Life is no bed of roses for highly ambitious actor-director and rising star of Gujarati entertainment industry, Sushil Shah. By overcoming all odds, this multifaceted youth has carved out a niche for self in Gujarati film industry in a short span of three years and raring to go.
From commuting in a local train to gaining profound popularity at the very age of 28 in the Gujarati film industry, the life of an actor and director, Sushil Shah is no less than a gripping success story. He was born in a small town of Bilimora in Navsari in1993. His father Ashokbhai Shah ran a small coal business, however the situation was such that they had to live in a rented house. The first step in his education started off with attending a government school and he decided to pursue a career in acting from the very platform of his school.
He started taking part in all the competitions related to acting in his school. Ever since then, people have been praising Sushil’s acting skills. When he was studying 10th standard, he used to give auditions and tried his luck so much so that he had to face some bitter experiences, too. Alongside acting, he was also a scholar student so he stuck to his studies quite well in the beginning.
After completing 12th, he secured admission in a Government Engineering college in Palanpur but his dream was to become an actor and director so Sushil left for Mumbai- the city of dreams. There he underwent a 6 months’ training in the institute of a veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher. Ever since then, he started getting breakthrough bit by bit with the help of his talent.
He worked as a lead actor in ‘Crime Patrol’ for 8 episodes. He also got other roles besides this. The acting career was just taking off but unfortunately he was deeply saddened by the news of his mother’s death but after a short interval he resumed acting in Mumbai. In about two years, his father died. So he had to leave Mumbai and return home. It was so disheartening for him to lose his parents at a young age and he was deeply shocked.
However, he didn’t let his grief overpower his interest in acting. He got a break in Gujarati film industry in 2018 by working in an album by Raghav Digital dubbed, ‘Patel No Dikaro’. After that he worked as a lead actor in three other serials. In a short span, he worked on about 250 to 300 album songs, wherein he boasted of working as an actor-director in as many as 100 albums. Apart from this, Sushil Shah will be seen in a lead role in the two upcoming Gujarati movies.
Thus, the journey of Sushil Shah has had many highs and lows. From travelling in a local train to having gained fame all over Gujarat as a well-known actor at a young age of 28 seems like a reel life story. And he made it in spite of many hurdles.
Speaking further, Sushil Shah said, “Now my goal is to stay in Gujarat and take the Gujarati industry to a whole new destination. The aim is to bring Gollywood to a different stage of entertainment. That’s why I’m also focusing upon direction alongside acting. Having been engaged in Gujarati film industry for over three years, I’ve made up my mind to work on more movies so that the influence of Gujarati industry shall reverberate from Kutch to South Gujarat and from North Gujarat to West Gujarat.”
