Sushant Singh Rajput's behaviour came under scanner after the success of “M S Dhoni: The Untold Story.” Sushant said he was not "dumb" to get affected by stardom but at the same time he was not willing to let the opinion of other people influence his decisions. "After 'M S Dhoni...' people started saying I turned arrogant but people see things the way they want to. I am not bothered by what others feel about me... I know how I am and how I want to be," Sushant said.
"Dumb people get affected by stardom. I believe that anyone who is intelligent will know that apart from the actor, there are so many other parameters deciding the success of a film and making an actor a star." Recently a clip of Sushant losing his cool on a journalist, when she asked him about the Kulbhushan Jadhav issue, went viral. The actor refused to comment on the subject which he was not familiar with. Sushant, said he was not here to please people and will talk about the subject which he is aware of.
"I take the responsibility of everything I do. If I am asked some question I will say what I feel, not what somebody else wants to listen. I am not man to please people. I will not endorse a popular opinion just for the sake of getting an acknowledgement. I will be extremely confident in putting forward my version of things." Sushant said he became rich and famous during his television days and he would have continued to do that if money was his endgame. "We define success on money and fame. They are taken way too seriously. Initially, money and fame were important to me as well. It was a big high when it started happening, but I got used to it during my TV days. Thankfully, I was doing something which I really liked (acting), otherwise I don't know what I would have done with my career."
