Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
last
release
'M.S.
Dhoni:
The
Untold
Story'
won
him
praises
from
all
corners
for
his
portrayal
of
the
famous
cricketer.
He
has
a
string
of
films
in
his
kitty
belonging
to
different
genres.
At
the
same
time,
his
personal
life
too
keeps
grabbing
headlines
with
his
link-up
with
his
'Raabta'
co-star
Kriti
Sanon
post
his
break-up
with
his
long-term
girlfriend
Ankita
Lonkhande.
In
a
recent
interview
with
a
leading
daily,
Sushant
spoke
about
love,
relationships
and
his
split
with
his
ex
ladylove.
Here's
what
he
had
to
say...
For
Me,
The
Opposite
Of
Happiness
Isn't
Sadness
But
Boredom
Talking
about
what
makes
him
happy,
Sushant
was
quoted
saying,
"Excitement.
For
me
the
opposite
of
happiness
isn't
sadness
but
boredom.
If
you're
excited
about
doing
something
then
you
are
happy.
I'm
not
saying
be
obsessive
about
it
or
try
to
control
things
around
it
or
try
to
shape
the
future.The
process
of
creating
something
should
be
exciting.
Even
when
I'm
excited
thinking
about
it
I'm
happy.
It
means
a
lot
to
me
that
during
the
process
of
giving
a
shot
I
lose
myself
completely
in
the
moment
and
become
someone
else.
I
may
not
consciously
realise
it
then
but
on
reflection
you
feel
content.
I
want
to
freewheel,
to
fly
without
a
compass,
not
to
prove
a
point
to
anyone
else
but
for
my
own
fulfilment."
You
Miss
The
Memory
Of
Being
With
Someone
Rather
Than
Missing
That
Person
The
actor
has
a
philosophical
take
on
relationships.
He
said,
"Relationship'
is
a
very,
very
broad
term.
There
are
different
kinds
of
relationships.
And
they
go
beyond
what
we
generally
define
as
romance.One
is
to
seek
security.
The
other
is
you
believe
that
because
of
your
presence
the
other
person
is
happy.
It's
your
inherent
nature,
which
makes
you
believe
so.
It
doesn't
mean
anything
but
points
towards
self
obsession.
Even
if
you
think
you
miss
someone
after,
say,
the
relationship
is
over,
you
don't
miss
the
person.
You
miss
the
memory
of
being
with
someone
rather
than
missing
that
person.
But
you
fool
yourself
into
believing
otherwise.
So
this
idea
of
being
a
good
person
and
living
with
a
goal-driven
future
with
a
partner
itself
is
wrong.
I'm
not
saying
it
can't
happen
but
the
thing
is
you're
not
a
superman
to
achieve
everything.
You
need
two
different
sets
of
skills
to
survive
in
this
field
on
your
own
terms
and
have
a
great
relationship
quotient
as
well.
And
these
two
sets
of
skills
aren't
symbiotic
towards
each
other.
Right
now,
I'm
also
in
the
process
of
figuring
myself
out.
Let
me
finish
that
first.
Figuring
out
someone
else
comes
much
later.
Yes,
relationships
can
be
very
fulfilling,
can
give
you
a
sense
of
security
in
yourself,
in
God,
in
your
work,
whatever...
keep
you
going
but
they
aren't
the
solution. "
My
Real
Fans
Would
Respect
My
Right
To
Privacy
When
asked
about
his
break-up
with
Ankita
Lonkhande,
he
quipped,
"I'm
not
going
to
elaborate
on
that.
I'm
not
in
the
right
frame
of
mind
talking
specifically
about
it
right
now.
Yes,
I
spoke
about
it
for
maybe
two
minutes
and
they
made
a
whole
interview
around
it.
They
forgot
to
include
the
40-minute
conversation
I
had
about
my
film.
Does
that
sound
right
to
you?
Is
it
fair
to
report
on
just
one
part
of
my
life
and
ignore
everything
else?
You
may
argue
that
it's
what
the
fans
like
and
you're
just
fulfilling
a
demand
curve.
But
believe
me;
my
real
fans
would
respect
my
right
to
privacy.
And
is
it
fair
to
her?
Maybe,
she
doesn't
like
getting
up
in
the
morning
and
having
her
name
splashed
across
the
papers.
Has
anybody
thought
of
that?
I've
yet
to
take
her
permission
about
speaking
about
our
break-up
and
would
like
to
extend
that
courtesy
to
her.
In
any
which
case,
I've
tweeted
about
it.
It's
a
matter
of
public
record
now.
I've
said
that
everything
you
know
changes
one
morning...that
two
people
who
are
close
sometimes
grow
apart.
It's
sad
but
there's
nothing
you
can
do
about
it.
What
more
can
I
add?"
I
Was
Very
Angry
When
Some
People
Believed
My
Break-Up
Is
A
Publicity
Stunt
The
actor
further
added
that
he
gets
miffled
when
people
say
that
his
break-up
was
just
a
publicity
stunt.
He
said,
"I
was
linked
with
Kriti
because
I'm
doing
'Raabta' with
her.
I
was
linked
with
Parineeti
Chopra
during
'Shuddh
Desi
Romance'
These
things
tend
to
happen
and
you
take
it
with
a
pinch
of
salt.
What
got
me
angry
was
that
some
people
even
believe
my
break-up
is
a
publicity
stunt.
That's
one
reason
I
want
to
stay
clear
of
my
personal
space
during
interviews.
