‘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. (Also Read: Kangana Ranaut's ex-boyfriend Adhyayan Suman supports her after slap incident: 'It should not have happened') 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.

Adhyayan Suman calls himself the best example of nepotism who didn't get work: 'I don't own a home at 37'
Adhyayan Suman, who debuted in 2008, calls himself a victim of reverse nepotism, struggling to get work despite his lineage. Battling depression, he felt trapped in luxury, realizing that at 37, he still doesn't own a home, highlighting the emptiness behind inherited wealth and fame. 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.

Adhyayan Suman on facing rejections and setbacks despite being a star kid: 'No one has ever handed me anything...'
Adhyayan Suman has opened up about the struggles he faced in the film industry, revealing that rejections and setbacks were a constant part of his journey despite being a star kid. In a recent interview with IANS, the actor-singer admitted that his lineage did not shield him from the harsh realities of Bollywood. Addressing the long-debated topic of nepotism, Adhyayan Suman reflected on how the assumption that star kids are guaranteed success is far from reality. In his own journey, he's endured rejections, setbacks, and moments where he was written off entirely. The actor shared, "Yes, I come from a film family, but the truth is, no one has ever handed me anything on a silver platter. My father and mother have supported me emotionally, but every audition, every meeting, every opportunity-I've had to fight for it. People think being a star kid guarantees success, but that's not true. I've faced rejections, setbacks, and been written off many times. What matters is resilience, and I've never stopped believing in myself. " Suman further acknowledged that the film and music industries have traditionally been male-dominated, especially when it comes to representation and equal opportunities. However, he believes that change is slowly but steadily taking place, thanks to filmmakers who are committed to telling more balanced stories. He specifically praised Sanjay Leela Bhansali for his progressive approach to female characters. "It's true that the industry has had gender imbalances-especially in terms of pay and opportunities. But change is happening. Filmmakers like Bhansali sir are pioneers. They don't just cast women in lead roles-they give them depth, dignity, and powerful arcs. That's the kind of storytelling we need more of, and I'm proud to be a part of such narratives." Speaking of his upcoming project, Adhyayan revealed, "I have 4 films and 6 songs this year." Adhyayan Suman is the son of veteran actor Shekhar Suman and producer Alka Suman. He made his acting debut in 2008 with "Haal-e-dil." Following that, he appeared in his second film, "Raaz - The Mystery Continues." Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
