Born in Patna in 1986, Sushant started learning dance under celebrity choreographer Shiamak Davar and also joined acting classes later, while studying engineering in New Delhi. He was later spotted by a team from Balaji Telefilms in 2008 and was signed on Kis Desh Mein Hai Meera Dil. Though he had a short role in the serial, he was well-liked by everyone and was brought back for the serial Pavitra Rishta, through which he rose to fame by playing the character of Manav in the serial from 2009 to 2011.
Film producer and director Ekta Kapoor shared clips of Sushant from his small screen days, with the caption, “Sushi forever! Shining bright like a star! Love n light wherever u r! Happie birth on earth day! (sic)”
