“I Feel Awkward When I Don’t Win An Award,” Sushant Singh Rajput Gets A Little Too Honest

2016 was a big year for Sushant Singh Rajput. The actor received accolades from all over for his stellar portrayal of MS Dhoni in the biopic of the legendary Indian cricketer. While he got into the big league last year, Sushant has plans to make 2017 even better. In a recent interview, the actor got candid about his past, present and future.

Speaking of award shows, Sushant said that he feels awkward when he doesn’t get acknowledged for his performance in ‘MS Dhoni: An Untold Story’. He said that the movie was a special experience and he really enjoyed living the character.

“I won’t lie. If I’m there to witness the awards, I do feel slightly awkward when I don’t win. A bit of acknowledgement from you folks could be a nice feeling. Having said that, me getting or not getting an award does not in any manner affect the way I go about my next project or my equation with my work.”

 

When asked about his favourite performances from last year, Sushant had two of them in his mind.

“As far as performances are concerned, I think Manoj Bajpayee in Aligarh and Swara Bhaskar in Nil Battey Sannata are my favourites of 2016.”

 

Sushant also disclosed what kind of films he will produce if he decides to become a producer some day.

“Films that excite me on some level and need my support in getting made. I’m also thinking of a different startup that will do the same. Filmmakers looking for funding could get benefited. I always feel money flowing from irrelevance to relevance is a good thing.”

 

Talking about his split with Ankita Lokhande after being in a relationship for seven years, Sushant said that he is not a person who dwells on the past.

“I lack skills to think about past and future in a deep sense. I don’t reflect and anticipate. I like sticking to what it is at this point of time.”

Seems like Sushant Singh Rajput is all set to make 2017 his year.
