star
alongside Bhumi Pednekar.[91]
Raabta was released on 9 June 2017,[92]
which subsequently received mixed
reviews from critics and emerged as a flop
in the box office, unable to recover its large
production cost.[93] It was a time
transcending love story,[94] where Sushant
Singh Rajput played the role of two
characters who were reincarnations of
each other.[95] While the filming was
primarily carried out in the city of
Budapest, Hungary, in the Indian state of
Punjab and in the island country of
Mauritius.[96] Earlier in March 2017, Rajput
had also begun shooting alongside
Jacqueline Fernandez for Karan Johar's
Dharma Productions film, by then titled as
Drive.[97][98] The film was directed by Tarun
Mansukhani and was a prequel to the 2014
film Bang Bang!,[97] that had featured
Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif.[99] Part of
the shooting occurred in the city of Tel
Aviv, Israel which was promoted by the
Government of Israel as a part of its
tourism and diplomatic initiative.[100] The
release was initially scheduled for 2 March
2018, but in a February announcement, the
date was moved to 7 September 2018.[101]
The release was however postponed for a
second time with no fixed release date due
to creative disagreements between the
director Mansukhani and the producer
Karan Johar.[102]
Rajput and Sara Ali Khan om the set
of Kedarnath (2018)
In the meantime in March 2017, Rajput was

signed in by the director Abhishek Kapoor
and the producer Ekta Kapoor for their film
called Kedarnath.[103] It was a love story
set in the backdrop of the 2013 floods in
Uttarakhand, where Rajput co-starred with
Sara Ali Khan.[104][105] He played the
character of Mansoor, a Muslim porter
who was also a devotee of Lord Shiva and
whose livelihood revolved around the Shiv
temple at Kedarnath.[60][106] The shooting
of the film began in September 2017 and
was set to release by June 2018.[107][108]
During the shooting, Abhishek Kapoor who
had previously been the director of Rajput's
debut film Kai Po Che!, stated that Rajput
was in much better form for Kedarnath and
expected it to become an even bigger
success.[109] The film however soon
became embroidered in controversy as the
Bharatiya Janata Party alleged that it was
promoting Jihad by showing an interfaith
couple and called for the imposition of a
ban on it.[106][110] In the end, the film was
banned from screening in 7 out of 13
districts in Uttarakhand and released on 7
December 2018.[111][112] Despite the ban, it
became a commercial success,[113]
although it didn't completely meet the
projected success in the box office.[9]
Following the release, it was the second
highest grossing among Rajput's starring
films after the Dhoni biopic.[114]
2018–2020: Entrepreneurial work and

later career
On 2 May 2018, Rajput was inducted as a

partner in a company named Innsaei
Ventures, which was founded on 26 April
2018; following which he was appointed as
one of its three directors, the others being
Varun Mathur and Saurabh Mishra.[115]
Rajput and Mathur were credited as the
co-founders and set to make an
investment of ₹300 crore (equivalent to
₹401 crore or US$50 million in 2023) in the
company.[116] The company was named
Innsaei after the Icelandic word for
Institution and marketed as working in the
fields related to intellectual property and
emerging technologies.[117][116] Within a
week, he was signed in by NITI Aayog to
become a brand ambassador of the
Women Entrepreneurship Platform and for
the promotion of the BHIM mobile
payment app.[118][119] Subsequently,
Innsaei Ventures set up a fund of ₹20 crore
(equivalent to ₹27 crore or US$3.4 million
in 2023) in favour of the Women
Entrepreneurship Platform.[120] In the same
year, Rajput announced the first creative
product of Innsaei Ventures, a 12 biopic
series where he would play the roles of
various Indian historical characters
between the years of 540 BC to 2015
CE.[121][122]
In early 2018, Rajput began shooting for

the film Sonchiriya.[123] It was a historical
drama set in the 1970s, where he played
the role of a character named Lakhna, a
lieutenant in a gang of dacoits; he was in
the lead role alongside Bhumi Pednekar,
Manoj Bajpayee, Ranvir Shorey and
Ashutosh Rana.[60][18] The film was
directed by Abhishek Chaubey, produced
by Ronnie Screwvala and featured the real
life character of Daku Man Singh, played by
Bajpayee.[124][125] Released on 1 March
2019,[126] it received a positive critical
reception and won a number of awards but
failed to become a commercial
success.[60] In 2018, he was also signed in
by Nitesh Tiwari, the director of the
blockbuster film Dangal for his new film
titled Chhichhore, whose shooting began in
September.[127] It was a romantic comedy
where Rajput played the character of
Anirudh Pathak,[128] a divorced husband
who recounts his college life to his
teenage son and opposite Maya, his ex-
wife played by Shraddha Kapoor.[60][18]
Produced by Fox Star Studios and
Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the
film was released on 6 September
2019,[129] and became the third movie
featuring Rajput to gross over ₹100 crore
(equivalent to ₹124 crore or US$16 million
in 2023) after PK and the Dhoni biopic.[68]
The film won the National Film Award for
Best Feature Film in Hindi.[130]
In an interview in January 2019, before the

release of Sonchiriya, Rajput had stated
that he was in the talks for 12 other films
of which Chanda Mama Door Ke and the
biopic of Murlikant Petkar were yet to be
finalised.[131] He was to feature in
Rifleman, but the film got into legal trouble
over copyright issues shortly after its
announcement and could not be made.[132]
He had opted out of the production of
Chanda Mama Door Ke in the previous year
citing timing conflict in scheduling for its
shooting and had stated that he would
produce his own space film through
Innsaei Ventures.[133] In September 2019, a
second company named Vividrage
Rhealtyx was registered with a paid up
capital of ₹1 lakh (equivalent to ₹1.2 lakh
or US$1,600 in 2023); Rajput became one
of the three directors of the company, the
others being Rhea Chakraborty and Showik
Chakraborty.[134][135] Meanwhile, the long
delayed release of the film titled Drive had
its premiere finalised and was released
directly on Netflix in November 2019, as a
cost cutting measure.[136][137][138] On 6
January 2020, Rajput also founded a
nonprofit organisation (NGO) named Front
India for World Foundation with the stated
intent of working towards the eradication
of poverty, hunger and malnutrition and
promotion of better healthcare and
sanitation.[135][139] Prior to that, on behalf
of one of his fans, he donated ₹1 crore
(US$130,000) to the Chief Minister's Relief
Fund following the 2018 Kerala
floods.[140][141] In 2019, he featured the
second time in Forbes' annual Top 100
Celebrity list.[5]
Since 2017, Rajput was signed in for the

directorial debut of Mukesh Chhabra;[142]
Fox Star Studios had employed Chhabra
for a Hindi language remake of The Fault in
Our Stars, a Hollywood hit film produced
by 20th Century Fox.[143] Chabbra had also
been the casting director who had first
spotted him for Kai Po Che!, which was
Rajput's debut film.[144][41] The shooting for
the film began on 9 July 2018, in the city of
Jamshedpur, Jharkhand.[145][146] During the
time of the shooting, Rajput had remarked
that he shared a great bond with Chhabra
and had promised Chhabra that he would
appear in his first as well.[144] Based on the
novel by the same name The Fault in Our
Stars written by the author John Green,[147]
the film was initially titled Kizie aur Manny
and was scheduled to release in theatres
in 2019.[148] Rajput co-starred alongside
Sanjana Sanghi and played the character
of Manny, a patient of the bone cancer
osteosarcoma;[149] the role in the Hindi
remake was a reprisal of the role of Ansel
Elgort.[150] It also notably featured Saif Ali
Khan and musical compositions of A. R.
Rahman.[151] The title was later renamed
to Dil Bechara and the release date moved
to 8 May 2020.[152] The slated release of
the film however did not occur due to
restrictions imposed during the COVID-19
pandemic.[153] In the end, it was
posthumously released on the streaming
platform Disney+ Hotstar and became a
record breaker in its first 24 hours
viewership, having gathered approximately
95 million viewers.[154] The director Uday
Singh Gauri claimed after Rajput's death
that he was in talks with him about a film
based on the 2008 Mumbai attacks.[155]
Personal life
Rajput with Lokhande at Kai Po

Che 's premiere
Rajput's personal relationships have been

the subject of widespread media
attention.[156][157] In 2011, Rajput publicly
proposed to his Pavitra Rishta co-star
Ankita Lokhande during a national
broadcast of the dance competition show
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa;[32] both of them had
participated in the show as competing
contestants.[158] The couple began dating
after their first meeting on the set of
Pavitra Rishta, where they had been cast as
husband and wife to each other.[159] In
2012, they began living together,[160] and
reports of an imminent marriage between
the two occasionally cropped up in the
media.[161] In an interview, Rajput stated
that marriage and cohabitation were no
different and that it was hypocritical to
treat the former as sacred and the latter
as a crime.[162][163] At an event, he had
said, "I am very transparent about my
relationships. I mean I will not hesitate to
say that I am in a relationship".[164]
In 2014, rumours that they were already
secretly married due to family pressure[165]
were denied by the couple.[166] In January
2016, Rajput confirmed that a lavish
wedding would take place in
December,[167] but the relationship ended
prior to that, with the pair maintaining
silence on the reasons for the
cancellation.[168] In a 2021 interview,
Lokhande said that Rajput wanted to go
ahead in his career and they ended their
relationship mutually.[169]
After the breakup, Rajput's relationship

status became the subject of speculation
and gossip.[157] He was rumored to be
dating his Raabta co-star Kriti Sanon which
was denied by both of them.[170] In 2017,
Rajput courted controversy when he came
out in support of the producers of
Padmaavat whose sets were vandalised by
members of the Rajput Karni Sena.[171][172]
That same year, he became the co-owner
of Delhi Gladiators, a team in the Super
Boxing League.[173][174] In preparation for
his role in Chanda Mama Door Ke, he was
given the opportunity to train at NASA
where he intended to go back and
complete his instructor training, aspiring to
be chosen for the 2024 Artemis program.
Retaining his interest in astronomy and
astrophysics,[175] he purchased the high
end Meade LX-600 16" telescope for
stargazing purposes.[176] He also had a
collection of 125 books including a six-
volume theoretical physics series. Rajput
stated in an August 2017 interview that his
collection was not for film research, but
covered personal interests in multiple
disciplines, including cognitive science and
behavioral economics.[177] He was
reportedly an avid reader who would bring
books during tours for film shooting.[178]
In 2018, he was the subject of another

rumour regarding his Kedarnath co-star
Sara Ali Khan.[157] The rumours were never
confirmed as before the two supposedly
broke up, Rajput refused to comment on
the claims.[179] Later in the next year, it was
reported that he was dating actress Rhea
Chakraborty and that they intended to
keep the matter private.[180] When
questioned, he reportedly unwittingly
confirmed the relationship by stating that if
interviewers asked questions that were
only about him, he could answer at his own
discretion but he would also have to ask
"somebody" before confirming any
details.[181] Chakraborty and Rajput were
occasionally spotted on "dates" and
outings in Mumbai,[156][157] and on a
vacation to the Himalayan region of
Ladakh.[180]
After Rajput's death, Chakraborty
confirmed that she was his girlfriend and
that he would refuse medication, relying
instead on yoga and meditation.[182]
According to Rajput's father, the actor
mentioned his plans to marry in 2021 but
did not reveal his intended bride; Ankita
Lokhande was the only girlfriend that his
father had known about.[183]
Death
On 14 June 2020, Rajput, aged 34, was
found dead in his home in Bandra,
Mumbai.[1][184] He had reportedly shown
signs of clinical depression and had
bipolar disorder.[185][186][187] The
postmortem report stated that the cause
of death was "asphyxia due to hanging"
and called it a "clear case of suicide."[188]
Authorities and a forensic medical team
from the All India Institute of Medical
Sciences, New Delhi confirmed that
Rajput's death was not murder.[189][190][191]
On 25 July, Rajput's family lodged a first

information report with police in Patna,
where his father lives, accusing Rhea
Chakraborty and five others of abetment
of suicide.[192]
On 31 July, Enforcement Directorate (ED)

filed a case to investigate the money
laundering of Rajput's money from his
bank accounts by Chakraborty, her parents
and associates.[193] On 19 August 2020,
the Supreme Court of India allowed the
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the
Indian national government's top
investigating agency, to take control of the
investigation[194] and ordered the CBI to
look into any future cases registered in
relation to Rajput's death.[195] Later, the
Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) also filed
a case to investigate drug peddling, based
on phone chats forwarded to it by ED
during its investigation.[196]
On 8 September, Rhea Chakraborty was
arrested by the NCB in a drug case linked
to the investigation of the death probe.
Prior to the arrest, 9 others were arrested
by the NCB in the drug case including
Rhea's brother, Showik Chakraborty.[197] On
12 July 2022, the NCB filed draft charges
against 35 people, including Rhea
Chakraborty and her brother. The NCB
claimed that Rajput had been using
numerous people to obtain drugs since
2018 and accused his flatmate Pithani and
others of "aiding and abetting" Rajput to
"extreme drug addiction."[198]
On 7 September, Chakraborty filed an FIR
against the late actor's sisters, claiming
they had supplied him psychotrophic anti-
depressants[199] without proper medical
consultation and using a forged
prescription.[200] She requested an
investigation into whether these had
resulted in his suicide or a decline in his
mental state.[201] The following month,
Rajput's sisters asked the High Court to
cancel the FIR.[199] The Bombay High Court
agreed to invalidate the FIR against his
sister Meetu but upheld the FIR against his
sister Priyanka, stating that there was
"prima facie evidence" against her.[200] The
Supreme Court also rejected an appeal
filed by Priyanka Singh and the filing was
handed to the CBI to investigate.[200]
