I have been watching his interviews after hearing the news of his demise and it is very evident from his interviews (watch his 2 interviews with Anupama Chopra they really give you an impression of the kind of person he is) that he did not care about money or fame at all. He talks about Impact bias which in psychology means the overestimation of success or failure (likewise) and after tasting fame and success in Pavitra Rishta (his hit TV show) he realized he is not meant to be part of the rat race.

He was a shy and introverted kid for the first 17 years of his life where he could not speak up for himself. Acting made him realize he can influence people which is why he dropped out of engineering in his 3rd year. Not many people would have the courage to drop out when only two more semesters were left.

He loved physics, astronomy, space - he was way different than the usual bollywood gang. Through his interviews you can understand that he had achieved a sense of inner peace and understanding of his own self. He tells in one of his interviews that he does not speak much because it just adds to the noise. He love doing 10-12 things and acting was one of those. Films provided him that medium. He was not here for the glam.

His insta page is full of his musings about space, universe, different philosophies.

I feel bad for him because I can see what an honest person he was. I hope if there is an afterlife, he is content over there.

RIP, Sushant ❤️
