The 30-year-old actor wanted to get into either IIT Delhi or IIT Mumbai but could not score enough to get admission in one of the premier engineering institutions of India.
Sushant, like most of the children in India, was told that only a career in engineering ensures a good job and successful career. He worked hard throughout school and made it to Delhi College of Engineering, now known as the Delhi Technological University.
He told the students how his family was ecstatic about his selection in one of the good engineering colleges in India but there was a void in his heart as that was not what he wanted.
