Sushant Singh Rajput 5th Death Anniversary: A Look Back At Kedarnath Actors Educational Achievements
Sushant Singh Rajput: A Star Beyong Acting
Sushant was a remarkable actor and everyone loved his works but he was much more beyond the acting. He excelled not just in acting but also in academics,primarily in science and technology.
According to a report by Times of India, He secured the All India Rank (AIR) 7 in 2003 in Delhi College of Engineering Entrance Exam. He enrolled in the mechanical engineering program at the institution, Delhi School of Engineering which is now known as Delhi Technological University. However, he chose to leave during his third year to follow his true passion for acting.
He was also a National Olympiad winner in Physics. Additionally, he cleared 11 engineering entrance exams which included the very prestigious ISM Dhanbad.
In 2017, in an interview with Hindustan Times Sushant revealed that his aim was never to become an engineer instead he wanted to become an Astronomer. He had a deep love for science and astronomy. 'Engineering wasn't my choice. I wanted to be an astronaut, and later, an Air Force pilot. I remember tearing up my Top Gun poster when my parents told me that was not going to happen. Apparently, I was going to be an engineer. Maybe the drama I did that day should've given everyone a clue! But truly, I was gutted," he said.
He also added in the same interview that he secured the scholarship in the very prestigious Stanford University but he chose to follow his passion and enrolled himself into the Shiamak Davar's dance academy and then started his journey in Bollywood as a background dancer and he was part of the troupe featured in the famous "Dhoom Again" song from the 2007 film Dhoom 2 from where his remarkable acting journey started.
Tragically, in June 2020, Sushant was discovered dead at his Mumbai residence. As per the post-mortem report the cause of death was identified as "asphyxia due to hanging." But his legacy will continue to live on in people's hearts through his impactful performances, intelligence, and the inspiration he provided to countless fans who admired his journey, talent, and passion.

ID (intellectual disabilities) is described through relatable lines like, 'Humaari kismat haathon pe nahi, chromosome pe likh ke aati hai (Our destiny isn't written on our palms — it's written in our chromosomes).' While the underdog sports narrative and troubled-coach arc feel familiar, the film's heart and humour keep it engaging. ' The review also highlighted certain points that could have been better. For instance, the overly sentimental climax or segments that were stretched more than needed.

Tara Sutaria's Rumoured Beau Veer Pahariya Praises Her Song With AP Dhillon, She Reacts
Last Updated: Tara was earlier in a long-term relationship with Aadar Jain, Ranbir Kapoor's cousin, but the two parted ways in 2023. Tara Sutaria and Veer Pahariya continue to spark dating rumours, and their latest social media interaction has only added fuel to the fire. On Thursday, Tara dropped her new track Thodi Si Daaru with singer AP Dhillon, and it didn't take long for fans and her rumoured boyfriend to react. The song, featuring catchy beats and glamorous visuals, has grabbed attention not only for Tara's dazzling presence but also for her steamy chemistry with AP Dhillon. Among the many compliments pouring in was one from Veer Pahariya, who took to Instagram to show his support. Just hours after the release, Veer shared a snippet from the music video on his Instagram Stories, adding a string of emojis—heart, fire, and heart-eyes—and tagged Tara in the post. The actress, clearly touched by the gesture, reshared his story on her own profile, leaving fans gushing over the sweet exchange. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TARA💫 (@tarasutaria) While neither Tara nor Veer has officially confirmed their relationship, the internet has been rife with speculation. Rumours began earlier this month when both shared scenic pictures from what appeared to be the same exotic location. Veer was seen lounging on a yacht with a rocky mountain in the background, while Tara posted a snap from the same spot—leading fans to conclude they were vacationing together. Back in March 2025, Tara and Veer turned showstoppers together at the Lakme Fashion Week, where their chemistry didn't go unnoticed. Since then, they've been spotted out and about, including a quiet dinner date in Bandra in June, where they exited separately but were clearly dining together. According to a report by Times of India, the duo has been seeing each other for over two months now. A source told the publication that they are still 'trying to figure things out," but there's certainly something brewing. Tara was earlier in a long-term relationship with Aadar Jain, Ranbir Kapoor's cousin, but the two parted ways in 2023. Post that, she was briefly linked to Arunoday Singh, a rumour she denied. Veer, on the other hand, was once rumoured to be dating Sara Ali Khan before she joined films and was later linked with Manushi Chhillar, though she clarified they were just friends.
