‘Luxury feels like jail': Adhyayan Suman opens up about not owning home at 37
Actor and singer Adhyayan Suman, son of veteran actor Shekhar Suman, rose to fame with the 2009 film Raaz – The Mystery Continues. Despite the promising start, many of his subsequent films failed to make an impact at the box office. In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Adhyayan opened up about the challenges he has faced in the industry, calling himself a 'reverse case of nepotism' and expressing disappointment at not owning a house at the age of 37.

He spoke candidly about not getting work despite being the son of a well-known Bollywood actor and said, "I can say I am the best example of nepotism, jisko kaam nahi mila nepotism ki wajah se, or I can prove that. And you know, I feel nepotism is a very futile debate, and I think it became a sort of fashion conversation. Luxury feels like jail at one point in your life, no matter how many cars that your father gives you, or the house or the penthouses that you live in or the vacations that you go to, people like me with a conscience to do something in life are miserable.'
He further spoke about not having a home of his own and added, 'Because what you do beyond the point, I mean, you've owned the car, you've owned the house, it's not yours, it's your father's, it's his hard work, you've enjoyed it. But beyond the point, you feel like mera kya hai, at 37, I don't own a home."
Adhyayan made his Bollywood debut in 2008 with Haal-e-Dil, directed by Anil Devgan. He gained wider recognition with his second film, Raaz – The Mystery Continues (2009), a supernatural thriller directed by Mohit Suri. His performance in Jashnn (2009) also received praise from critics. Most recently, he appeared in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's web series Heeramandi, which featured an ensemble cast including Sonakshi Sinha, Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Shekhar Suman, and Fardeen Khan.
He will next be seen in the film Madrasi Gang, which he announced in 2021. Produced by S. N. Reddy and written and directed by Ajay Andrews Nuthakki, the film is currently in post-production.

Breakup Rumours That Surrounded Dakota Johnson, Chris Martin Before ‘Final' Split
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin had been together for nearly eight years in an on-and-off relationship. Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have officially called it quits. A news report confirms that the couple, who had been in a relationship since 2017, have now ended their nearly eight-year-long romance. Known for keeping their relationship mostly private, the two had been together in an on-and-off dynamic for several years. As per People, who cited a source close to the couple, the breakup 'feels final this time." Neither Johnson nor Martin has commented publicly on the report. While this is being seen as a final split, the pair has been subject to breakup rumours in the past as well. The Coldplay frontman and the Fifty Shades of Grey actress were first linked in October 2017 after they were spotted dining together at a popular restaurant in Los Angeles. Over the months that followed, Johnson was seen attending Martin's concerts, including a show in Buenos Aires. Eventually, her father, Don Johnson, confirmed the relationship publicly in early 2018. Though they kept most details of their relationship away from the spotlight, Johnson often accompanied Martin during his tours, and the two were frequently seen together. But in 2019, reports claimed they had broken up. Those rumours were dismissed later that year when Martin supported Johnson at a wrap party for her film The High Note. A source later confirmed to E! News that the couple was still going strong. 'They're planning to spend more time together later this summer," the source said at the time. In March 2024, People reported that the couple had actually been engaged 'for years" but were in no hurry to get married. Then in August, breakup rumours surfaced again when a Daily Mail source claimed, 'Chris and Dakota have tried desperately hard over the past few months to make their relationship work. They'll always have love for each other but they've both come to the conclusion the relationship cannot be sustained long-term." 'They're both busy people, Chris has been in Europe with Coldplay and they both have personal priorities, passions, and work commitments which don't naturally intertwine with each other. They wanted it to work but it just hasn't, and they've now accepted it is best to move on," the insider continued. But Johnson's representative shut down the claims saying the two were 'happily together." Around the same time, an insider told People, 'Sure, they've had issues and taken breaks in the past, but things are great now. They both love their careers. They are balancing things the best they can." The last time the pair were seen together publicly was on May 16 in Malibu. Earlier this year, in January, they were also photographed holding hands during Coldplay's tour stop in India. Now, just weeks after their last public appearance, the relationship has reportedly come to an end. Dakota Johnson is next seen in Materialists, releasing in theatres on June 13, where she stars alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. Meanwhile, Chris Martin is currently touring with Coldplay as part of their Music of the Spheres world tour. It is set to conclude in London on September 8 this year. First Published:

Yuvika Chaudhary Reacts To Prince Narula's Dating Rumours During Bigg Boss 9
Last Updated: Yuvika Chaudhary reflected on how perceptions can often be deceptive and shared why she chose to look beyond these rumours and trust her relationship. Prince Narula and Yuvika Chaudhary's love story began in the Bigg Boss 9 house. While the audience cheered on them, Prince's bond with another participant, Nora Fatehi, created a wave of dating rumours. In the latest, Yuvika spoke out about these speculations related to her husband. In a candid interview, she reflected on how perceptions can often be deceptive and shared why she chose to look beyond these rumours and trust her relationship. In a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Yuvika shared how she navigated those rumours before choosing to build a life with Prince. Yuvika said, 'When you see someone on screen, you only see what they want to show you. But when you meet that person in real life, you realise they're so much better than that. Also, nobody is perfect. What you feel for someone in person is something no screen can ever replicate. It's like friendship, only when you live with someone do you really get to know them." According to Yuvika, the society often rushes to pass judgment without knowing the full story. But she didn't judge Prince as she saw a hardworking man 'who wears his heart on his sleeve." 'If he's angry, he shows it. If he loves, he does it wholeheartedly. It's part of who he is," she added. Yuvika went on to say that she liked a partner who has lived his life before committing. She always believed that anybody she would marry must have lived freely, experienced things, made errors, travelled and met people. As being constrained too early makes a person look for freedom. She also joked that they started off as buddies, having open chats and even teasing him about his girlfriends. That connection developed naturally, and none of them anticipated that it would lead to marriage. She added, 'I told him: fly, as far as your wings can take you. That way, when you settle, you'll be at peace. Prince has flown, and I'm fully aware of that journey." Yuvika Chaudhary is balancing parenthood with ongoing film and television endeavours, while Prince Narula recently appeared as a gang boss on MTV Roadies Double Cross. First Published:
