Shekhar Suman takes a dig at new bunch of young actors being spotted everywhere from airports to gyms, asks ‘why do they act surprised?’: ‘They want to be seen everywhere’
In an interview, Shekhar Suman said that discipline has increased on the sets of films and shows of today's times. However, he also shared the shortcomings of this era.

Actor Shekhar Suman is all set to star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazar. The actor recently reminisced about shooting his first film with Rekha. Shekhar also revealed how much things have evolved, noting that film shoots are far more organised now compared to his earlier days when scenes were often written on the sets.
In an interview with Bollywood Now, Shekhar said that discipline has increased on the sets of films and shows of today’s times. However, he also shared the shortcomings of this era.
He said, “There are many good things in this era too. But there are also shortcomings. All these new young actors want fame very soon in their life. They want stardom overnight, they want to be seen everywhere, everyone should talk about them, reels are being made. Dikh dikh ke pareshaan hai aur log dekh dekh ke pareshaan. They are being spotted at their homes, airports and gyms. And everywhere they act surprised like they didn’t know people are going to be there, given those people are called by them.”

When asked about his first film Utsav, Shekhar Suman said, “Rekha was a big star that time and she did not have any reason to work with a newcomer. But she still chose to do the film with me. I am very much thankful to Shashi Kapoor and Girish Karnad. Only because of these three people, I am here.”
Shekhar’s son and actor Adhyayan Suman will also be seen in Heeramandi. Opening up about sharing screen space with his son, the actor said, “When we leave home, we are father-son. But when we reach the sets, we turn into competitors. Kaam toh hume behtar karna hai chahe beta ho ya koi aur ho humare saamne.”
Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazar will start streaming on Netflix from May 1.
