Sushant gets candid



Sushant Singh Rajput, better known as Manav of Pavitra Rishta, talks to us about the show and his experiences till now:






About
co-star Ankita, he says, “Ankita and I have become good friends. She
resembles my real-life girlfriend, they have similar facial features.
The two of them also started modelling together before she got this
show. We share a good rapport and hopefully we will continue to do so.”

Sushant’s character is getting married on the show, and the actor says
he is comfortable with romantic scenes. “In fact, I am going to have my
portfolio shot. I will call my own photographer during the wedding
sequence. As for any romantic scenes, I have tackled these in past. I
was in Shaimak Dawar’s academy, where we had to do intimate dance
forms. I think it is ok to a certain extent.”

And how does his girlfriend react? “I am good observer. Whenever she
sees me with someone else, I can see a change in her. She gets
possessive, and I have to make her understand that it is my job. To
lighten her mood and make her forget, I have taken her for long drives
and romantic dinners.” Though Sushant’s sisters know about his
relationship, his parents don’t. He adds that he is not ready to marry
so soon.”

The actor hopes to soon try his luck in films. “I quit my engineering
studies in the fourth year. My parents were not happy about, and my
father didn’t talk to me for many years. Someone advised me to try out
theatre, so I joined Barry John. Later, I joined Shiamak Dawar’s
troupe, and then assisted Alan Amin. I did stunts for Raaz and
was involved in production when people from Balaji Telefilms spotted
me; they told me I had a good face and could become an actor, and
that’s how I got my first show.” He adds, “I initially wanted to study
film in New York, but I am now concentrating on Pavitra Rishta. My plan is to assist some directors first, and then I will try and get into films.”

Sushant’s father lives in Chandigarh, and he has four sisters, who are
all well-settled. “One day, a group of girls came to know where I lived
and landed up at my Chandigarh home and asked Dad for my number. That
was when he realised that I was doing well, and now we’re on talking
terms again.”
