Adhyayan Suman calls himself the best example of nepotism who didn't get work: 'I don't own a home at 37'
Adhyayan Suman
made his debut in 2008 with 'Haal–e–dil'. His follow-up film, 'Raaz – The Mystery Continues', achieved commercial success. Adhyayan's father,
Shekhar Suman
, has openly discussed the actor's battle with depression and suicidal thoughts, which arose from the challenges he faced in Bollywood.
In an interview, Adhyayan described himself as a victim of reverse nepotism and expressed remorse over not yet owning a home.
Reverse Nepotism
In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Adhyayan described his situation as a unique example of nepotism—one where he didn't receive work opportunities. He candidly stated, '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.'
Battling Depression
Furthermore, Adhyayan spoke about a difficult period in his life when he battled depression and felt trapped despite living in a penthouse. He explained that luxury can feel like a prison at times, regardless of the number of cars, houses, penthouses, or vacations one has. For someone like him, who has a strong desire to achieve something meaningful in life, such material comforts can actually lead to feelings of misery.
Reflections on Ownership
He reflected that after a certain point, owning cars and houses doesn't truly feel like ownership since these belong to his father and are the result of his hard work. Although he has enjoyed these luxuries, he feels a sense of emptiness, realizing that at the age of 37, he still does not own a home of his own.

War 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: Hrithik–Jr NTR film nears Rs 150 crore despite dip, locks horns with Rajinikanth's Coolie
War 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: Helmed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by renowned YRF under its YRF Spy Universe, War 2 had a shaky start as it opened with Rs 51 crore, as per Sacnilk details. Following day 1, War 2 on the second day of release witnessed a 50 per cent hike and minted Rs 56 crore. While the difference between 51 and 56 may not sound like a 50 per cent hike, let us tell you that since War 2 is a pan-India release because of Jr NTR's presence, it was made available in 3 languages – Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. On day 1, the Hindi belt in War 2 failed to make a mark, but on day 2 the Hindi belt witnessed double the earnings. Now, War 2 box office collection day 3 has witnessed a decline on the graph. As per industry tracker Sacnilk, War 2 collected Rs 33 crore on day 3. War 2 Box Office Collection Detailed Analysis Ayan Mukerji's directorial, featuring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani in lead roles, was released on August 14, alongside Rajinikanth's Coolie. Critics feared that Thalaivar's film may overshadow Hrithik and Jr NTR's high-octane action drama. And, in reality, it did happen. War 2 box office collection on day 1 was Rs 51 crore, with the Hindi belt earning Rs 29 crore. However, what no one expected was the rise in numbers on the second day of release. War 2 box office collection on day 2 shot up and the movie minted Rs 56 crore. The Hindi belt witnessed a 50 per cent rise as it earned Rs 44 crore, almost double the numbers from the previous day. Now, the day 3 collection of War 2 witnessed a sharp decline and managed to earn Rs 33 crore. Despite a fall in numbers, the movie has managed to earn Rs 142 crore, slowly pushing to touch Rs 150 crore in just 3 days. War 2 Competition From Rajinikanth's Coolie War 2 clashed at the box office with Rajinikanth's Coolie as both the movies were released on the same day. While War 2 earned Rs 51 crore on day 1, Rajinikanth's film minted Rs 65 crore on day 1, which indeed was a huge difference. However, both the movies managed to enter the Rs 100 crore club in just three days. War 2 Review War 2 movie review by reads, 'The plot of War 2 is painfully predictable, the VFX are subpar, and the dialogues often border on cringeworthy. Hrithik's much-hyped mass entry and a few well-executed action scenes are the only moments worth noting.'
