When Shekhar Suman Recalled Why Priyanka Chopra Left Bollywood: 'It Happened to Sushant Singh Rajput...'

Shekhar Suman recently told his son Adhyayan Suman, who saw a rough patch in his professional career for 16 years, to take inspiration from actress Katrina Kaif who couldn’t even say her lines properly during her initial days, but is a superstar now. Amid all this, we have got our hands on Shekhar’s old tweets wherein he spoke out about the dark side and dirty politics of the film industry.

In a series of tweets, Shekhar had said that the “cabal” within Bollywood will “oppress, suppress and persecute you” and that some members of Bollywood have “ganged up” against him and Adhyayan Suman. His tweets came after Priyanka had revealed in a podcast interview that she decided to leave Bollywood after feeling “cornered”.

“Priyanka Chopra’s sensational revelation has not come as a shocker. It is well known the way the cabal within the film industry functions. It will oppress, suppress and persecute you till you are finished. It happened with SSR,” Shekhar wrote, referring to the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

This was followed by a second tweet, where he wrote, “It will happen to others too. That’s the way the cookie crumbles in the industry. Take it or leave it. And Priyanka decided to leave. And thank God she did. For now, we have a true-blue global icon representing India in Hollywood. As they say, every cloud has a silver lining.”

In another tweet, Shekhar Suman added, “I know of at least 4 people in the industry who have ganged up to have me and Adhyayan removed from many projects. I know it for sure. These ‘gangsters’ have a lot of clout and they are more dangerous than a rattlesnake. But the truth is they can create hurdles but they cannot stop us.”

Sushant Singh Rajput passed away in June 2020. While Priyanka shifted her base from Mumbai to Los Angeles. She is currently active in Hollywood.
