Like his idol SRK, Sushant wanted to be next Badshah of Bollywood and build his own Mannat one day.

Mrinalini Tyagi spoke on the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s dream of following in the footsteps of his idol, King of Bollywood – Shah Rukh Khan. Mrinalini and Sushant worked together in the television series Pavitra Rishta that ended towards late 2014.

In an interview with TOI, talking about Sushant Mrinalini states, “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.

Mrinalini gushed about how Sushant wanted to be the next SRK and that he had such big dreams.

“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 worshiped him and was a huge fan.”

The two kept in touch from time to time and had been apparently looking forward to meet each other. “I was not in touch with him but I had messaged him sometime back and he had replied saying that he is looking forward to meet me. But it did not happen because both of us got busy.”

Sharing with the audience her thoughts on the tragic death of her friend Sushant, Mrinalini stated that Sushant and suicide were poles apart and that this was unexpected. “Sushant was brainy, super intelligent and confident and because of his talent and confidence he was able to go so ahead in life. He shifted from TV and went to films and did so well. Whatever, happened is very heart-breaking and unbelievable. He was so good that it is difficult to digest the fact that he is no more with us today. It is very tragic and heartbreaking because Sushant and suicide are two different things they don’t go together. They are poles apart”

A week ago post the news of Sushant’s demise, Shah Rukh Khan posted on Instagram a sweet picture of him with the late actor. He captioned it,”He loved me so much…I will miss him so much. His energy, enthusiasm and his full happy smile. May Allah bless his soul and my condolences to his near and dear ones. This is extremely sad….and so shocking!!
