Priyanka Chopra revealed in an interview that she decided to leave Bollywood because she was “tired of the politics.” Now, Shekhar Suman has spoken about this.

Shekhar Suman recently advised his son, Adhyayan Suman, who has faced a tough time in his 16-year professional career, to take inspiration from actress Katrina Kaif.

Katrina struggled with her dialogue delivery in her early days but is now a superstar. Amid this, we came across Shekhar’s old tweets where he spoke about the dark side of the film industry and its dirty politics.

In several tweets, Shekhar mentioned that the “conspirators” within Bollywood will “push you down, suppress, and harass you.”

He added that some members of Bollywood had “united” against him and Adhyayan. His tweets surfaced after Priyanka revealed in a podcast interview that she decided to leave Bollywood after feeling “cornered.”

Shekhar Suman referenced the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, writing, “Priyanka Chopra’s sensational revelation is not shocking.

Everyone knows how the factions within the film industry work. They will push you down, suppress, and harass you until you are finished. The same thing happened to SSR.”

In another tweet, he wrote, “This will happen to others too. This is how the cookie crumbles in the industry. Accept it or leave it. And Priyanka chose to leave. And thank God she did.

For now, we have a true global icon representing India in Hollywood. As they say, every cloud has a silver lining.”

In another tweet, Shekhar Suman said, “I know at least 4 people in the industry who formed a gang to oust me and Adhyayan from many projects. I know this for sure.

These ‘gangsters’ have a lot of influence and are more dangerous than rattlesnakes. But the truth is they can create obstacles, but they can’t stop us.”

Sushant Singh Rajput passed away in June 2020, while Priyanka has shifted from Mumbai to Los Angeles. She is currently active in Hollywood.
