On the first anniversary of late Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput's death, one can't help but reflect on the sort of artist he was, the sort of personality he exhibited in his numerous interviews - intelligent, a little intense, and a gifted creator. One such ad is the Asian Paints film depicting Sushant's residence, which shows all of the actor's qualities whilst giving us a glimpse into his personal space.
The video, titled Asian Paints Where the Heart is Season 2 Featuring Sushant Singh Rajput, was posted a little more than three years ago. It presently has over 9.5 million views, making it the channel's most popular video. In it, the MS Dhoni star takes a tour of his Bandra home, which is bright, quirky, and reflects the late actor's diverse interests.Also Read: Sushant Singh Rajput's death anniversary: Ankita Lokhande shares glimpses from Havan at her home
“I don’t know how to become a star, and if you are one, then how do you even preserve that stardom?” Sushant says in the tiny clip's opening segment. I don't think about it. “All I do is stare at the stars.” Sushant loved science and astronomy, as his admirers know, which explains his fascination with the stars. See video of SSR' home tour here.
SSR's obsession with storytelling and stories is evident when he shows the audience his living space, which is totally decked with all kinds of antique images on one side of the wall. The actor claims that if one looks intently enough, they will see themselves peering into a completely another world.
Sushant's favourite object, a magnificent-looking Meade LX600 telescope, is finally brought into focus by the camera. Sushant's 'time machine' is reportedly one of the most advanced models of telescopes available, which the actor admits to using to observe the rings of Jupiter and Saturn.Sushant's pet fudge also makes a cameo, as the actor claims that his pet gives him a "forever kind of feeling."

Sushant is heard in the video expressing his childhood dream of becoming an astronaut —“I always wanted to be an astronaut, then I talked myself into becoming a pilot, then an engineer. And then I got confused, so I thought let’s be an actor and be everything.”
Sushant later draws a link between his home and his profession, explaining why he feels so at ease here: “This house is made up of old, broken, fixed stuff, which I can perfectly identify to, because that's how my career has also been built.”
Sushant, a huge Shah Rukh Khan fan, revealed near the end of the video that if the superstar ever came to his house, he would make him to watch his debut film, Kai Po Che. “He (SRK) is a huge source of inspiration for me. So I'd ask him to see my first film, then the second, and finally the rest,” the actor stated playfully.”
