Actor Sushant Singh Rajput says he is unperturbed by what's written in the media about his personal life as he understands the game of sensationalism.
When Sushant was in a relationship with his ‘Pavitra Rishta’ co-star Ankita Lokhande, their romance and break-up made headlines. Then ever since he started work on ‘Raabta’, reports of his alleged closeness to co-star Kriti Sanon surfaced. There also has been stories about his temper issues.
"It was annoying when nobody used to write anything about me. So, I've definitely improved in a way that now people are writing about me," said Sushant.
"These stories could be more interesting. They tend to get repetitive, not only with regards to Kriti, my other relationships, but also other stuff - that fans tried to meet me and something happened. These are very old stories."
Sushant insists he understands that talking about an actor's personal life is a part and parcel of the profession but what surprises him are the recent stories about him going on a coffee date with ex-girlfriend Ankita and his car ride with Kriti.
"These are like bizarre stories. I know that since everything is being discussed all the time, it is difficult to sell news that's not sensational. So, I am with them (media) on this," he said.
"But if you're investing time in writing about it and if I am taking out the time to read it, at least make it more interesting," he added.
Ask him why suddenly there is a barrage of negative stories surrounding him, Sushant says much of it stems from an already existing biased perception.
"There is a middle-class boy from Delhi, who decides to drop out and come to Mumbai. He lives with 6-7 guys in a single room, does theatre, dances in the background, becomes popular on TV but decides to quit and people say, don't do it because only Shah Rukh Khan has made it big in films.”
"Suddenly this boy makes it to the films, and when people think he may not continue doing well, he does 'Dhoni' which does (Rs) 100 crore (business)," he concluded.
