For the unversed, even though Sushant started his acting career with the show Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil, he got his first big break in the show Pavitra Rishta, which was produced by Ektaa Kapoor’s banner Balaji Telefilms.
The show chronicled Sushant’s character Manav, a garage owner, who was in love with Archana, a simple and homely but hardworking girl. The two get married, but their bliss is short-lived due to the crises in his family.
Apart from Ektaa, Sushant’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti, too, posted a birthday wish for her late brother with a video of his unseen moments. She called him a “Star, Dreamer, and Legend.”
