Aexcept for Aashram 2 in hand. That’s when I decided to move out and started approaching people, or else even in October I was thinking I’ve no work,” says the actor, who turns 33 today. Another “big thing” for Suman is that he has taken his “first step to become independent” and has bought a house. “I moved in on Tuesday, and at night, I cut the cake in my new house with my family. I’m shooting today. This is a new beginning and answers people who have been saying ki star kids ko sab kuch uske baap karke dete hain. Aisa hota nahin hai, I’ve worked hard to be where I’m today,” adds the actor, who is the son of actor-director Shekhar Suman. Not in the mood to party on his special day, he adds, “I’m happy working on my birthday. And the way my work life is right now, I wish it to be like that forever.

I pray for everyone’s good health and hope this difficult time passes soon.” dhyayan Suman is happy to have a packed calendar this year. The actor-singer says he has struggled enough to find opportunities to showcase his capabilities and is finally getting to do that. With a bunch of projects in hand, he is working on his birthday today, too. “It’s never about how big a star I want to be, but the fact that I wake up in the morning and get to work, live my acting dream, be a musician, I’m thankful. Aashram’s success changed things for me. I’ve got much love for Tinka Singh (his character in Aashram). I’ve waited 10 years of my life to get good work, and finally that’s happening,” says Suman, who has six songs, one theatrical release and nine web projects coming up. “After Ishq Click (2016), I had no work. The film also didn’t do well. In 2018, I started my Youtube channel to pursue my passion for music. Thankfully, it was received well and I got noticed by Prakash Jha (director of Aashram) and the show happened in 2019. Then, I did Damage 2 last year but it did nothing for me. So I had nothing
