Sushant made his acting debut with a supporting role in the show Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil, produced by Ekta's banner Balaji Telefilms. He shot to fame with the serial Pavitra Rishta, which was also produced by her.

Earlier, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said that the 'professional rivalry' angle will be investigated by the Mumbai Police in connection with Sushant's death. He wrote in a tweet that while the post-mortem report said that it was a case of death by suicide, "there are media reports that he allegedly suffered from clinical depression because of professional rivalry".
