NEW DELHI: Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was full of dreams, and was relentlessly working to fulfil them. As his untimely death shocked the entire nation, his fans started sharing his handwritten list of 50 dreams.

Last year in September, the 'MS Dhoni' actor had shared a list of 50 dreams he wanted to fulfil. In a series of tweet, the 34-year-old hopeful actor took to Twitter then to share his bucket list of 50 things in handwritten notes, which included some personal goals and philanthropy.

The first on the list was learning to fly a plane. Twelve days after he shared his list, he posted a 35-second video of him checking the first dream off the list. Using two hashtags - #livingmydreams #lovingMyDreams, he kept updating his 1.9 million followers about all the dreams he managed to fulfil.


On the second number was training for IronMan triathlon, which is known as one of the toughest endurance races in the world. The participant is expected to swim 3.8 km in open water, cycle 180 km and then run for 42.195 km in a single day.


From his list, he also managed to play a cricket match with left hand.


The' Kai Po Che' actor wanted to learn Morse Code, teach children more about space, play tennis with a world champion and do a four clap push-up.

The second set of goals included charting trajectories of Moon, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn for a week, performing the double-slit experiment that gives an insight into the microscopic world, planting 1000 trees, sending children for workshops in ISRO and NASA, and meditating in Mount Kailash.


He successfully took a dive in a blue-hole (a marine underwater sinkhole situated in Belize, Central America).


Before turning towards small screen, Rajput was an engineering student in Delhi and one of his dreams was to spend an evening in his engineering college hostel, which was somewhat realised through his last cinematic outing 'Chhichhore'. The 2019 film saw the actor play an engineering student who in future conveys a message of hope and affirmation to his son who attempts to kill himself.

He wanted to paint the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, attend another NASA workshop, teach coding to visually impaired, and spend a week in a jungle.

Returning to his love for sinkholes, the actor had also mentioned that he wanted to swim in Cenotes, which he managed to achieve in September-end.


The actor shared a great insight into his life through his dream list. It suggested that he was passionate about science, physics, astronomy and adventurous at the same time. He checked the 17th point off his list when he visited the European Organization for Nuclear Research, and spend an entire day at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN.


After checking CERN off his list, the next on his list was Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory in the US.

He wanted to raise a horse, learn at least 10 dance forms, work to facilitate free education to people, learn kriya yoga (also known as Pranayama), visit Antarctica and shoot an active volcano.


He got his hands on a powerful telescope and explored the Andromeda Galaxy, which appears spiralled and is closest to the Milky Way.


He also taught women self-defence, which was 33rd on his list.


He dreamt of learning how to farm, teaching children to dance, finishing reading the entire Resnick & Halliday physics book, understanding Polynesian astronomy, learning guitar chords of his 50 favourite songs, playing chess with a grand-master and owning a Lamborghini.


Holding a bow and arrow, he stricked off 37th point from his list of being an ambidextrous archer. "Perfection resides in the ‘next’ repetition. Passion lies in the ‘present’ one," his post read.


In this last set, he wanted to visit St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, help prepare students for Indian Defence Forces, make a documentary on Swami Vivekananda, learn to surf, work in artificial intellegence and exponential technologies, learn Capoeira (a form of martial art), and travel through Europe by train.


He managed to fulfil one goal from his last set of dreams - performing experiments of Cymatics - a study of visible sound.


Known for films like "MS Dhoni: The Untold Story" and "Kedarnath", Rajput was found hanging at his Bandra home.
