'He who has why to live can bear almost any how.'
Sushant Singh Rajput quoted the late German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche on the latter's birthday last October, probably giving us a glimpse into his mind.
Eight months later, the actor committed suicide, shocking Bollywood and the entire country.
Sushant had come to Mumbai from his hometown Patna with dreams in his eyes, many of which he fulfilled.
But there were many more.
