Mumbai: Sushant Singh Rajput’s friend and former flatmate Samuel Haokip took to his Instagram handle to share a video in which the ‘Dil Bechara’ actor is heard saying that there is no need to have a Godfather to succeed.
In the video, Sushant is seen speaking to the media with his father KK Singh sitting next to him with a proud smile on his face.
When a journo asked the actor if he had any godfather in the industry, the actor stated that he wouldn’t have succeeded if he had a godfather.
“There is no need to have a godfather, if there was, I wouldn’t have succeeded. There is a father, and there is a God. The person who connects them is the godfather. I have both God and a father in my life,” said Sushant in the video.
The actor further said that he was doing his engineering when he realized that performing arts could help him connect with people. So, he dropped out of college and came to Mumbai to become an actor.
The late actor’s friend Samuel captioned the video as: “Freedom depends upon how evolved our society is.”

As soon as the post went viral, fans started commenting on it.
One user commented, “KK Singh uncle is there and so proud he is smiling.”
Another wrote, “What a man! So evolved, extremely intelligent..it’s heartbreaking what happened to him. Miss you SSR.”
In an interview with Republic TV, Samuel said that Sushant was a lively person and he cannot be down with depression.
“Not my assessment of Sushant at all. Till I was there, he was very lively person. He’d be like, ‘Let’s do meditation and play TT.’ He taught me so much. We were always happy, in the moment, doing something creative. The day would not end, and it was spiritual in a way,” he had said.
