Adhyayan Suman compares his luxurious life to a jail, says he was shocked to not receive good offers after Heeramandi: ‘At 37, I don't own a home'
Adhyayan Suman made his debut in the movies 17 years ago but he believes he suffered the negative effects of nepotism as 'he did not get any work because of nepotism.' Adhyayan is the son of acclaimed actor Shekhar Suman. In a recent interview, Adhyayan said that he finds the conversation around nepotism to be extremely 'futile'. In 2024, Adhyayan was seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi, but since then, he hasn't appeared in any popular projects and the actor shared that he was quite shocked when he did not receive the kind of offers he had expected after the popular Netflix series. In a chat with Bollywood Bubble, Adhyayan said, '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.' Talking about Heeramandi, he said he found himself to be in a 'shocking' phase. ' I didn't get the kind of roles I expected,' he said.

'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,' he said. Adhyayan said that even though he lives a luxurious life, he is fully aware that his luxurious life is the result of his father's hard work. He compared his luxurious life to a prison and 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,' he said.
