The
untimely
passing
away
of
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
has
really
shaken
the
entertainment
industry.
A
number
of
actors
have
expressed
the
impact
it’s
had
on
them
in
the
last
two
months.
And
now,
Ramayan
fame
Gurmeet
Choudhary
too
spoke
about
the
late
actor
in
an
interview
with
Navbharat
Times.
Gurmeet
said,
“Sushant
has
paved
the
way
for
us
in
Bollywood.
If
he
would
not
have
been
successful
there,
perhaps
the
filmmakers
would
have
rejected
me
too,
stating
why
would
they
pay
to
watch
me
in
theatres
since
they
have
already
seen
me
a
lot
on
TV.
Sushant
changed
Bollywood’s
approach
to
TV
stars.
After
Sushant
broke
that
wall,
I
was
able
to
make
a
Bollywood
debut
with
the
Bhatt
camp
film,
Khamoshiyaan.”
He
went
on
to
share
the
fear
felt
by
the
close
ones
of
actors,
“My
family
and
friends
call
me
up
and
ask
me
not
to
take
the
wrong
step
and
assure
me
that
they
will
watch
my
films,
come
what
may.
This
is
a
very
competitive
industry
and
everyone
is
scared
that
their
career
might
finish
if
they
deliver
a
flop
film.”
Gurmeet
who
first
became
a
household
name
after
being
a
part
of
TV
shows
such
Geet
Hui
Sabse
Parayi
and
Punar
Vivah
has
previously
as
well,
spoken
about
his
transition
to
the
silver
screen.
He
had
told
HT,
“My
dream
was
to
be
on
the
70mm
screen.
But
after
sincerely
doing
TV
for
years,
there
came
a
point
when
I
felt
that
I
should
try
films
because
I
wanted
to
take
on
a
new
challenge
in
life.
I
had
achieved
a
lot
on
TV
and
I
wanted
to
do
a
film.
And
during
that
time
I
was
told
many
that
'you
are
a
TV
star,
when
people
can
watch
you
for
free
on
TV
who
will
buy
a
ticket
to
watch
you
on
screen?’
I
faced
it
a
lot.”
