Sushant Singh Rajput was not only a brilliant actor but also a brilliant student. He had ranked seventh in the DCE Entrance Exam in 2003 and secured admission in the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) class in Delhi College of Engineering. He completed only three years of the four-year course before dropping out to pursue an acting career. In fact, he was also offered a scholarship at Stanford University but refused the offer to become an actor. In one interview, the actor said he loves reading and he was science buff. Sushant had a deep knowledge of quantum physics, stars and moons.
