Films a great tool to educate, says Sushant Singh Rajput

Actor Sushant, ambassador of NDTV and DHFL Pramerica Life Insurance Co Ltd's ‘Behtar India’ campaign, was at the Modern School in the capital’s Vasant Vihar area to participate in a conclave where he stressed the need to focus on environmental issues.

He said the film fraternity should think about making a movie on environment. “Facts will make you think about an issue for the next 10-15 minutes, but that won’t stick with you for a longer period. One thing that we have managed to do is that we stay with a good story (told through films) for a long time,” said Sushant.

Speaking at the Behtar India Students' Conclave, Sushant opened up about his childhood days and said that he was a ‘naughty child’ who was always pampered by his family.

“I did my schooling and college from Delhi. During my initial years, I used to dance behind the stars. I am a big Shah Rukh Khan fan. When I was in school, I went to the 'Swades' set to get his autograph,” he said.
