Shekhar Suman's son thought of killing himself because of extreme pressure in Bollywood

Shekhar Suman revealed that his son, Adhyayan Suman, also had suicidal thoughts and wanted to end his life because of the extreme pressures faced in Bollywood.

Talking about Sushant Singh Rajput's tragic demise, Shekhar said that his son has been triggered by it.

During a chat with Mumbai Mirror, the actor said, "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."

Shekhar went on to reveal that as a father he was scared of his son taking drastic measures, so he decided to be by his side all the time.

"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," he said.

Shekhar recalled the dark days his son suffered from, stating that at times he would peek into his room at 4 AM to only find Adhyayan staring at the ceiling.

He added that he did not give up and stood strong by his son's side always.

Earlier, Shekhar had demanded a CBI probe into Sushant's shocking death. He wrote, "#justiceforSushantforum Dearest Sushant,the country is with you,the ppl are with you.we are all seeking justice for you and justice will be done.we will miss you till eternity.#CBIEnquiryForSushant. [sic]"
