Never knew I could act: Sushant Singh Rajput

An actor who tasted fame with "Pavitra Rishta", Sushant landed a key role in Abhishek Kapoor's "Kai Po Che!" alongside Rajkummar Rao and Amit Sadh. That marked the turning point in his career. Looking back, he credits his small screen stint and theatre for the course that his career has taken. "Everything I learnt in theatre and on TV has been instrumental to what I am doing right now because I never knew I could act," Sushant told media. The 30-year-old star said that it was theatre that first helped him to "gain the kind of confidence" needed to be a performer. However, it was TV that helped him with the technicalities of acting.
