Shekhar Suman Can Understand Sushant’s Father’s Pain; Reveals Son Adhyayan Had Suicidal Thoughts

One of the most adored and talented actors of Bollywood, Sushant Singh Rajput bid a final adieu to the world on 14^th June. He left his family and friends devastated while his fans were heartbroken. Actor Shekhar Suman, who thought of Sushant as his son, is also deeply affected by the tragic loss. He took to his social media handle a few days ago to share how Sushant was strong willed and intelligent and would have definitely left a suicide note behind for his family.

Speaking to Mumbai Mirror, Shekhar shared, “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.” He is now worried that Sushant’s sudden demise might trigger Adhyayan. “It was difficult for us to get my son out of that bad phase of his life. But now, after Sushant's death, I am scared and worried once again.”

Shekhar recalled how the family used to get worried when they would not hear even a sound from Adhyayan’s room. He would peek in just to check if his son was okay. Many times he would go to Adhyayan’s room to check up on him at 4 or 5 o clock in the morning, and would find him blankly staring at the ceiling. But Shekhar stood by his son’s side like a rock and taught him to find happiness in everything he had. He made him understand that his family and friends are with him.
