Shekhar Suman made her debut opposite Rekha, and their film Utsav was immediately hit, especially because of the intimate scenes between Shekhar Suman and Rekha, which soon became popular after release.
Bollywood is an unpredictable place with a fleeting reputation. People of all kinds from all over India come to Mumbai every year in order to start their journey in the film industry and be successful. However, not everyone has achieved the success and fame they dream of. One such actor is Shekhar Suman, opposite Utsav (1984) produced by Shashi Kapoor, directed by Girish Karnad. Over the years, Shekhar Suman has worked with many popular actors, starring Madhuri Dixit, Padmini Kolhapure and Dimple Kapadia.
Despite having worked with such a superstar for over 35 years, Shekhar Suman has never made a hit movie. None of his films succeeded, and were considered a box office failure. Although Shekhar Suman made a dream start in Bollywood, his time wasn't as successful as he wanted. However, recently, Shekhar Suman did redeem herself with the web series Heeramandi directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Shekhar Suman made her debut opposite Rekha, and their film Utsav was immediately hit, especially because of the intimate scenes between Shekhar Suman and Rekha, which soon became popular after release. But despite such superstars, Shekhar Suman's journey in the movie world is not easy.
There was a time when Shekhar Suman was filming for Manav Hatya, the low-budget film opposite Madhuri Dixit, often riding her bike to pick up her shoot and put down her home. Shekhar Suman himself revealed in an interview: “Utsav was postponed, between here and Anubhav, one day, I received a call and a director wanted to sign me a movie called Manav Hatya in which I played the role of a journalist. The director said that it was very little money. However, he gave me 5,000 rupees. However, I gave me 100 rupees. 5,000, I was disappointed, and he didn't say anything big heroine either.
Shekhar Suman's career in movies may be full of ups and downs, but his TV career is books. After 1989, when his Bollywood journey went down with a series of failed films, Shekhar Suman transitioned to TV, where he discovered a variety of performances and his popular talk show, the new success of Movers and Shakers.
Despite all the challenges, Shekhar Suman remains an active part of the film industry and enjoys success and respect in all walks of life. The actor has been married to Alka Suman since May 1983. An oldest son, Ayush, died of an 11-year-old heart attack on April 3, 1995.
