“aapne joh mere baare mein socha tha, joh sapne dekhe the, woh sab kuch ho raha hai, but you’re not here.”

sushant beautifully conveyed an amalgam of raw emotions through this performance. the peace & solace he felt in his mother’s presence is clearly evident in his smile.

“yahaan sab kuch hai maa phir bhi, lage bin tere kuch akele.”

he transitions to pain & solitude with ease & perfection. i can feel his yearning. his eyes masterfully capture how lost he feels in her absence. his form, his grace, his sincerity, his profundity - so full of depth.

“aaj itna kuch acha, lekin she’s not there. maa ko batana chahta tha ki i really miss you.”

sushant genuinely loved his maa. after losing her at age 16, one can imagine how lonely he felt. it warms my heart knowing they’ve united. she must be so proud of his accomplishments!

sushant had mentioned that through dance he could finally articulate himself. this performance enabled him to openly express the emotions & suffering, he had kept within himself for so many years. dance gave him a voice that would be heard; one that’ll forever resonate with us.

i‘ve never related to a celebrity to such an extent. and that’s because sushant never allowed his stardom to overpower his sincerity. this one minute aptly captures the being i am - an introvert who attempts to “fit in” but is only an extrovert around those he or she vibes with.

“when you know nothing, you say a lot. when you know something, what is there to say?”

sushant felt as though words could never aptly convey one’s thoughts & emotions; rather words only sully such pure sentiments. his silence spoke volumes of his vast profundity & sensibility.

he strongly encouraged everyone to solely follow their dreams & passion. his mantra to life was so simple yet so enlightening - happiness is synonymous to excitement & cultivating something one loves incites that elation. fame & wealth are trivial in respect to these sentiments.

confidently expressing myself without any trepidation or reluctance is quite a daunting task & thus sushant’s introverted nature resonates deeply with me. however, his acceptance towards this trait of his inspires me to wholeheartedly embrace my individuality for the first time.

sushant, harboring a strong passion for science & philosophy, was one of few i’ve witnessed who truly understood the complexities of the world.

this quote captures his ideology of cultivating a vast range of perceptions, wholly capitalizing on potential & embracing uncertainty.

“i am still over the moon.”

although i do not understand the mechanics of astronomy & physics, i have always been fascinated & thus seeing sushant’s elation upon experiencing his life-long theories come to life gives me utmost joy. nasa treated you far better than the industry!

it takes great courage to accept roles that one has never played before & thus not certain he or shall be capable of portraying. but sushant exhibited this tenacity time & time again, every time he indulged in a challenge. he truly was synonymous with versatility!

“as an actor also, when i act, i think like a dancer. it’s only rhythm for me, it’s only beats & pauses that i play on.”

in every interview, sushant so masterfully explains the beauty of each medium he belongs to, whether dance or acting. we’d have love to watch your dance film!
