RIP Sushant Singh Rajput: 'He would say I will be the next Badshah of Bollywood,' Pavitra Rishta actress Mrinalini Tyagi remembers the late actor

Sushant Singh Rajput's demise was a huge shock for everyone. The actor reportedly hung himself from the ceiling and committed suicide at his apartment in Mumbai. Everyone who knew and even the one's who didn't know him felt and mourned his loss deeply. Sushant had begun his journey with television and then ventured into films. While talking about his dreams and aspirations, Sushant always spoke about Shah Rukh Khan who was his biggest inspiration. At various award shows and events, the actor tried mimicking SRK's famous posture too.

In an interview with Times of India, Pavitra Rishta actress Mrinalini Tyagi opened up on Sushant's dreams, his aspirations and his idol. "He had such big dreams. He was a very hardworking boy. He would always say that we have one SRK and now everyone will have another SSR in the industry. He loved Shah Rukh Khan from the bottom of his heart. He worshipped him and was a huge fan. He would call himself SSR and do the signature pose of Shah Rukh Khan. He would say I will be the next Badshah of Bollywood. He wanted to make his own Mannat. He was a boy with big dreams in his eyes so it's really unbelievable that he can end his life. He copied Shah Rukh Khan in every sense not acting but otherwise. He wanted to walk on his footsteps."

She further opened up on the nepotism debate, she questioned everyone in Bollywood who claimed that Sushant Singh Rajput was depressed. "He was so determined that he could have achieved all his dreams had he been alive. I wish Bollywood had given him a little push like other actors, a little and I am very confident, he would have been the next superstar. He would have repeated history by becoming the next SRK. If Bollywood is saying today that he was into depression and was psychotic, then let's ask them how can they be so sure? I think everyone knows that nepotism exists and with these statements and this incident it has become evident. Sushant has in fact himself accepted about nepotism during a red carpet of an award function. He had said that nepotism exists in all fields and according to him nepotism can co-exist peacefully with talent as long as outsiders with talent were allowed to flourish. He had also said that if that does not happen then the whole structure of Bollywood would collapse. He had said this and I feel if he had got the boost that he needed he could have been the next SSR," she told the portal.
