Did Shekhar Suman Unveil the Real Reason Priyanka Chopra Left Bollywood? Said 'It Happned to Sushant Singh Rajput too'
Veteran actor Shekhar Suman, known for his stellar performances in Bollywood and television, is currently receiving acclaim for his role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar." However, beyond the applause, Suman has always opened up about the darker aspects of the film industry. In one of his old tweets, he shed light on why renowned actress Priyanka Chopra chose to leave Bollywood.
In 2023, Suman’s old tweets resurfaced, capturing the attention of fans. These tweets offer insight into the alleged reasons behind Priyanka Chopra’s departure from the Hindi film industry. According to Suman, a powerful "cabal" within Bollywood aims to "oppress, suppress, and persecute" individuals, a sentiment echoed by Chopra in a podcast interview where she revealed feeling "cornered" in the industry.

Suman's tweets highlight not only Chopra’s struggles but also draw parallels with the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who tragically died by suicide in 2020. In one of his tweets, Suman stated, "Priyanka Chopra’s sensational revelation has not come as a shocker. The way the cabal functions within the film industry is well known. It will oppress, suppress, and persecute you till you are finished. It happened with SSR (Sushant Singh Rajput)."

Continuing his candid remarks, Suman warned that the oppressive tactics of the industry would likely continue, affecting others in the same way. "It will happen to others too. That’s the way the cookie crumbles in the industry. Take it or leave it. And Priyanka decided to leave. And thank God she did. For now, we have a true-blue global icon representing India in Hollywood. As they say, every cloud has a silver lining," he wrote.
Suman also shared his personal experiences, revealing that he and his son, Adhyayan Suman, have faced similar challenges. He accused certain influential figures in Bollywood of sabotaging their careers. "I know of at least four people in the industry who have ganged up to have me and Adhyayan removed from many projects. I know it for sure. These ‘gangsters’ have a lot of clout and they are more dangerous than a rattlesnake. But the truth is they can create hurdles but they cannot stop us," he asserted.
While Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely death remains a poignant reminder of the industry's potential perils, Priyanka Chopra’s move to Los Angeles signifies a new chapter. Chopra is now a celebrated figure in Hollywood, proving that resilience and talent can indeed transcend boundaries.
Suman’s revelations have sparked conversations about the pressures and politics within Bollywood, urging the industry to introspect and, hopefully, evolve for the better.
