Sushant Singh Rajput's father KK Singh, after the late actor's prayer meet at his residence in Patna, spoke to an entertainment portal and revealed that his son had a lot of plans for his home state, Bihar, including schools and colleges for the youth. Singh also recalled how the late actor would often look at the moon through his Rs 55 lakh worth telescope. Sushant had always been interested in the mysteries of the universe and often spoke about astronomy with everyone he came across.

In 2018, after the success of M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, he purchased a piece of lunar land on the far side of the Moon, in a region called the Mare Muscoviense, or the "Sea of Muscovy" from the International Lunar Lands Registry. The property had no legal value but that did not stop the actor from indulging his inner nerd. He was interested in the mysteries of the universe - who loved looking at the skies through his Meade 14" LX600 telescope when not working on a movie set.

He was also a part of several social initiatives. The Indian Government had reportedly signed Sushant Singh Rajput to promote the Women Entrepreneurship Platform. Further, the actor also took efforts to promote education and had started a program called Sushant4Education.
