Actor Adhyayan also revealed that he is concerned about his father venturing outdoors during the COVID-19 pandemic, but understands and is in support of the veteran actor’s dedication to help Sushant’s family. Shekhar Suman took to twitter to announce that he will be visiting Sushant’s family in Patna, and added that he will be requesting a CBI probe into the actor’s death.
In an interview with the Times of India, Adhyayan said “In today’s time I wouldn’t have let my father travel since it is so scary out there but I do understand that it is coming from a space where he has lost a son. When I was young I lost my brother Aayush and I think that’s where it is coming from. My father knows the pain of losing a son; I think it is the most difficult thing for a parent to go through.” Shekhar Suman’s first son, Aayush died due to a heart disease at the age of 11.
Justifying his father’s action, Adhyayan added, “Somebody has to support somebody, you can’t just say that life moves on. As much as we can do, we will make the efforts. My father just wants an enquiry, what’s wrong in that? If that is sorted and everything comes clean then everything is clean. I am pretty sure about what he wants to do. He has taken an extra step today to go out there, which is very credible on his part. Hats off to my father!”
After Shekhar Suman’s press conference, Sushnat’s family expressed resentment and accused Shekhar Suman of having a hidden political motive behind this. Supporting his father for efforts and slamming those who haven’t taken any concrete step and just waved off their responsibility by writing social media posts for the late actor, Adhyayan said, “It is outstanding for my father to go and help some unknown. He never personally knew Sushant, neither is there any personal agenda here; it is all on humanitarian ground.”
Shekhar, in a recent interview with Mumbai Mirror, had spoken about Adhyayan’s depression, and how he can relate with Sushant’s father. “Sushant was like a son to me. I can understand his father’s pain. This is because just like him, my son Adhyayan too has suffered depression and has gone through a similar phase. The film industry created several hurdles for him. Once, he even told me that he was having suicidal thoughts.”
