TRYST WITH SCIENCE, COSMOS AND UNIVERSE

Sushant Singh Rajput, besides his acting skills, was also known for his love for science and outer space. An alumni of Delhi College of Engineering (now Delhi Technological University), the actor, even after joining films, kept his passion for science alive. His Instagram feed was filled with posts about science and technology. The actor, who admitted that he wanted to be an astronaut, was also a proud owner of an advance telescope called the Meade 14 LX600 as well as a new Boeing 737 Fixed Base Flight Simulator. And his love for space didn’t stop there, back in 2018, the actor also had bought a land on the far side of the moon, in a region called the Mare Muscoviense, or the Sea of Muscovy. Last year, Rajput ticked off another dream from his bucket list when he visited CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, that operates the largest particle physics lab in the world and shared a picture from the Large Hadron Collider.
