Adhyayan Suman On Sanjay Leela Bhansali Giving Him A Chance In Heeramandi: 'Everybody Else Closed Their Doors...'

 

 

hekhar Suman’s son Adhyayan Suman is all set for the release of his upcoming web series ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’. He first appeared on the big screen with ‘Haal–e–Dil’ in 2008, but his journey in the film industry over the past ten years has been filled with ups and downs. Recently, Adhyayan talked about his journey in the industry and how Sanjay Leela Bhansali held his hands when everybody closed their doors.

 

Adhyayan Suman Reflects On His Difficult Times In Industry

In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Adhyayan Suman said, “People thought I am a star kid and the whole nepotism debate painted me in a certain way which was completely different from who I am as a person.” “If I told anyone about what all I have gone through in the past 15 years, I don’t think anyone would care. There will come a time when I will be able to tell my story and the hardships that I have endured. What life has taught me, no school can,” he further added.

He went on to state, “Those who started working with me realised that they had misconceptions about me and told me, ‘We thought of you a certain way but you aren’t like how we perceived you.’ Even Sanjay Leela Bhansali ji was told things about me and his perception also changed after working with me. People spoke negatively about me and projected that I was not serious about what I did. I was not serious about acting or my craft. They also said that I wasn’t punctual on sets and all this is very unfortunate.”

Expressing gratitude towards SLB for giving him the opportunity in Heeramandi, he said, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali ne mera haath tab thamaa jab kisi ne mere liye darwaza nahin khola (Sanjay Leela Bhansali held my hand when others closed doors on me). So when he opened his doors for me, it meant so much.”

‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’ is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language period drama TV series by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
