Sushant Singh Rajput is mightily excited about the MS Dhoni biopic. He talks to Devesh Sharma about his life choices and more... in a heart-to-heart interview
THE HEART OF MAN IS VERY MUCH LIKE THE SEA, IT HAS ITS STORMS, IT HAS ITS TIDES AND IN ITS DEPTHS IT HAS ITS PEARLS TOO” - VINCENT VAN GOGH
He’s sitting by the sea-facing window he likes; staring at the eternal conflict of the waves, which he says fills him with serenity. Sushant Singh Rajput can spend the whole day watching the sea and not get bored. “Such days,” he sighs, “are few and far between nowadays.” Cogito Ergo Sum, reads a plague placed on one of the walls of his bachelor pad. ‘I think, therefore I’m’ very much being his mantra of life. He catches me looking at it and smiles. There is a lamp made of water pipes that stands out. “I like to collect oddities,” he reveals and points out towards a mask that he says is from the movie 300. Our conversation, which follows has an ebb and flow much like the waves, frothy on the surface but teeming with meaning below… We meet again the next day during his photoshoot. He shows his no-nonsense side there, running through eight changes like Usain Bolt. He changes right there on the floor, not needing the vanity of a make-up van. His expressions come out perfect frame after frame. Perhaps, his mood has something to do with the fact the photographer Suresh Natarajan’s studio faces the sea too…
