Sushant Singh Rajput is one of the chosen few stars, who made it big in Bollywood after having a successful and illustrious career on television. He was a pivotal part of Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil but his claim to fame was his role as Manav Deshmukh in Pavitra Rishta. After doing two dance reality shows where he showed off his dancing prowess, he moved on to Bollywood and made his debut with an acclaimed role in Kai Po Che. And there has been no turning back for Sushant since then. Sushant Singh Rajput Has Been Offered 12 Films! Read All Details

Sushant has been in the news for his versatile choice of films, but his best performances till date remain to be his debut film Kai Po Che, his biopic on Mahendra Singh Dhoni titled M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story and his last release Kedarnath. And on the eve of the actor’s birthday today, we decided to list down five television roles that Sushant could pull off with ease and perfection. Sushant Singh Rajput Birthday: Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor and Other Actresses We Think The Actor Must Be Paired With ASAP

Anurag Basu from Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2

Just like we have many ideal bahus and betis on-screen, Anurag is the ideal son. He has all the qualities that every mother looks for in their son and the kind of life partner that every set of parents wish for their daughters. And while Cezzane Khan, the original Anurag, set a very high precedent for the character, Parth Samthaan is matching up in the 2nd season. And what we feel is Sushant would be another perfect candidate to play Anurag. Won’t he?

While Shabbir Ahluwalia is definitely doing a great job playing rock star Abhishek Mehra, a doting husband and father in Kumkum Bhagya, we feel this is one role that Sushant can pull off with ease. With dashing looks, a killer body and dimples that can melt any girl’s hearts, we feel Sushant can pull of a rocking character like this one, especially the initial episodes where Shabbir’s character was shown performing at concerts.

Shivaay Singh Oberoi from Ishqbaaz

Nakuul Mehta’s character in Ishqbaaz was borderline Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Angry Young Man’-ish. He was a super successful businessman with a no-nonsense attitude and very temperamental. And the only people who were spared from his wrath were his family members. And yet again, if makers were to re-make Ishqbaaz ever again, we’d strongly recommend Sushant for the role. We bet by now you must have already visualized him playing Shivaay, haven’t you?

Deep Raichand from Ishq Mein Marjawan

Why must Sushant miss out on playing a negative lead in a show and why must we miss seeing the hottie play the baddie on-screen? The role of Deep from Colors’ on-going Ishq Mein Marjawan would perfectly fit Sushant. Arjun Bijlani has been slaying the role of Deep Raichand in the fast-paced thriller and we totally see Sushant in the role, playing the good and the bad boy parts to perfection.

Lord Krishna from RadhaKrishn

Sushant has looks to die for. And his charm is evident with the huge female fan base that the actor enjoys. So why not play the Krishna Kanhaiyan that girls can’t seem to stay away from? While Sumedh Mudgalkar is making his female fans go weak in the knees with his portrayal of the Lord, we feel Sushant too can mesmerize one and all with his enactment of the Lord and his charm.

We strongly can see Sushant pull off these kinda roles on television. And if the actor does play any of the above-mentioned roles on the big screen, it would only be a bonanza for his fans. And on his Birthday, we wish the actor tons of success. Happy Birthday Sushant Singh Rajput; May you slay always!
