Veteran actor Shekhar Suman's son Adhyayan Suman, who made his debut 17 years ago, says 'he did not get any work because of nepotism.' The Heeramandi star said that he finds the conversation around nepotism extremely futile.
'I can say I am the best example of nepotism, as I didn't get any work because of nepotism, 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,' said Adhyayan to Bollywood Bubble. Speaking about Netflix and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi, the actor said he found himself to be in a 'shocking' phase. 'I didn't get the kind of roles I expected,' he shared.

Suman said that his role in SLB's series, Zorawar, was a 'relatively smaller role' but it was an 'impactful' one. 'I thought my luck will change now and I will get good work, good roles, but nothing of that sort happened. And for 6 months, I thought that for so long I was thinking that I am not getting a good opportunity, I got the opportunity to work with arguably the biggest filmmaker in the country today, Mr Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who came out and spoke about me. Still, you know, I didn't get the work, who am I supposed to blame? Myself or the people in the industry,' the actor shared.
Despite living a luxurious life, Adhyayan the actor is fully aware that the life he is living is because of his father's hard work. Comparing his luxurious life to jail, the actor said, 'Luxury feels like jail at one point of 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 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, 'what is mine?' At 37, I don't own a home.'
