Every parent sees a doctor and an engineer in their kids, they have restricted their kids from exploring other options. Thereby putting a full stop to their imagination kills and their dreams. In a population of 1.2 billion, finding a job of your choice is of course a hard nut to crack, but channelizing your energy and hard work properly, may lead an individual to success. Pursuing your dreams in a society, where parents want to see their kids earning their bread and butter as soon as possible is arduous. In this present arena of 21st century where everyone is surrounded with electronic gadgets which are totally killing the imagination of youths and where, everyone else is in a dilemma of setting a definite goal, Sushant Singh Charak, has set a goal for himself to become an actor.

Afterwards after seeing his dedication towards his work, he got an opportunity to work with the big names of Jammu Theatre like Balwant Thakur, Anil Tickoo, Neeraj Kant, Sumeet Sharma, Sanjeev Gupta and many more.

Sushant shares, ‘I had no idea when I entered in this theatre of dreams and creative world, but gradually I am feeling that theatre has changed my life. ‘
He further says , ‘Nothing is easy but it’s you who can make everything easy’. A great American Actor Brian Stokes Mitchell, once said, ‘ the magic of theatre has the power to affect the audience, an individual, or masse, to transform them and give them an epiphanal experience that changes their life, opens their hearts and their minds and the way they think’. So one can understand the power and the magic of theatre which can change your art of living. It is no cakewalk that something will happen overnight. Without, persistence and courage towards your goal it can never be achieved.

I wish he maintains his consistency, enthusiasm and current passion. This is the right age when we all will celebrate his historic accomplishments. At this juncture, we all need to support, encourage and strengthen his focussed actions aimed at the accomplishment of his ultimate goal of life.”
Sunita Pandit, a senior most actor of the state says “Sushant is a boy with too much potential, has the ability and capability to switch from one role to another with professional ease. He has all the traits of becoming a good actor, be it dialogue delivery, be it voice modulation or body language, he has mastered in everything and that too in such a short span. I see in him the streaks of an actor who leaves an enduring impression on the audience. I wish to see him as a shining star which he is already in making. I have worked with him in the one play and hope to work with him in future also. His zest to learn things has left everyone flabbergasted.”
The future of theatre lies on the shoulders of young brigade like Sushant Singh charak, who is an inspiration to the upcoming aspirants of theatre. He’s brought laurels to Natrang, one day he’ll bring laurels to the Nation. The dedication and devotion which Sushant possesses will definitely make him an actor that not many have seen. One habit of his that everyone is envious of is his dedication for acting. He’s an actor, he’s a team worker and a sincere student blended into one. For him there’s no stopping……….
