Adhyayan Suman wishes Kangana Ranaut all the very best for her political career

by Swati Sucharita

New Delhi, Apr 30: Actor Adhyayan Suman has extended his best wishes to Kangana Ranaut, with whom he had a bitter breakup after being in a relationship for a few months in 2008-2009, for her venture into politics.

The actor said that he is "sure" that she will do "extremely well".

Talking about Kangana, who recently joined politics as a BJP candidate from Mandi for the Lok Sabha election, Adhyayan told IANS: "As far as Kangana Ranaut and her life are concerned and her political career is concerned, I think she has done really well in her career as an actor, and I wish her all the very best for her political career as well."

“I am very sure that she will do extremely well too. I wish her all the very best.”

Their paths initially crossed on the sets of 'Raaz: The Mystery Continues' directed by Mohit Suri. However, it was almost eight years later, in 2017, that Adhyayan publicly addressed their breakup, during which he accused Kangana of physical and mental abuse.

Moving forward, Adhyayan is preparing for the release of 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar', a series directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, revolving around the lives of tawaifs and the nawabs in Lahore.

Adhyayan, who is playing the role of a nawab in the series, said that he has waited for an opportunity for far too long now.
