He said, “Jab I lost my son, Aayush. Das saal ki umar main maine jab usse kho diya tha toh main zindagi se poori tarah tabah aur barbaad ho gaya tha. Mujhe jeena hi nahi tha. I lost a part of my heart who was dearest to me. Aur main zameen par sar patak ke roya tha. Phir uske baad mujhe jeene ki iccha bhi nahi thi.”
Shekhar Suman added, “Main bejaan ho gaya tha. Ek dikhaave ki duniya this jahan main hass muskura deta tha ya for economic necessity kyuki mujhe ghar chalana tha. Par mujhe jeene ki iccha nahi thi.”
Shekhar Suman had previously opened up about his grief regarding the death of his son Aayush. The actor-turned-filmmaker previously compared this irreplaceable loss in his and his wife's lives to a profound betrayal in an earlier interview. After that, he claimed, he and his wife just didn't want to live any longer. They began to follow the sun's rays and center their lives around their son Adhyayan Suman, who was still alive.
Shekhar Suman talked candidly about the difficult time he spent dealing with his son Adhyayan's professional downfall. The loving father related how he frequently caught hold of Adhyayan as he stared blankly at the ceiling fan, recalling how he worried that his son might commit suicide.
Expressing his worries, he had said, “It was difficult for us to get my son out of that bad phase of his life. I used to peek in his room to check that he was okay. It has happened several times that I had opened his door to check on him at 4 or 5 a.m., only to find him staring blankly at the ceiling. I used to ask him to sleep and that we all are there to stand by him.”
