Bollywood is still reeling in from the devastating news of actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death. The 34-year-old actor was found dead at his sixth-floor apartment in Bandra (West). While the police have confirmed that he has died by suicide, no 'note' was found from his residence. SSR's colleagues and friends from the film and television industry have been expressing their shock and sorrow over his death on social media.

Rajput was an explosive actor, he was an outsider, he started from scratch and reached the skies of success and stardom. However, apart from being a genius at mind, the actor had a fascination for bikes and luxury cars. Recently, a picture from 2006 resurfaced online where Sushant can be seen sitting on a yellow sports bike.

But, this picture has a very interesting and inspiring backstory. Apparently, the actor used to give tuition lessons to students aiming to get admission in engineering courses. He bought this Honda bike from the earnings through the tuitions.
