But the method actor who prepared for every character he played, a skill that his contemporaries know nothing about, laughed and told me his guitar guru was not happy with Sushant. It’s like a blessing from the Gods to be able to learn a new skill.” Sushant got himself a guitar guru to teach him the strings. Now for Takadum, I got a chance to do so. “I’ve always wanted to learn to play the guitar. Sushant confessed he liked nothing better than playing the guitar. He began to learning the guitar for a proposed film Takadum to be directed by Homi Adjania. Being on the strings is the biggest bliss of my life,” said Sushant. When I got to sing her song ' Lag jaa gale se' in Kedernath I was over the moon. Sushant admitted the reference to his mother and to that beloved song by Lata Mangeshkar had echoes from his own life.“I love to hear and sing the melodies from the golden era, specially Lataji. Sushant even sang the immortal melody in his own voice. In Kedarnath, Sushant played a pithoo whose mother loved Lata Mangeshkar’s ' Lag ja gale se' ( Woh Kaun Thi) and she would sing that timeless number to her son. Sushant Singh Rajput, Abhishek Kapoor during Kedarnath shoot Sushant too would have probably outgrown the tragic phase in his career if life itself hadn’t decided to draw a curtain on him. Interestingly, most of Rajesh Khanna’s death-stricken characters were played early during his phase of superstardom.
After the trilogy of great tragic roles, Rajesh Khanna did the spectacularly successful guest appearance in Ramesh Sippy’s Andaz where he dies singing ' Zindagi ek safar hai suhana yahan kal kya ho kissne jaana'. During the same year as Safar he again smiled his way through cancer into death in Anand, immortalising his career by taking on death headlong. He virtually relished the moments when his character gasped his last. In another of his celebrated roles in Safar, he sang in his playback Kishore Kumar’s voice, ' Zindagi se bahot pyar humnein kiya maut se be bhi mohabbat nibhayenge hum/Rote-rote zamanein mein aaye magar hanste hanste zamanein se jayenge hum' His death in Aradhana made him a superstar. Rajesh Khanna repeatedly played characters who went bravely and defiantly to their death. The only screen hero who died more than Sushant on screen was Rajesh Khanna. This is quite a lot of dying in a brief career of 7 years. In Chhichhore, Sushant’s character didn’t die but got close to it. In his big-screen debut film Kai Po Che (2013), Sushant’s character dies, as does the protagonists of Raabta, Kedarnath, Sonchiriya, and Dil Bechara. ”Įerily, Sushant Singh Rajput died in 5 out of the 12 films he completed before his sudden shocking and untimely death on 14 June, 2020. I am reminded of singer Noor jehan’s song 'Jo na mil sake wohi bewafa, Ye badi ajeeb si baat hain Jo chala gaya mujhe chodkar, Wohi aaj tak mere saath hai'.
He wanted to act, direct films, write, do organic farming…. His enthusiasm, his excitement about life was so infectious. Usska number delete karne ka mann nahin karta. Recalls his dear friend writer-director Rumi Jaffrey, “Would you believe, I still continue to read his messages on the phone. Had Sushant lived he would be 35 today, and raring to go.
