Despite making his debut alongside Shraddha Kapoor in Yash Raj Films’ Luv Ka The End, Taha Shah Badussha had to struggle for years in the film industry before landing a pivotal role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi. Many netizens have compared Taha’s struggle to make it big in the film industry to that of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s, even calling him the “new Sushant Singh Rajput”. During a recent interaction, Taha spoke about his memories of Sushant and how he hopes to carry forward his legacy.

Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Taha said, “I knew Sushant personally. I know how it is to come from outside. I would like to take his legacy forward. People have actually messaged me and told me that I am their new Sushant. How awesome is that? Because I know how much love the audience gave him. I just hope to live up to these expectations.”

Recalling one of his meetings with Sushant Singh Rajput, Taha Shah Badussha shared, “He was a very philosophical and intelligent person. He would talk a lot about books, and I relate to him on that. I didn’t spend too much time with him; we talked only at events and parties. When I met him, we talked about NASA. We also talked about ‘Kai Po Che’ because I was being considered for Amit Sadh’s character in the film, but I ended up not getting it because of the age difference.”

After starring in Luv Ka The End, Taha Shahd Badussha appeared in films like Gippi, Barkhaa and Ranchi Diaries. He also played the role of Sidharth Malhotra’s brother in Baar Baar Dekho, which also starred Katrina Kaif in the lead role.
