Shekhar Suman on Kangana-Adhyayan relationship

Shekhar Suman was asked why Kangana and Adhyayan could not be blamed for their breakup in 2023, to which he told Bollywood Hungama, "I mean, these relationships happen, and nobody wants to sort of have a relationship and just break up and move on... They (Kangana and Adhyayan) were happy when they were together and then they went their own way. It was destiny. There should be no ill will or no inimical feelings towards each other. Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, things happen. But one should always look back with fondness.”

Shekhar Suman also seemed to be extending an olive branch to Kangana, after the latter joined BJP, a party he supports as well. In the same interaction, he said, "We are not holding on to anything at all. Not the family, not Adhyayan. I think it is pointless talking about it. I said it was just a phase. It happens, and then it's over."
