Actor Sushant Singh Rajput's love for astronomy is well documented. The late actor had a telescope and he would often share his notes on astronomy and physics on social media. In fact, Rajput wanted to send 100 students to NASA. In an interview with ETimes, Bhooshan Sawant, a student from Mumbai spoke about how the late actor had sponsored his trip to NASA and had spoken about doing the same for many more kids. “We were in the 9th standard when Sushant Singh Rajput's friend, Vinay, came to our school in 2017. He took our test in which we were asked questions about our favourite subject and what we aspired to be in the future. We were told that we will get to meet Sushant Singh Rajput if we get selected and a sponsored NASA trip came as a surprise to us," the young boy told the entertainment portal.
“We were a bunch of kids who met Sushant sir at a hotel where he interviewed us and asked questions about our favourite subjects. I remember I had written a wrong formula, Sushant sir sat me down, showed me the right one and explained it to me as well," he added. Bhooshan also says that SSR took a selfie with the group and that they weren't told about the trip to NASA and that it came as a huge surprise to them. Bhooshan and another student named Selwyn Makwana were the first two students to be sent to NASA by the late actor.
“It is really sad that he passed away. You know he wanted to continue with the programme of sending students to NASA. Selwyn Makwana and I were from the first batch. He had plans for sending 100 students," says Bhooshan.
